In today's podcast @Inspireajen chats to artist and founder of the Red Dress project, Kirstie McLeod, about the project, embroidery as a (perhaps) surprising medium through which to pioneer social justice, and the joy of putting needle to thread. Dig in! buff.ly/UI6TBog

It's autumn, and since that usually means the return of Heavyweight, we wanted to say hello. We've been looking for a new home for the show, and should have more news to share with you very soon. Stay tuned! open.spotify.com/episode/4dh…

I bloody LOVED interviewing one of my fave authors. 😍
Welcome to the first podcast of the week! In it, @hazedavis chats to best-selling author @lisajewelluk about her first Marvel outing, Breaking The Dark, as well as None Of This Is True, killing characters and writing her first book as a bet. Have at it! bit.ly/3VZrRm2

Dunno who Hazel Davies is but I enjoyed this interview!
In today's new podcast, @hazedavies is chatting to @KatherinePriddy about her new album #ThePendulumSwing, performing at #CambridgeFolkFestival, the difficult second album and the most folk way to die. Tuck in! bit.ly/3OJWglr

I know I'm banging on, but it's publication day tomorrow and I NEED you to buy this novel, so I can keep writing more novels and not have to write hideous columns about 'lesser mortals' for the right wing press. Help me out, please RT? Thank you! geni.us/B0CNW4NYNXauthor

Please please please apply for free voter ID here, and spread the word! electoralcommission.org.uk/v…
Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

Are there any small retailers on here who want to chat to me about stocking tobacco and tobacco accessories? For an article, I'm not thinking of taking it up. #journorequest
