Extraordinary news — @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social #Trilogy #WifeWidowWitch is sitting at #1 in British Poetry on Amazon.

A haunting, lyrical exploration of womanhood, silence, & power — it’s a book that truly earns its place.

Lads, did you know that if you live in the UK you can JUST JOIN THE NATIONAL POETRY LIBRARY & send them proof of your address and then you can borrow all their e-books and audiobooks & poetry publications and shit?

Because I did not know!!!!

Thank you @ruthh.bsky.social for telling me they exist!

Goodness me, the level of misinformation about the Bartz settlement is off the scale. Please take advice only from reputable sources and not randos on social media. Good explanation here from @copyrightlately.bsky.social. copyrightlately.com/anthropic-se...
Anthropic’s $1.5 Billion Speeding Ticket
It’s the largest copyright settlement in history. But for Anthropic, it’s a toll booth, not a stop sign.
