Ok. Calling all creatives. Let's get to work on something more positive than glorifying fossil fuels. TV series, movies, stories. The planet needs us.

Cause...The American Petroleum Institute is backing a 7-figure ad campaign featuring real landmen during Paramount+ & CBS broadcasts of "Landman."

Great to meet up with writers I met at @saloneurope.bsky.social in London today - @tammyehuf.bsky.social & @aldbera.bsky.social

Still buzzing over the weekend with @saloneurope.bsky.social in Brussels. Old friends, new friends, genuinely blown away by the talent in the room.

Here's Belgian poet and hip hopper Giovanni Baudonck's performance, inspired by Turner's painting "The Slave Ship." He brought the typhoon alright.

What an amazing night! Great panel w @kitdewaal.com Balsam Karam & Philippe Marczewski - so many profound and diverse answers to great questions about writing, identity, process, what unroots you and being European writers.

Thanks to @deborahzafer.bsky.social @norami.bsky.social & crew ❤️

Conversations w writers - What are your dreams like? How does your memory work? What happened when you left school? Why is it easier to stand up for other people than yourself?

Other people - um, how are you?

All the good stuff today w @finnwritesstuff.bsky.social @rosaleenlynch.bsky.social August

Got my eyes on these, Tim... Think we might need a London writers' salon or book launch to introduce them 🤔
