will someone tell Rachel Reeves that a room full of books is better than nothing but school libraries needs librarians!! private schools know this and so have proper working libraries. all schools need that.

Hello I know I never bloot about books atm but I am reading a killer YA fantasy that is, I shit you not, best described as Godzilla x Howls Moving Castle (the movie), about a scientist girl and the dark that monsters come out of and a genderfluid intersex fae who might be in love with her??

Today I drank a strawberry slushie in which a wasp had died and frozen and thus I ate the wasp a bit too

Remember all my mad book drama? (If not, buy me a pint and I'll sing you the ballad of the dodgy ex-publisher...) Well, I'm absolutely delighted to say it's over! An enormous thanks to my wonderful new publisher @manchesterup.bsky.social Queer As Folklore will be back in the wild! 🧜🏼‍♂️

Yeah. That's him there. #dragonage

a happy birthday actually, here’s to 37. yes I am sneaking online to share photos of me looking fit

Started Our Birthday by drinking an ant

The 23rd is a powerful birthday because it is Our Birthday for me @melindasalisbury.com & @louiestowell.bsky.social. 🙏

@mangmangmang.bsky.social also think OP has misunderstood a couple of studies and broadly attributed it to “not working” so ymmv in general etc, but just wanted to flag the stomach thing as it’s nasty x

popped my head in and see people wildly misunderstanding science on all sides good ok that seems fine bye again

One of the greatest discoveries of recent that has the power to absolutely ruin my algorithm is that tomorrow, on my birthday, a lot of people believe they’re about to be raptured

I’m re-reading Vivi Conway 1 by @littlehux.bsky.social for a podcast and it is making me cry happy tears. More rep of queer neurodiverse kids in books for 9-13 year olds please! And if your kids love Percy Jackson, this is the book for them. Features Croydon trams and Crystal Palace dinos.

Nerys has been having anxiety on some evenings and we’ve been trying to work out the trigger. Turns out, it’s Tim playing Silksong. Gaming so hard he gave the support dog a panic attack.

cried so much at the tsitp finale that my support dog started alerting

I so badly want my own set of the dragon age inquisition tarot cards

I’ve discovered from this late night threads that there are a lot of people I presumed were animorphs kids who weren’t and I am agog

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 We’ve just seen this, by creator “Menapian” - a 4,998-piece set of the Great Exhibition (1851) Crystal Palace - complete with a bonus Megalosaurus and Ichthyosaur… beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

can’t believe no one else is up thinking about animorphs

doing my usual late night eBay hunting of vintage novels and I’ve discovered there was an Animorphs card game!? Did we have that in the UK? Anyone play it?

I am here more but I need youse to know that my timeline on Twitter is exclusively swifties carpenters and the most cursed dragon age memes and content you’ve ever seen in your life so it’s hard to be away from that

also yeah it’s my birthday next week cough COUGH

With Taylor Paul as the Bachelorette will we finally get it on streaming in the UK so I can enjoy it without having to ask a youth for a link

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

can we get the Pitt in the uk now

MCAS pals in the uk - tell me about your antihistamine regimen! my friend suspects MCAS & is currently halfway through a potential 3 YEAR wait for allergy testing after almost dying from anaphylaxis *twice* they’ve been told just chlorphenamine but it makes them so sleepy they can’t function (1/4)

FIRE EMBLEM HELL YES OH NO MY WALLET SOMEONE PLEASE BUY MY NEW BOOKS

I am watching Chicago fire and in the pilot one firefighter fractures something in his neck that is presented as a ticking time bomb and every episode since he’s had to grab someone falling and the show zooms in on his neck like woooaaahhhh is this going to go wrong??? I love it

That’s it Sainsburys, you tell him!

The lads are out in German this month on my birthday!!!!

The lads are out in German this month on my birthday!!!!

It's my publication day! Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Causing Chaos is out NOW. If you pop to your local indie you might just find a signed edition. And if you're quick? A free gift... Want a personalised edition? Go here! www.papercatbookshop.co.uk/products/lok... @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

I woke up this morning with my shoulder semi dislocated as you do, and when Tim was taping it back in, something made the most almighty clunk and he went oh my god out loud.

quite seriously this is what a first draft is like — you put far too much extraneous detail because you’re telling yourself the story. Subsequent drafts are about reframing that pure visualised information into an actual narrative for a reader to enjoy.

people who’ve consumed the entire Chicago one universe, is Chicago PD aggressively pro cop? Fire introduces the main guy as a corrupt cop and I’m like oh god is my comfort show of the era going to be copaganda

this is called "doing a streeting" which is to position yourself firmly on the wrong side of an issue for no reason and to no one's benefit

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

allow a little indulgence lads but turns out it’s ten years today that I seizures in a car park and decided I was going to be an author www.instagram.com/p/DOUGxq_CAA...

I have discovered a spreadsheet that covers the suggested watch order of Chicago one so if you need me for the next few years you don’t

I now own a kindle. Granted, it's a secondhand one. But it works and I'm really happy to have it. I also just loaded the Martha Wells Humble Book Bundle onto it. You still have 6 days to get it and support the work of World Central Kitchen in the process. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Thank you to the train man who, just after he blew the all-go whistle, heard me exclaim OH SHIT just as I reached the doors and told me there was enough time to get on. Legend 🙏

Will there be a day when I get drunk that I don’t talk about national identity and the Welsh language no

Perhaps you can help me start my podcast! I am looking to talk to transmasculine people who perform with their voices - actors, singers, voiceover artists, performance poets, comedians, drag acts, streamers, all of it - and who started testosterone partway through their career.

Friends! I am making a podcast (or trying to)! I think we need more information about there about what happens to your voice on T, so, now that I am a mediocre white man in his 30s... ...I am starting a podcast.

It's up to the Government what happens next, Bridget Phillipson could fix this mess tomorrow. Waving this through this would be Labour's Section 28 moment and define their legacy on LGBT+ rights.

BREAKING 🚨 The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared. It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating. But politicians still have time to stop this.
