Never ever do this. Close the tab. The website has been compromised.

Where to find me over the next month in the lead-up to the release of THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS on July 7th, BUT early copies will be available at all these events! (I'm also doing @writeopolis.bsky.social on June 21st, but you can't get books there because it's on Discord)

Control of women's bodies dramatically increases alongside fascism, in case you were wondering why we're returning to a world of shaming women for being anything other than stick insects.

If you're in the Leeds area on the 18th June, 4pm, OK Comics is hosting an evening release for a new SF graphic novel, Gigs. This is an amazing story of people struggling against and resisting the powers that be of a near future state, about community, fellowship and small acts of kindness.

NHS England excluded 97% of studies on puberty blockers before concluding there was "insufficient evidence". When the evidence is ignored, we need to be louder 👇

There have been a lot of counter-racism protests in the UK that demonstrate just what a vocal minority the right are. Not sure if they’ll get the same breathless news coverage…

Suad's last chance to pay rent is TODAY. Please can you help her and Omar today?

One thing everyone can do to hurt the first trillionaire is to stop using the website he uses to foment violence and feel like an intellectual big shot. If you're not even willing to stop using a website that sucks to stick it to a Nazi, you're not willing to do anything. This is a low fucking bar.

Hey @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social

Tom has give you an order, and now you must obey. See you in Putney!

Ever wondered what colonisation looked like? It’s this. Take small action here: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/israelireale...

Come see a whole bunch of authors go full chaos mode!! Will they answer any of the questions? Will they stay on topic? How long before Sarah starts spinning in her chair again? Just how many special interest rabbit holes will we go down? CHAOS!!! Tinyurl.com/ChaosLeeds

If you're a fan of reading and based near Reading, or vice versa, you should absolutely come along

Vets advise ban on over the counter flea treatment for pets Basically, don't use these things unless advised to by a vet. They are toxic.

Hello, if you think my Doctor Who opinions are unhinged, wait until you read my books about traumatised queers saving the world (and each other). Happy Pride, babes! ravenswordpress.com

Read gay books written by a disabled queer author who absolutely hates AI and will not use it for a single fucking thing. shop.ravenswordpress.com

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

The BFS is excited to announce our next in-person Leeds event, Storytelling: Order Out of Chaos. Thur 9th July 2026, 7pm. Waterstones, Leeds. Ticket: tinyurl.com/ChaosLeeds @rjbarker.bsky.social @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social @rflong.bsky.social @thomasdlee.bsky.social @katiebruce.bsky.social

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

Anyone here know someone in Marvel’s IP protection team?

Today's the day! Magic, Maps, and Mischief is out on audiobook from Simon Maverick! Available everywhere you can get audiobooks :) Thanks for everyone's support in making this happen 🙏 🦉 Https://mybook.to/magicmapsandmischief

Thread.

I believe the total is over 100 now (including all 4 Plaid MPs). Important people keep pushing their representatives to reject this code. What we really need is new legislation.

Adding to this: Hormone fluctuations can severely worsen Long Covid/dysautonomia/POTs symptoms. Long Covid/dysautonomia/POTs can bring on early perimenopause and worsen the symptoms. Look up all three, do your research. HRT can help improve LC/POTs but it can't manage them.

An excellent time was had last night! Thank you so much to everyone who came along! There was an excellent discussion on defying genre norms, Yorkshire as a setting, the importance of self-publishing for queer stories, and if either author is ever going to give their characters a nice day!

Come and hear me talk about THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS at @srfantasyclub.bsky.social tomorrow evening from 6.30! Come and hear RJ talk about MORTEDANT'S PERIL! Throw things! It's important enrichment activity for authors!

UK friends and neighbours, please do this (it's very quick). People from otherwhere, please spread the word? (Unless you don't believe that trans rights are human rights, in which case of course please fuck ALL the way off into the sea, and then fuck off a bit more.)

Due to bluesky nonsense Soad has to get Liz to post for her. She's surviving just on this crowdfunder. Please chip in a little today. xxx

Tonight! 6pm! @portalbookshop.bsky.social York! Come talk queer books with @ravenswordpress.com and @bexbenjamin.bsky.social and the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social !! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bex-benjam...

Tonight! 8:30pm! Live in the Discord with @emmanewman.bsky.social! discord.gg/6gRzSt2TJ

And for UK people who enjoy music, this one closes sooner. Require all AI 'musicians' and songs to have a visible AI notice. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... Remember, while 'likes' are nice, reposts get these in front of more people. (Bluesky is not Twitter.)

The suffering in Gaza hasn't gone away. Can you help Soad and her son. Even a small amount means so much - the feeling of being forgotten and abandoned are part of what makes this all so hard for Soad xx

My son's world in gaza is vanishing into darkness. Every second we wait, his light fades a little more. We have one final chance to save his sight, but we can't do it alone. Please, don't let him go blind. Be the miracle he's praying for. Verified by : molly shah chuffed.org/project/1624...

UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

The situation in Gaza is cruel, but perhaps cruelest to those with disabilities and special needs.

This has been shared for my friend Heba, who has two young sons to care for. They are now on the street, the last of their possessions destroyed. They have no food, medicine or clean clothes, no means of storing water, and of course no shelter from hot days and chill nights. Can you help? #Gaza 🍉

It's tomorrow! We celebrate reading every day, but here's your chance to do it together while listening to some top class booky folk.

Soad is struggling every day and her son Omar's not getting enough to eat. Can you help with a small donation? xx

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Three days to go!!! Remember, tickets are free but you do need to book in advance www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bex-benjam...

Oh this one hurts 😔 I know what I'm watching this weekend youtu.be/Az5vcfwiDvw?...

To celebrate Pride Month, I’m reposting my booklist of LGTBQ graphic novels! 🌈 PS: when you order their books from bookshop dot org, some authors get a small kickback! Support indie bookstores and queer creators all in one! 🙌 bookshop.org/lists/lgbtq-...
