Cyberpunk connects and reflects us. Exists like a nucleus at the epicentre of community. It touches so much and connects. And Trans+ people have been here from the beginning in one form or another. Help fund a book exploring that connection and so much more.

People frequently complain about being heavily pregnant in summertime, but what's less-often commented on is that that means you're first trimester in the dead of winter - with eternal rain, mood swings, and limited caffeine to help get out of bed in the mornings...

I'm still not sure what I thought about the autistic representation in Patience series 1, but every ND experience is different and I do like a good murder, especially when it's set in my town, so I'm going to give series 2 a go.

Hey, it’s a hard Monday, if you need some books here they are — short ones, sapphic ones, historical ones, the one with chickens, the ones in space, the one with bees, and the historical pair with demons falling in love where everyone’s named after apple varietals: www.oliviawaite.com/books

"I was going to contact you but a day turned into a week. Then it turned into a thousand years. Then it was just weird." -Perfect ADHD quote from Lucifer

I thought I'd stan Esther--with her Gravity Falls Mable esque high energy and creativity--but Abaddon is my very inner gremlin and I appreciate that in his erratic character. #hauntedhotel

Why do I Google questions I know full well the answer to...

So I edited my Master's project and put it on BookFunnel as a companion to my queer romance novel dl.bookfunnel.com/2uluv3v8xk

It’s here: the cover for the UK edition of VILE LADY VILLAINS, coming out April 02 2026 by Penguin Michael Joseph🖤

I'm probably not going to watch the movie, but I am still so hyped for the FNAF 2 movie. The LOREEEE

POV: listening to Falling For Strangers for the first time and getting jumpscared by Alex's whispered "Fuck it" on the bridge but loving it #alltimelow #everybodystalking

Nursery are insistent that we should name things to stop them getting lost or taken by the wrong children. Except - we've had two things that have gone missing in our time--the two items of clothing that WERE named #urg #parentproblems

Sometimes I think I'm an expert at masking and then I remember that if I were, I'd probably be better at retaining friends and not irritating people, urg #neurodivergent

OCTOBER OCTOBER IS NATIONAL FREE WILLS MONTH not November let me get my head screwed back on, sorry

This is bloomin brilliant www.youtube.com/watch?v=niRT...

I'm officially shelving my timey wimey fantasy (I mean, I shelved it in June, but just haven't had the time to do a lot of writing admin over the past couple of months) and having looked through my querying spreadsheet, it turns out it's had 99 rejections. Sooo...one more query, then? #writerproblem

BBC article about the cooperative living scheme down the literal road from me. (I'm so proud of everyone involved!) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not me editing a novel where my MC is actively not into customer service jobs when I'm about to go back full time into a front of house role because I miss the direct nature of helping people 🙃 #amwriting #writerproblems

I feel like I'm doing curly hair wrong, but I don't know how to do it RIGHT urgh

What I do so love (hate) about functioning depression is that I can get on with my day job stuff and laugh at temporary jokes and things that amuse me, but underneath it, I'm just constantly hurting and apathetic to things that cerebrally I know I love.

#writerproblems Once again, this first chapter is beating me 😭😭 helpppp #amediting

Any other writers Google the definitions of words you know just to see which one would be more powerful in the sentence? #amediting #writerproblems

My dad in Intense, but one of the reasons I enjoy his company is that I get to ask random questions that occur to me without being made to feel like they're stupid questions. The way I process information is by asking first non yes-no question that comes to mind, to seek more data. #neurodivergent

I maybe haven't talked about it much, but I have a book coming out! Here is the first announcement and the landing page to sign up for alerts about it through my publisher, Space Wizard Fantasy! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Again out here petitioning for ovulation pain to be recognised as a painful time of the month

I hate to say it, but for once G*ogle's AI knows what I'm on about with a neologism #stilldontcondoneit

“[R]acism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.” Toni Morrison

Once again, I have some spare time to write/edit and I'm sick booo

Hey Edinburgh and Glasgow peeps, you need to get tickets for this The Needfire is beautifully brilliant

Went to bed with a migraine, took 2 aspirin at 4am when the 2-year-old woke me, woke up for work still in nearly-unbearable pain, and only after 2 hours of work and parenting has the pain relief, cold flannel, bites of dry crackers, and the coffee kicked in. 'Bout 90% sure it's hormonal. :/

Where did this humidity suddenly come from? The rest of the week, it felt colder. #immelting #britishheatwave

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Earworms of pop music: 'I heard it on the radio' has been replaced by 'I heard it via TikTok' and I don't know whether to cry or wonder at the technological evolution.

love that the diet section of "eastern gray squirrel" has this extensive image gallery

Can't believe I missed World Bee Day the other day! My little fuzzy buzzy friends!

Working from home with kids is just so unsustainable in the long run (and I think most of us know it). Just me, trying to get on with my Day Job, whilst thinking about the writing I want to do later. Almost-4-year-old from upstairs: I want Mummy! 2-year-old: No, I want Mummy! Sigh.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

I normally pride myself on being thorough on proof-reading my queries for mistakes, but I've just read back through a recent query and realised I didn't check the personalisation section 🙈 Ah well, life goes on & I'll just hide in a cave 🙈 #amquerying #writerproblems

Arghhh, just caught myself physically scripting half of a conversation I have no recipient for! But I have thoughts about my query that I need to discuss with someone who knows spoilers. But no one's read whole thing. Cause I'm still trying to get my character likable in the opening! #neurodivergent
