• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Profoundly moving poem by Neyzen Tevfik (translated from Turkish)


I won't call you a shit,
The shit would feel bad.
If a piece of you fell in shit,
It would spoil the shit
The god kneaded your dough
With (literal) shit,
Your mother gave birth to you accidentally
While shitting.

So beautiful *sobs*
