What they say about #WeatherReport 😊

You would welcome an early hour of quiet writing? I am hosting the February sessions of The Bag of Stars next week, online, Mon 17th through Thursday 20th at 7am. It’s the space where we get stuff done, before the distractions and demands of the world take over. Details below 👇

The Winter/Spring issue of @Trasna_ is live!!

@joeliveline My book Weather Report is a 90-day #journal, using the #Beaufort Wind Scale as a tool for reflection. Plus a daily invitation to write or draw something you found beautiful in your day. #selfpublish margaretaobrien.com/books

@TrampPress Thank you.

@margaretwriting No, but we do sometimes close if there's a lot to get through. No plans to do so yet.

We're open for submissions! We would love to see new writing, and that includes fiction and non-fiction. Check out our guidelines, and if you have questions that aren't covered in the FAQ, ask us here! tramppress.com/submissions/

@ColetteColfer @AnPostIBAS @Independent_ie Thrilled for you Colette! Whoop!! 🙌

Absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted. Thank you so much @AnPostIBAS and @Independent_ie If someone told me that someday this would happen…. 🤯

@JulieWard_ Good to see a turnip Julie - very Irish! 👻

I don’t think my turnip wants to be carved. #Halloween

Read in full, Keith is spot-on.

@HawHillFarm 💯 Keith - it’s a system that is broken, that is breaking everything.

A thread on why organics or any other farming are not the exit strategy from climate/biodiversity crises. Right now. Short answer. We have exactly the farming system we want and paid for at the moment. And no one is interested in paying for the one we need. Long answer below..

One way to bring more light into our lives as the days shorten is to get together at Poetry Plus & share words in a supportive group of writers & readers. Date: Fri 1st Nov. Time: 8pm in Brewery Lane Theatre, (E32 HD74). I would love to see you there. #carrickonsuir

Please #BackUs & @SBH_PAG Children who are living with #Scoliosis and #SpinaBifida are entitled to access timely and quality healthcare. There are still hundreds of children waiting on a first spinal assessment. Still hundreds of children waiting for urology assessments and care. Still 264 children on a spinal surgery wait list. This is a children’s rights issue. @SimonHarrisTD @DonnellyStephen @MaryLouMcDonald @RoisinShortall @ivanabacik @mattiemcgrathtd @Kathleensf1 @JMcGuinnessTD @catherinegalway @paulmurphy_TD @mulvanypeopleb1 @TomClonan @conwaywalsh @loreillysf @WhitmoreJen @AnneRabbitte
