@davegotsu.bsky.social & I are (roughly) halfway through our podcasting of the Discworld novels. Here we look back, discuss subseries & villains, and look forward a bit.
Quadrant 2: Halfway Through
In our look back over the 1st half of Discworld we fail to pick a fave, but do have a clear least fave. We talk through the subseries. We also make some additional comments about Maskerade and discuss the baddies of Discworld so far.

Dining Table Discworld - Quadrant 2
We look back on the last 10 Discworld novels, plus the first half of the series. Including discussion of how sometimes books need to hit you at the right time in your life, how Granny Weatherwax is li...

Yay for small things that make the world better! Every time I see something like this (swimming goggles today) that used to be sold covered in unnecessary plastic and now has paper/cardboard packaging, it makes me so happy. Manufacturers, I *will* choose this. Keep going! Make a better world real!

Double stamps at Waterstones today. Popped in for a look about. Saw @shaunalawless.bsky.social new book in the wild.

My proposal would be for up to 15 or so commissioned essays/advice in book form from various minority and marginalised "movers and shakers", covering topics from technique to industry experience. With room for an open submission period, of course. And an appendix for further reading and resources.
I'd really love to see a writing guide (and industry advice) written from a minority and marginalised perspective tbh. I imagine it would look wildly different. And be helpful to a lot of folks out there who tend to get regurgitated guidance based entirely on an unequal and exclusionary experience.

Wonderful picture.

A photo of the Reform Party office in Caerphilly. There is a metal shutter on which someone has graffitied "Now you can fuck off home"
Beautiful.
Plaid Cymru battered them.

heading to lidl in a bit - what would you fancy from the bakery section?

I am not worried about the Renegade Master because theh are clearly only armed with a dagger, and I have like 50 hit points.
My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.

Nils reviews Rachel Harrison's latest haunted-house horror PLAY NICE

"powerfully feminist, cleverly uncanny and darkly witty. Harrison never fails to deliver addictive, contemporary horror with a good slice of fun!"

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.
Amazing
