I will not be the first nor the last person to say this, but the whole process of applying for PIP when you have Chronic Fatigue / ME is literally making me more ill. I slept for 16 hours yesterday because it is hurting my head so bad.

QOTD. Why is the show 'Nothing to Declare' about Australian airport border control on the channel Sky Witness, while the almost identical yet geographically different show 'Airport Security USA' is on Sky History? And yes, I am still unemployed, thanks for asking.

Jamie Woods

If anything, the US show is more recent, and therefore less historic. Although they blur more faces, so their witnessing is less precise. Anyway, I think I'd like to work in an airport xraying suitcases.

#InConversationInCritique with @jamiewoods77.bsky.social What happens when the work is actually read, closely? Alan digs deep into Jamie Woods’ latest, challenging the poems and the person behind them. Interview + Critique by @alanparrywriter.co.uk 🔗 alanparrywriter.co.u...

He writes because he must—because the words arrive heavy, vital, unfinished until spoken aloud. “I’ve always written: lyrics, reviews, short stories, opening chapters to novels, and poems,” he says.

A lovely review from the depths of Paul's Book Bag. *Blushes*

Paul@paulwritespoems.bsky.social

This week in The Book Bag, take a trip down memory lane to the 90's with a different perspective in Black Skies Die Starless, feel moved by the emotional authenticity. A tremendous book by Jamie Woods, published by Punk Dust Poetry. Plus all the other regular news...

paulwritespoems.comThe Book Bag: Black Skies Die Starless by Jamie WoodsWelcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. I’ve had a slower week this week. Shared a video of me reading one of my poems on social media, visited the Northern Poetry Library on Monday, sent some submissions off and spent some time on my my own writing. On Saturday evening I was able to see some incredible poetry at Louis Longson’s last Saturday of the month poetry readings. Also I went out for lunch with my team from work to a great Asian place. …

Cooly eating a callipo for lunch in the shade of my living room, while people are voluntarily going outside in this weather, and yet somehow I'm the one who genuinely can't get life insurance because I'm too "mentally unstable"...

I walked around that duckpond for hours as I tried to get well enough to cope with having chemo again. Not quite as exciting as walking The Salt Path, but there were lots of benches to sit on along the way. And it's a true story...

Did you like The Salt Path, but feel duped? Why not read an truthful poetry book about a man who had acute cancer and walked around a pond in the hospital grounds for hours?

Accidentally posted something on ThReAdS which was meant for here. it's gone a bit loopy, as things do on that mess of a website and I've been accused of 'calling for gen0cide' by posting Free Palestine. SMH How's your day been?

People give the BBC a lot of abuse from the left, from the right, and they don't have an easy position being required by the moral majority to be balanced. I disagree with their 'news' opinion of Palestine, but they are showing this on iPlayer.

If you are worried that Meta took your writing to train it's AI, know that the list is simply a list of pirated books that would probably have been available. If you're on it, it doesn't mean they used your work ("knowing which parts of LibGen used... is impossible"). It's still shit, obviously.

Jamie Woods
@jamiewoods77.bsky.social

Being on LibGen means that your book is available to its users for free. That's another whole kettle of fish - I'd suggest you make a pot of tea and read what happened when the music industry tried to shut down Napster....
