No Typewriters / No Talking – A writers group with two rules, they're in the name.
notypewriters.com
Hello, Bluesky. We're a group for writers with only 2 rules... they're in the name. We're based in Melbourne and welcome writers of any stage, genre or format to write in silence, just not on a gosh darn typewriter. For more info and to find our next session, check out our site 👉 notypewriters.com
Jelena Potpara's poem 'What is a Bat?' is the first piece in Patter.
Potpara's cute little poem was inspired by one of her nieces and exudes whimsy and playfulness off the page.
It's the perfect way to dive into this eclectic collection of poetry, prose, and non-fiction.

We’re not happy about this. But given big tech’s insistence of ramming AI — something we hate more than typewriters — into everything, we’ll allow it.
"let copilot help you draft"
"can gemini write that for you"
I have now taken the only reasonable course of action in the circumstances
