THEY FOUND LOST DOCTOR WHO EPISODES AND THEY'RE PART OF THE DALEKS MASTER PLAN WHAT?!?!?! If you're not a Doctor Who fan, that's like our version of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It's our Love's Labour's Won. It's our... I don't know, Cracks or something. This is huge.

‘The Arrival of the Jarrow Marchers in London, Viewed from an Interior’, by Thomas Cantrell Dugdale (1936).
#OTD 1936. Ellen Wilkinson leads the Jarrow Marchers to Westminster. The 200 men finish the 300 mile journey from the North East by asking for a steelworks to be built to combat 70% unemployment. Wilkinson says the PM refused to see them because “he was too busy”.

I’ve been waiting for Tolkien’s Bovadium Fragments since 1976, when I first read Humphrey Carpenter’s Tolkien biography … And now, by surprise, it’s almost here. What can we expect? tinyurl.com/bovadian #Tolkien #Bovadium

"Tolkien wrote the Orcs as a completely corrupted evil race" No, he didn't. STFU.
Tolkien wrote the Orcs as a completely corrupted evil race; born from evil to serve evil with no other redeemable purpose. They represent evil incarnate. The writers of Rings of Power are spitting on Tolkien’s legacy by trying to paint them as a marginalized group.

Congrats to Jeremy Corbyn for winning his seat as an Independent in the UK elections with a strong grassroots campaign. Corbyn made the mistake of believing that the Labour Party should represent labor – and was expelled. His constituents disagreed. Now he’s back.

British publishers are receiving intimidating letters from an anonymous TERF network called #SEEN telling them that their employees should not be allowed to publicly oppose transphobia. Again, transphobes declare themselves the victims while attempting to censor and silence. >

As a tiny micropress with very little reach, we've been fortunate not to receive any nonsense. I've read some of the emails folks have been receiving from #SEEN , and honestly I'm not sure I'd be able to be civil if one landed in my inbox. An absolute disgrace on the industry.

As an editor, I always make sure to ask the vitally important questions on every single manuscript I work on... Folks! When you're eating casserole - would you use a fork or a spoon? Let us know below!

For the last few years, we've been fortunate to mentor talented students from @KeeleUniversity as part of their Work Placement program. This year, Mohini (our fab mentee) finished up by writing her first online article, and we wanted to share! inspired-quill.com/blog/guid…
