If you want compelling and raw insights into youth violence and gang culture, as well as family and care, read this new memoir essay by award-winning Scottish author and documentary-maker Graeme Armstrong. The man's brilliant and this long read is well worth your time.

CW: violence, weapons, victimisation, mental health and panic, trauma, drugs, death, suicide, murder.

Working today on a short story I got the plot of last night while listening to an audiobook. It's set in Glasgow and is a bit of an urban fantasy / magic realism sort of thing. So my soundtrack for it has to be Peter Capaldi's St Christopher. What else?

Is this the new twitter? Is this safe social media? Will we all be tooting by next year instead of tweeting or whatever it is that happens on relentless tiktok? Tentatively hoping this will be a a gentle open forum for creativity without life sapping distractions and sniping.
Maybe I’m being naive.

🌿🌙🦉📖💜Preorders are open for ASHES & STONES! (Link in bio.) (Blackwell’s offers free shipping to the US.) Preorders- especially for marginalised, disabled writers like myself—are really important. They are a vote to publish more books by writers who are underrepresented in big publishing.

I thought I’d try & find an outfit for my book launch this week, but I find engaging with fast fashion 100% depressing. So everyone will have to put up with a poorly altered, slightly weird, second hand outfit instead.
