I'm thinking of going with this artwork for the new single.

What do you think?

This is such a good story about farming from the Nature Friendly Farming Network about a very small farm in Pembrokeshire

I'm really finding Paul Lynch's Prophet Song tough going. Ordinarily a book like this might take me three days, but this is very slow as I have to take frequent breaks from reading. It's just too real, scary, visceral.

A real surprise, as I don't normally read a "popular" or prize winning books, usually finding the less loved ones in book shop corners or in the library.
It's very, very good, but I've loved his previous work too.

@ronanmcd that was my experience too and it took me several days after finishing it to find a balance

@ronanmcd being in Dublin must make it even more frightening and yet, although Iโ€™m in Wales, under Westminster it seems all too possible

@JuliaBarrell @AngharadHafod @Eastenderinwales and Sunak is making capital out of it too ๐Ÿ˜ค. Thereโ€™s real fear amongst my farming neighbours but just like before Brexit the tories are lying to them. The real issue is that food is too cheap and wages too low - I wonder who benefits ๐Ÿ™„

Lovely friend in Coventry cooked a version of this that had guacamole as well. I couldnโ€™t find coriander and wild rice locally but I did grow the squash, black beans, garlic, chillis and tomatoes. It wasnโ€™t as amazing as hers but it was pretty nice

@pedestrians1st so letโ€™s get rid of โ€œindustrial farmingโ€ since thatโ€™s not farming thatโ€™s dreadful for the livestock, the planet, the bio system and only good for shareholders

are there any fantasy books with the main characters being villains, women, AND gay for each other?
I've just read something like this, but it was YA, and I thought how wonderful it would be to have something similar with adults.
