Here's a longread I wrote for the @LRB on the waxing & waning fortunes of an Ayrshire seaside town (my hometown, Prestwick) & how the restoration of its 1930s cinema designed by Ramsay MacDonald's son might help restore the glamour. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/… lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

As someone who’s always lived in and around Edinburgh and who has quite the love/hate relationship with festival season, t’was a delight to be commissioned to write a wee festival inspired story for @BBCRadio4 Short Works programme. Tune in Aug 16, 3.45pm bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

The brilliant @jm_stout reads from her book Night Train to Odesa on @BBCRadio4 all week at 11.45am. A cracking listen offering insight into the people of Ukraine, the business of war reporting and the uplifting powers of a good jig @PolygonBooks bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
This book is superb. And it'll be a Radio 4 Book of the Week in early June. Read it, then listen to it - travel twice with Jen!

The only reason Deerhoof can afford to continue is bare-bones touring, one crew, tiny equipment, self-produced records, and we didn't have kids. Even so, our income hovers near the poverty line every year. I don't understand how newer artists do it. theguardian.com/music/2024/apr…

I cannot emphasise just how devastating the proposed @GlasgowCC cuts to @mcrpathways Coordinators will be if they go ahead. They provide unique, dedicated & crucial support to the young, care-experienced mentees (& mentors too, of which I'm one). Pls sign! mcrpathways.org/save-mcr-glasg…

Thank you so much @guardian & @zoesqwilliams for interviewing me about Covid, junior doctors, government spin & why it felt so burningly important to bring the NHS’s pandemic to screen. BREATHTAKING is coming to @ITV in Feb. Please watch 💙 #NHS theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…

I should add this book to my illustrator collection for #NationalIllustrationDay the Reader’s Digest Book of British Birds. Such beautiful illustrations and I confess I don’t even know who the illustrator is. I loved and still love this book so much.

You think about what that paper did to Liverpool. What it said about the people who’d been killed. That paper doesn’t give a fuck about you or the truth or justice. That paper cares about power.

Dave Grohl’s story (and impression) of Christopher Walken asking whether the emphasis was on “Foo” or “Fighters” is absolute gold.

It’s the official launch of Rural today! I still can’t believe I’ve written a book and couldn’t have done it without help from so many people. Thank you to everyone - and to this really lovely community on twitter - you’re all amazing! @JoFThompson @LauraNMeyer @agentjenny
