Tried a different bread flour than usual and my dough is sat there not rising despite that being the only change. Hovis, you owe me some answers.

Reminder that watching so you can do your clever snarky screenshots is still watching.

Just pulled a tick off Hector. First one of the year 😬

The "aha, but what if I just pirate it? Then she won't get the money!" arguments are very tiring. Like, it's still gonna be a stain on your soul, dude.

If you still continue to consume Harry Potter media - especially the new HBO series - after everything about JK Rowling's bigotry is well reported, including how she uses monies from the Harry Potter IP to directly attack legal rights for trans people, then you are an active danger to minorities.

100 pages in and it’s brilliant! @ldlapinski.bsky.social

Today is Artezans day! I just skimmed the Last Spellbreakers ahead of reading it with my daughter and … so perfect 🥰 the only struggle now is whether she will consent to going to sleep at all tonight…

There's only one week left for schools to apply for a fully-funded author residency through Live Literature School Residencies! Please share this incredible opportunity before our deadline passes.

Gym bro showed me how to do Bulgarian split squats on the leg press yesterday which was great craic except now it’s this morning and i can’t walk

Happy… ish… to report that the Scottish biting midgie population seems as healthy as ever, given the state of the cars last April - October

A new poll shows the Scottish Greens ahead of Reform and Labour! This May, we can reject Westminster's hate and put hope back at the heart of Scotland. 💚On May 7th, #VoteScottishGreens

It’s ALCS day, which is a good reminder to add your new work to ALCS and PLR

love that chappell roan gets a giant shitstorm for apparently being rude, but men are allowed to roam the world freely while being in the epstein files

Just getting ready to head out for today's long run as part of my London Marathon fundraising for BookTrust. Setting a stretch goal of £2500, which really does make a difference, helping to get books to children and so much more. www.justgiving.com/page/helen-t... Thank you ❤️ #kidlituk

PSA: It’s the time of year to put a set of tweezers back in the car again

Forcing myself to stop drafting when I hit my word count target is, annoyingly, doing wonders for my mental health and also my back

Capitalist nightmares aside, conspiring to kidnap one of the fair folk does NOT seem like the sort of thing anyone should be encouraging

Happy #TransRightsReadathon Day!

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4

It’s just gone 2pm and I have JUST finished all the admin I had to do today. Time to write, I guess?

If he had actually listened to trans kids, he wouldn’t have taken away their healthcare btw, no trans young person went to that meeting and said “this medication that’s enabling me to be my authentic self? Ban it please”

I just finished the (fucking excellent) There is no Antimemetics Division and I need recs for more books in this vein immediately please and thank you

@ldlapinski.bsky.social not only was Artezans The Last Spellbreaker spotted in the Orcadian bookshop today but as I went in there was a person at the counter buying it 🤩👏🏻 #UKKidLit

Same. Any author mentioning HP is a block for me. If you don't know JKR is a toxic transphobe, you're not paying enough attention.

Go forth this dreich Saturday and obtain the books!

I enjoyed this readable and thought-provoking speculative fiction by @ldlapinski.bsky.social Abigail is a bot, a replacement wife for David. But as Emancipation approaches, she must find a new life for herself. Themes of gender, power, sexuality, human-ness. Gripping story. Recommend! #books 💙📚🪐
