So here’s my take. We priced working class people out of journalism with the prevalence of unpaid internships. And the fee-paying school kids who replaced them are the most gullible people imaginable. Cause if you don’t think this was a nazi salute, I dunno what to tell you

I think about this @poorlydrawnlines.bsky.social cartoon every single time I look at my dog

It's still available to buy this Christmas. obrien.ie/and-a-bang-o...

And if you don't believe me that you might like it, here are some other writers who did too 😅

35 years ago today, a young lad went out to play a game of football and his life changed forever.

In 'And a bang on the ear' I wanted to not just write Phil's story in own words, but to structure it in a way that gave an insight into life with a traumatic brain injury.

I think I achieved that?

The Minotaur Takes A Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill. A phenomenally well-written book that’s deeply appropriate for a lot of how people experience existence at the moment. And yet people seem to think I’ve made the whole thing up when I mention it (but look, it’s real)

And, shure lookit, even if it doesn’t get a nod, I’ve been able to add these blurbs to my CV. So it can’t be all bad

Feeling a lot of this over the past while

I hate that you can taste this after using it in your nose
