Thanks to all involved in organising and contributing to a fabulous #CIEP2023!

When the Oh Shit moment comes along next year, and it's time to book, who knows whether curiosity really will get the better of fear ...

From the Guardian. Not so much a sentence, more a matryoshka doll.

“The plane that crashed in the Tver Region listed Yevgeny Prigozhin among its passengers, (Russia’s aviation agency) Rosaviatsia said,” TASS news agency reported, AFP reports.

Once you've learned how to write "Shit, I am so drunk," in Sanskrit, Mandarin and Arabic, you're pretty much ready to open your own tattoo shop.

We're rewatching old #taskmaster seasons.
My brain has been playing this tune, and this game, for two days straight.

Doo-do do doo-do-doo do
SPANNER

Doo-do do doo-do-doo do
MOLLUSC

Doo-do do doo-do-doo do
EARWORM

I may require an intervention.

Just tried to reply to a #Bluesky post using #Threads.
So obviously the only thing left to do now is to post about it on #Mastodon, then screenshot it and put it on #Twitter.

Once again reminding thoughtful users to please include camel-case in your hashtags— #AmEditing #AmWriting #AmReading #WritingCommunity #SmallBusiness —to assist with text-to-speech readers for vision-impaired internet users. The capitals help the readers parse the individual words, which would otherwise come out as garble.

If you believe everyone should have access to everything online, or are even excited at the thought of everyone coming to the table, please consider this practice. #a11y

I've got a new follower on #Twitter. Like someone turning up to a dinner party just as the hosts are loading the dishwasher.

Hello everyone! 👋 We've joined the fediverse as part of an experiment with our friends from BBC Research & Development. Read more about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub

It's taken me many years, but today I knew Mr B's transition to full-blown cricket fan was complete.

On a beach in the Scottish Highlands, he approached a random stranger (whose radio was playing TMS) to ask what the score was.

My work here is done 😁

Just popping in to the previous #Twitter replacement to say that I'm now on the latest Twitter replacement at https://www.threads.net/@rewrittenuk

I've just discovered the existence of something called a Nose-Hoover thermostat and now I can't work for laughing.

Happy Wordleversary to me! I get a medal now, right?

#Wordle #OneYearOn

One day to go – and I almost fell at the penultimate #Wordle hurdle.

What idiot called it a hangover instead of not calling it anything, and not saying anything at all and just being very, very quiet please

Bollocks. I forgot to put the sprouts on.

That's the problem with a September birthday. There's too much else going on.

@Liveotherwise Sounds great. Give me a yell if you want me to do a sample edit for you in the new year 🙂

@Liveotherwise I'm an editor (Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading; website link in my bio) and I've worked with quite a few indie authors over the years. What genre is your book?

@caughtjester they're fabulous!

As one, a nation shouts "No! That's not a fiver!"
