Which one is real do you think?

I don't know. Could this be slop?

It's hard to tell the slop from the real content.

Sometimes its just so hard to spot the slop.

Really important that colleagues from the Specialist sector sign up to be part of this, not least because there doesn’t appear to be anyone from a specialist setting on the steering group. chartered.college/research-and...

Important thread, and please read the position statement. Jackdaw is a health decision, not just an energy decison. It extends the UK’s reliance on burning fossil gas at a time when the health evidence on air pollution and the escalating climate health harms is clear.

Singing in the Wire. A Willerby Story. A call centre connecting the living to the lost. Possibly our most beloved story and a good place to start if you're new to the village. willerby.substack.com/p/singing-in...

I don't suppose this is directly relevant to many of my Bluesky friends but here's a cheery new project from me. If you can make it, join me at The Ship in Crediton to sing some shanties and maybe have a drink too.

Hi #EduSky - it's time for my #Saturday3 and starting with the best thing I read this week....I feel everyone on Bluesky has read it already but if it somehow passed you by, this was great writing by @bennewmark.bsky.social. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2026/10/15/w...

Just had a very nice message about my new 'grown up' pamphlet The Relationship Expert, from the one and only Roger McGough(!!) So glad that word is getting out. I'm proud to offer this collection as a FREE digital publication, download it here: archive.org/details/the-... #BookSky #PoetryCommunity

Seems to me that the greatest determiner of whether a teacher (and an education system) will be successful and healthy in the long term is simply humility.

Anyone need a genuinely *nice* story for this Wednesday? "Takahashi thought the lost barrel might be adrift somewhere on the Bering Sea by now. Or, he imagined an 'Alaskan bear wearing my down jacket or like, playing my flute...'"

New. What those who find learning easiest can learn from those who find it hardest. I worked hard on this. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2026/10/15/w...

First time sharing this poem with anyone. It's published in my NEW book for grown ups, 'The Relationship Expert', which is available as a FREE digital publication, here: archive.org/details/the-... #BookSky #PoetryCommunity

I love a good old childish spoonerism. And so, it seems, does Stephen King.

Dear god, it's conscious!

This is a very good, fascinating piece on a phenomenon every single author I work with is experiencing right now. Some of the numbers in here of how much money some authors have been scammed out of are truly mind-boggling.

Oh hey SoA members, are you aware there's a live Members Satisfaction Survey up? societyofauthors.org/membership-s...

I was on the telly.

Call me a masochist, but I'm returning to this issue, as I feel it has been poorly understood. Please read the whole thread before responding. First, I hope we can agree that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza and horrific crimes in the West Bank and the wider region.
