The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

If a business throws food away rather than giving it to their employees or people in need, they should pay a massive fine.

I mean more than the profit from the food if they sold it. We should ruin any business vile enough to throw away surplus and let people go hungry.

Nobody in the most prosperous time in human history should starve, and we should all treat anyone who suggests otherwise as a danger.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

"I hope this email finds you well"

How the email finds me:

Heidi Klum hissing towards the camera in her Halloween costume - she appears to be dressed as Medusa - a giant snake, with small snacks in her hair. Gazing upon her will freeze you into stone

However you calculate it, a person joining the waiting list for the Sandyford now will face a wait list longer than the average lifespan in Glasgow. There is effectively no gender service for anyone in any of the catchments the Sandyford 'serves'

We get the same here in the UK from time to time and it's always the blandest, least nutritious stuff imaginable (and with no regard for how much cooking it would cost either).

Falls get more serious the older you get too; real easy to break a hip once you hit a certain age.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle.

www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

When I say "I have a conflict with this meeting" I do not mean that I have another meeting at the same time.

What I mean is, I take ubmrage against it. I have a feud with it on a historic scale.

If you’re in Edinburgh and you fancy a free(!) short story to read, you’ll currently find a stack of our Little Uncertainties in Argonaut Books, Curiouser & Curiouser, Golden Hare, the Portobello Bookshop, Topping & Co, and Typewronger. Spread the word, and grab yourself one before they’re gone!

The beginnings of a new body of work, also been tidying up my social media and am tentatively back on insta mostly because I refuse to sign up to any more apps! I barely use the ones I have but you can also find me there, sometimes.

#art #collage #mixedmedia

A collection of mostly collage pieces, a photo of a tower block and an embroidery hoop with a geometric shapes in primary colours stitched on it have been stuck to a wall as a planning exercise. Themes that run through these pieces are the use of geometric shapes such as circles, rectangles and triangles and primary colours such as bright yellows and bold blues. Also subject matter revolves around environment, climate change and socio economics. Also pictured ar a box of paints and a stack of paper.

Trick or Treaters don’t like it when you offer them a healthier alternative to sweets, like an old wardrobe I want rid of.

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Nick Pettigrew @nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 2d

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

Gabby HC @scriblit.bsky.social · 2d

My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.

Working on the DOCTYPE magazine web page

FAQs
Q: What do I get for my hard-earned cash?
A: A nicely-made magazine with a glossy colour cover on the outside and ten printed listings of web pages on the inside, accompanied by illustrations and info.
Q: I don't get it, it's a magazine of HTML source code?
A: Yes, you type it in then you get to play the games and run the apps.
Q: Type it all in? Why?!
A: Because it's a lost form of software distribution. It was intriguing and rewarding back then, maybe it still is now.
Q: Don't I need a web server or something?
A: No, you edit a file on your machine then open it in a browser.
Q: Can I cheat and get a PDF instead?
A: No.
