I just dipped into a MOOC called Start Writing Fiction by the Open University. Working from home doesn’t give me enough time to engage with online learning fully. I noticed that time was running out. You only get a set amount of time to access the course material. That’s why…

Continue reading →: Black Lives Matter
I just had to listen to a load of old tosh on local radio from some pillock who doesn’t get it. He took issue with the words “Black Lives Matter” claiming that it marginalised the black community and that we should be saying that all lives matter. Not only did…
