Wrote a little bit about my horrible habit of abandoning books... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Now would be a great time to check out this BBC radio 4 series on the far right and racism in Britain by the amazing Camilla Schofield. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Today and for the whole of October! 99p for those who are running out of shelf space :)

Very glad to see my words in The Guardian today! Much less glad about the political developments that led to this piece. I was hoping we’d have a bit more time before the world of Who Wants to Live Forever becomes reality…😱 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Voting for the Society of Authors Management Committee elections is NOW OPEN until Wednesday 22 October! 🗳️ Here's some more info on the four amazing candidates Fossil Free Books organisers have decided to collectively endorse 👉

I’ve written a long read for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social about happened with Baillie Gifford, @fossilfreebooks.org and all the festivals. A lot of fake news circulated at the time so, whatever side you came down on, I’d be grateful if you read and shared it. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/writ...

The level of overt racism being experienced by friends and family especially outside of London is crazy. The UK is changing rapidly. Monkey noises, being kicked out of Airbnb's, racial slurs and a general hostility. People of colour have always had these experiences but it is ramping up.

I found one of Jordan Peterson’s books in the local little free library so I tore it in half and threw it in the recycling and I feel really good about it

!! Very exciting !! Six years of my brain for 99p? Absolute bargain, you’d be mad not to

Was so lovely to speak to @writelikeagrrrl.bsky.social founder Kerry Ryan for this!

I really do not want our speculative fiction re a war on Iran to turn out to be prophecy.

New report! The Aligned Organisation: A Brown Paper is aimed at those who work in a mission-driven or nonprofit context & want to 1) be more content & 2) make more impact. Excited to share what @hodabaraka.bsky.social & I have learned at @wealign.bsky.social ! www.wealign.net/blog/cw93n9t...

It's very rare that a book makes me cry, but the ending of Who Wants to Live Forever really got to me. Best book I've read so far this year. The world building is absolutely top-notch. It's a book about the monetisation of eternity and the people we take for granted while pursuing our ambitions.

🚨BREAKING: Activists have just turned the US Embassy pond red - because the US govt has BLOOD on its hands. The US is fuelling the unfolding genocide in Gaza - we need to STOP arming the Israeli government now.

Tried to find the words about The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman's almost-final role: a gorgeous film which carries an extra resonance today.

My main issue with a lot of people who revere the cyberpunk 'aesthetic' is that they love the cyber but ignore the punk.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Just realised I haven't posted these here yet! Here is my Substack post on why I wrote Who Wants to Live Forever #BookSky hannathomasuose.substack.com/p/why-i-wrot...

The team over at @ThePCCLondon has shared that the beloved independent cinema is at risk of closing. Here’s how you can help: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa... #SaveThePCC

Preparing for this week by reading a series of essays about how to ground ourselves during Trump 2.0. Here's a little thread, please add others! First up: 10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won by @daniel-hunter.bsky.social wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t... 1/4

Sooo thrilled to say that Who Wants to Live Forever is a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick with Sara Cox! This feels special since librarians select the titles for this book club - people who care primarily about finding a great read for their communities. I can’t wait to see my book on library shelves!

‘Gisèle Pelicot’s decision is astonishingly brave, not least because the culture she is condemning also produced the lawyers who have been questioning her and the journalists covering the case.’ Sophie Smith on patriarchy and the Pelicot trial: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Hard to overstate just how much of the tech industry’s horrifically dystopian present grew right out of its transparently misogynistic past

To an asshole, all virtue is "virtue signaling."

when I'm accused - as I often am - of boycotting/taking a stand for some sort of profit/kudos/careerism, I think about what an absolute killing I could make on the other side of absolutely any of these stances

Thank you to @celiasilvani.bsky.social for alerting me to this! Apparently Who Wants to Live Forever made the Daily Mail ‘ones to watch’ for 2025. Not what I thought I’d ever be in the Daily Mail for…

Trying to summarise five (five!!) years of Align - a strategic consultancy for progressive movements - in one big report, coming this Spring. Fuelled by many cups of tea and this almond jam thumbprint cookie - have really re-entered my baking era this winter

Hey folks👋🏾, just to say we’re still organising within the books industry and aren’t going anywhere. Help us shape the future of our collective action. Details below for our upcoming Strategy Day with links included!

Make time for #ChantelAkerman this year…

Day 1 of @jamiattenberg.bsky.social's #mini1000 and I only managed 545 words. But that is still way more than I would usually write in a day! It feels like huge progress, especially when I am only just getting back to an old project after more than a year away.
