#Throwback to milk inspector Korbessa urging Keeper Joseph along – those bottles won't make themselves! What began as a one-off extra serving of milk turned into a daily expectation. The boys in the herd don’t even bother asking – they know that bonus bottle belongs to her: swt.bio/korbessa

Everything I've learned about Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will. I'm not going to *deliberately* learn more
Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Review: Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

I'm a debut author with a romantasy novel out now!
Princess Rhiannon was meant to marry a dragon. Her father engages her to a knight instead. The dragon seems like the better option.
She runs away, meets a bard, and the rest you'll have to read to find out! 😉

My wife is an illustrator who does a lovely range of seasonal and nature themed cards, prints, teatowels (sometimes with awful puns I have repeatedly failed to veto). All her illustrations are hand-drawn and coloured. She also does commissions, with custom maps being a speciality: www.coostie.co.uk

I’ve brought back the ‘80s BASIC type-in mag, but for HTML!
It’s a glossy, professionally-illustrated thing with 10 genuinely interesting programs, great gift for computer nerds (but you don’t need any coding experience)
