New article, definitely something for the social history fans - the monkey parade (or 'monkey run'). Teenagers promenading in towns and cities on Sunday evenings, flirting, cruising. It was dubbed the “monkey parade” or the “monkey run”.

Book, author and publisher all well worth checking out #Booksky
Oh… some news from Badger HQ - we’ve pressed CTRL+P to get a small run of the brilliant ‘Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel’ by @drewgum.bsky.social back in print!!
A book this good deserves to be available, and will hopefully serve as a springboard for new titles in 2026!! 🤞🏼

Another sharply drawn character study from Willy Vlautin.
It aptly has the sadness and resilience of an old country/blues tune. Great writing.
