It has enabled me to keep in touch with folks while I've been bedridden. I'd be lost without it.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Here to gather up, analyse and disseminate your data to help uplift the comics world, like if Robin Hood was a statistician or something.

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.
Writing doesn't always mean the physical act. It requires time to think. Thinking time is writing time, but it's something not everyone has the brain space for. Writing is missing those experiences that mean no time to think freely e.g. caring responsibilities, fighting for rights etc.

Inclusion isn’t just a nice "tag on" if there’s time and money. It’s imperative. Not just socially, but commercially, says Beth Cox in our recent Comment piece 👇 #BookSky
Inclusion: a commercial imperative

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 881:
If you’d like to broaden your vocabulary, read. Read widely, and often. That way you’ll absorb new language organically and use it naturally…

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Are you a disabled, chronically ill, or neurodivergent writer with a recent or forthcoming book? If so, query us about our new book review and interview series. We'd love to celebrate your work!

A black Nerve to Write logo sits next to black text reading “Book review and interview series” followed by text reading “Are you a disabled writer interested in being featured? Email queries to nervetowrite@gmail.com”
Bit overwhelmed with family things at the moment tbh. Sorry.
This is more about work related things than anything else.
Once you've disappeared by means of chronic illness, disability, lack of access, and general ostracization due to your situation, nobody will hear you because who listens out for those missing from the table?

Inclusion is a decision, and so is exclusion.
