So far, I turned off my alarm, but my bladder woke me up anyway. I sprayed the wrong nasal spray up my nose, broke the nozzle off my expensive serum and splattered my moisturizer all over my room. Oh and I’m late for work. I should just go back to bed, right? #badday

There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve. #Storytime

Posting was halted as we went through security, but before that we were given NEW boarding passes. We’re all sitting together now. We weren’t before 🤔 Anyhoo… now the excitement is all about what time will we get on the 9:12. Yes, I know it’s 9:32. #Eurostar #Chaos #Day2

Now, I don’t want to jinx things, but the 9:12 line is moving closer to passport check. Kiddo is wondering if it’s OK for staff to say to customers: “break your face on the escalator or wait two minutes to find out if the lift is working. “ I think it’s ok, #Eurostar #Chaos #Day2

We’re upstairs. A kid downstairs who must be super empathetic started crying. There is a lot of stress among staff. Alternatively he could have been cold. It’s freezing. 🥶 #Eurostar #Chaos #Day2

Train is delayed, and there’s a woman who is losing her shit up ahead. She sounds like the woman who was losing her shit yesterday. In other developments we have been told to show our tickets (to nowhere). Feeling sorry for Eurostar staff today. #Eurostar #Chaos #day2

So it appears I’m back at Gare du Nord. All the 8:42 passengers have not boarded and 9:12 has been pushed to the side. #Eurostar #Chaos #Day2

So today has been fun. 5:50 am alarm, shower, feed cat, breakfast and we’re off for a few days in London… or are we. #Eurostar #shambles

Heard about this before… and I’m sure I could sleep like this.

Finally some good news Terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh thrown out www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

I cannot even begin to describe how disgusted I am with the current UK Government #FreePalestine #GenocideDeniers UK has ‘not concluded’ Israel carrying out genocide in Gaza, Lammy says www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The current U.K. government is such a disappointing shit show, and what this woman describes is tragic. Aaah!

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused. Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour. History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

Not gonna lie, I keep forgetting to post on here 🫣 Here’s the cover for my next book ☺️ it’s called “SUPER GOAT GIRL” and it’s written by the awesome Tracey Baptiste. It’s really cool and it’s out July 15th (US) and 17th (UK). Can’t wait for yous to see it. ☺️

Agree. I feel total despair looking at Izreal killing with impunity because they’re playing narcissistic political games. Who will ever stop them?

Is it alright if adults who act like kids participate too?

“She sheds boyfriends like snakes shed their skin,” he says. Debra pauses and sighs. Should she point out his double standards? Their daughter, sitting at the counter, lifts her head from her book. “I Talking of sheds, shouldn’t you go spend some time in yours.” #vss365 #prompt #shed

A shape has layers of being. Take a square, at first a mere quadrilateral with four sides. Later add corners, and four equal sides. Later still a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Whereas I am a squiggly line On the right side of the page. #vss365 #prompt #shape

Skipping through the just watered grass barefoot, she dances on the hot concrete, till she finds her abandoned flip flops and slips them on. Then she squints at her hand, her palm pink one side, her skin brown on the other. She is four. In this moment, she knows she is other. #vss365 #prompt #skin

I’ve been seeing these #Vss365 things recently. It took me a while to find out what it was and where to get the prompt (Septimus Brown until June 15), but it’s fun. Photos, poetry, six word stories, or micro-fiction. It’s all honing your writing craft, surprisingly fun and HARD.

This final is absolutely insane. #RolandGarros #FrenchOpen

“Where? How? Can we afford them?” My son lifts the left shoe first, a look of ecstasy stretched across his face. That one lay in the middle of the road like a sick joke: a single Nike Air Jordan Retro High. I found the second one, still on the owner’s foot. He didn’t need them anymore. #vss365

I want a picture of “Chunky”, proof of life and whatnot.

Very late on my May reads. Raced through Bloodmarked despite having almost pretty much forgotten what happened in Legendborn, but it was so good I didn’t even notice all the extra stuff until I was half way through. How to die famous really made me think about my lowkey obsession about 1/2

He sits, just so, between speaker one and speaker two; the sweet spot. Lost in the sound waves. The flute meanders, the drums beat, the cymbals clash. He opens his eyes, smiling at the stranger before him. “Did you like that Dad?” She asks. #vss365 #prompt #Speaker

To answer the question: I posted good news articles, about books and sewing, jokes, fluff. Anything to protect my mental health and sanity. I watched videos on insta saying: Never again means never again for everyone, and hearted them. Too little, too late www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well nanight all. I don’t actually care who wins, although I’ll be tickled if it’s #Finland or #Malta. Although Spain have already won by starting their broadcast by reminding us to speak up for human rights. #Eurovision

I’m calling it. Her dress will change #Albania #Eurovision

San Merino, because I have such a bad memory I’ll deffo remember bubblegum David and that weird mask. Otherwise this song is bloody awful. #Eurovision

#France 🇫🇷 take #Eurovision way too seriously. But seriously I hope she can get that sand out her hair.

Oh dear #Sweden, maybe the Fins did this in purpose so the proper Finnish entry could win. #Eurovision

I do t think everyone got the memo about mid song costume change. Hope Armenia aren’t penalised. #Eurovision

Giving me Claude vibes. #switzerland #Eurovision
