beyondwriting.co/ai-writing-i.... I didn't write this, but I wish I had. Beautifully articulate frustration about the idea that AI can make writing 'more efficient' when efficiency has never been the point...

Lovely venue. Great Acts. Amazing cause. Would be fabulous to see you there.

A walking tour of my hometown. I know this is a weird thing to do, but so glad I did. Learned about Manchester and myself: vocal.media/wander/a-wal...

Boycotting AI like I boycotted South African fruit in the 1980s.

Okay, fellow struggling authors. Since a couple of you did this for me and it totally made my day, I'm going to pay it forward and buy five books from other small authors. Drop me a description or a link and I'll check it out, then in a week or so I'll buy five that interest me. #Booksky 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

This person thinks this is some “hot take”, but parents of special needs children know this is a pretty mainstream way of thinking about us. And they have no idea of the sheer hard work involved in getting a diagnosis, an EHCP or any services at all.

Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

It's been a while since I've posted any film reviews. I've been stuck in a vicious cycle of pretentious self-doubt. So, I've watched three foreign language films and written about them. Pretentious, moi? vocal.media/geeks/watchi...

Anyone want to buy a young craftsperson hand carved spoons The little ones make wonderful salt sprinklers. They are oiled with olive oil and very beautifully ergonomic

A chance to see me being funny in Manchester this evening - along with a bunch of top notch improvisers: wegottickets.com/event/692907...

Almost 10,000 authors have come together to publish an empty book protesting the theft of books by tech companies to train AI models. Titled Don’t Steal This Book, it is empty of text except the names of the authors involved.. 🧵

This looks good 👀https://wegottickets.com/event/692907

No, Shabana Mahmood, people seeing failing state support and crumbing infrastructure don't have either legitimate concerns or a legitimate grievance against immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers. They have a legitimate grievance against governments.

No cheating, your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

Please can the London centric media stop framing the Gorton and Denton by-election as a test of Starmer’s leadership. It is about Gorton and Denton - a deprived area of Greater Manchester being exploited by rich racists.

What a lovely home for my story, delighted to be in @templeinacity.bsky.social Thank you Eirene.
