Early birthday surprise

Stop calling your pets Marley, Loki and Luna, I'm begging you. Imagine what it's like when they get together. 'What's your name? No, way, same!'

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health. After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

What a beautiful print and what a great article written by Tom about his Mum Jo, the artist.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Realising that you’re autistic can bring such clarity. You can now make sense of your life. You finally have answers But it can also be disorienting and trigger feelings of grief. You spent your whole life misunderstood. Trying to be someone else It takes time to unpack all that. And that’s ok ❤️

Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?" Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country" Labour have gone utterly bonkers

Trans folk aren't killing people. Black history isn't killing people. Empathy isn't killing people. Feminism isn't killing people. Left wing YouTube isn't killing people. It's guns. It's literally guns.

For the first time on Bluesky, it’s the #Glastonbury origin story of how the Other Stage got its name. And no, it’s not because it is full of edgy, alternative bands.

Why is this myth of overdiagnosis of adhd and autism persist. The NSH has come out and said it's underdiagnosis for decades and better awareness. www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/re...

So rumours are that Boundless Publishing is on the verge of shutting down: after the CEO brought the collapsed Unbound (which they also were the CEO) and then found out that the non-payments to authors nullified all their contracts: leaving them with just owning a "damaged" brand.

A fantastic and very hot day watching the tennis on Wimbledon Centre Court today. Alcatraz/ Fognini match was an epic treat.

On my way home after seeing ‘In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats’ & as we took of our headsets the lady next to me was crying tears of pure joy. Incredible. Thank you @darrenemerson77.bsky.social @darrenemerson.bsky.social

It’s too hot. This is a phot taken at 10.40pm of our portable air con unit in the lounge
