Charmed as ever by @taffyakner.bsky.social observer.co.uk/culture/book...

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. Please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always. My statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling today:

I wrote about my friend's father, a Holocaust survivor, and how the stories you run the fastest from end up being the only ones that you were inevitably bound to write in the first place. I'm sorry for the delay. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/m...

I had a delightful time taking to @schreiberland.bsky.social on the brilliant We Can Be Weirdos podcast. I can't remember exactly what I said but subjects covered involved doomsday, ghost architecture, JFK, locked room mysteries, and scarves from parallel universes pod.link/1687199754

My book is OUT TODAY! It is about the apocalypse. Buy it now, before it becomes even more uncomfortably topical! Discover why all the critics* are raving about it! linktr.ee/endofthefcki... *2 critics

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Had the pleasure of reviewing the long-awaited debut novel by Chris McQueer. Read the review HERE: www.heraldscotland.com/life_style/2...

Great to see Chris, man of many talents and also haircuts, being interviewed about his gorgeous debut novel HERMIT in the @heraldscotland.bsky.social this week

Apologies that I will become insufferable for the next few months, but: my new book is now officially A REAL THING THAT EXISTS. It's a history of the apocalypse. It's out on February 25 in the UK. Really hoping that... well, the apocalypse doesn't happen before then.

Fifty-one of women's worst nightmares are going to prison. Countless other nightmares remain at large. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Luv 2 see HERMIT in this gorgeous stack, thanks Alice!!

And good morning to this great news that the home team found my book notable! Thank you, @nytimes.com Books, I love you! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Crying over here! Thank you, @washingtonpost.com! www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...

We’re very pleased to reveal the 2025 Wingate Literary Prize longlist. Comprised of seven novels and seven non-fiction titles, they cover a broad spectrum of opinions, style and content, interrogating what it means to be Jewish in multiple ways.

Huge congratulations to the wonderful @taffyakner.bsky.social for hitting the Wingate Prize longlist!

The ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif make clear that to continue selling arms to Israel is to aid and abet war crimes. It is utterly indefensible. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

First post! @jrf-uk.bsky.social I've been thinking about how paid & unpaid care intertwine, and so how any future care system will rely on unpaid care. Very excited about new work we're funding from Emily Kenway deepening our understanding of how & why we can't design out unpaid care 👇
