Word. Each day, week, month - good things keep adding to the momentum of the positively shifting culture of our era. Goodbye Gove. Hello Morning Gloryville at Oval Space - the mid-week breakfast rave. I mean, really - hello!

We say a big Hello to Book Slam whose next event at York Hall features a stellar line-up of bookish talent - subversive and exciting wordsmiths - yes, stand up for Irvine Welsh, Bill Hillman, Viv Albertine, Doc Brown, and Kate Tempest.

If you're curious, you're invited to join them - read more here.

In our Magazine section you'll find details of a 60-minute masterclass in Critical Writing by acclaimed pro' Ben Walters. It's a brilliant read produced the the Guardian and includes input from Maddy Costa, Lyn Gardner, Donald Hutera, Jessica Winter, Steve Bennet and Mark Cousins.

In keeping with ballsy actions for a better world - we've got a soft desktop action for you: simply sign the Greenpeace petition telling LEGO to cut its ties with Shell.

They're co-ordinating a massive global protest at various cities around the world - hold the date: Sunday 21 September. Read more here.
