For this #DoctorWhoDay let me just use this pic again. My latest addition to the collection and I think it's the oldest one! Found it in an Antique Shope in Knaresborough while visiting last week. Happy Day to all who celebrate.

So our latest “making publishing less scary” event was standing room only by the end, and @katemckean.bsky.social was just so wildly brilliant. What a great afternoon.
My lil’ agency will be back with more events like this in the New Year. Thanks for supporting this! ❤️

Teaching the Twenties in 12th Grade Humanities (or 6-7) by Alexandra Umlas - Rattle: Poetry

the market, the dress across the floor, the jazz,
the market crash, the flapper, they want to know more.
