The British public seem averse to the reality that covid is still a thing to be wary of, let alone the potential life altering consequences of it.

This quote here is bang on.

#writerscoffeeclub Jan 25. What comes first: setting, character, plot? What comes next?

Sometimes a title arrives in my mind and it demands I write a story that goes with it.
But usually I have a couple of each category (plot, setting, characters) floating around in my imagination and I play about with seeing how they fit together... until the Idea strikes and I have something.

Name a poem that's influenced you...

Not really a poem, but it's a song from Rammstein called Dalai Lama from their Reise, Reise album.

The line in particular: "wir muss am Leben bis wir sterben" or in English "we must live until we die" (or thereabouts.)
That particular line has stuck with me to the point I think about it almost every day. Also the line: The father presses the soul out of the child.

I just found out the UK govt is taking active steps to enact a fascist dystopia.

They want to age verify VPNs and make encrypted communications a hostile act.

We need to act!
Talk to your MP. Email your MP.

Or, if that's too much, support the orgs that are trying to keep us all safe!

Yus!

In some casual research I came across an article called "How are women sicker than men? An overview of psychosomatic problems in women"

I found it on JSTOR, it's an actual article. Written in 1982.

I hate it. I hate the accusing tone, I hate that it was accepted, I hate it all.
