Christopher Nolan has gone too far, sparking a craze for poetry among the youth. I was just slashed by a razor gang called the Shropshire Lads, all of them dressed as A E Housman. They called me a Modernist bitch

The end of an era, as 404 Ink closes it's doors this Summer - this might be your last chance to get We Were Always Here and Fierce Salvage, two anthologies of queer Scottish writing edited by @ryanvance.bsky.social and I, for half price!
Towards our closure in a couple of months (😭), we've just marked ALL of our ebooks down 50%, so you can grab some of them for as little as £2.25 until they all disappear on Wednesday 27th May.

Fuck this garbage. Think of all the talented artists in Glasgow who you could have chosen from to get a payday from this gig instead of the money being handed over to a slop merchant.
NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
