“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

In this months newsletter, I tell the story of doing my first literary festival this past weekend, and how it was a complete disaster, and also brilliant fun! #writer #substack #funny #photography #author matricardo.substack.com/p/bernardo-b...

It's not naivete, it's racism.

Whenever I realise I'm info dumping: "Then me and my friend were about to press it, but the man said not to press it, but we pressed it anyway! And we ran and we hid in this giant tire. Oh, yeah, and my other friend was already there..."

I saw this in the cinema, and 8yo me had his mind BLOWN. No superhero movie since has ever had the same impact.

I apologise for my sneakiness @waterstones.bsky.social @waterstoneskids.bsky.social 🤪

I love this and author fam, let's do this! Also, this video is a mood boost if you miss London and London bookshops like I do 🥰

How many Tylenol do I need to take to have a good rapture joke?

For the last couple of months I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077, and really enjoying it. It's by no means perfect, but the gameplay, vibe, combat, grinding, writing.. all worked for me. Finished it, and done all the extra bits now. So.. what should I play next that's similar?

If any christians who are getting ready for tomorrow's rapture have a vintage synthesizer they won't be using, feel free to DM me #YouCantTakeItWithYou #TangerineDreamIsTheOnlyTrueGod

You know this, but: (1) Tylenol doesn't cause autism. (2) Autism isn't a disease, it's a difference. Like red hair. (3) Autism is not something to be ended, its something to be understood. (4) The ghouls that are lying to you have agendas based in eugenics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyxG...

Hello everyone - wanna do a boy a favour? If you bought and/or enjoyed my book - could you head over to amazon and leave a 5 star review? I only have one at the moment, and it really helps put the book in front of new eyes. Thanks so much! www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-You-Ma...

Been using @pocketcasts.com for many many years, just noticed they've started inserting ads into the home page, so I'll be finding a new podcast app.

Listening to @jessethorn.bsky.social interviewing Jinkx Monsoon is exactly why I love both Jesse Thorn and Jinkx Monsoon

"Just kill 'em" On live TV, fox news host & professional racist liar, Brian Kilmeade, recommends murdering mentally ill homeless people A few days later people try to do exactly that. He'll keep his job. He'll keep his privilege. He'll say something similar again. abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu...

My brain isn't co-operating with my intentions this morning, so it looks like I'm taking a mental health day. In the meantime, if you haven't already, give this a watch and a share? #actuallyautistic #mentalhealth #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #autistic #audhd www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Wv...

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

Before the Nazis engaged in mass murder of Jews, they did mass murder of people with mental illness and disabilities.

Just referred to Farage, in a little piece of writing, as a "sentient wet cigarette butt" Thinking of taking out "sentient"

Today I learned that the great Cuban dancer Alicia Alonzo was blind for the second half of her career, but could still perform. She would know where she was on stage by sensing the heat from the stage lights.

Gorrrrrgeous

Last time I played Hull city hall was with Barbara Windsor in the 90's Lovely to bring my shenanigans back there last night!

Accidental star field on ratty hotel curtain

First gig back on the road since Edinburgh last night, and boy did Colchester deliver! Killer crowd who were bouncy and loud all the way through! And to the lovely person who found me afterwards and thanked me for wearing a trans love badge on stage - you made my night. This is why we do it!

Yep

We just watched a particularly bad episode of Star Trek TNG, and my wife, upon it's conclusion, stated "WELL THAT WAS A LOT OF OLD TUPPENCE" and reader, if I were not already married to her...

Giving this a push before #rfk jr makes the word #autism illegal

"We believe that in the future half the people on the planet will be AI" is a statement that really should be accompanied by gentle but firm medical specialists cradling you on both sides and saying "sure. sure. lets get you back to your room."
