So sick of AI chat and "productivity" discourse especially now, when we need art with teeth and claws and raw edges. So send me your weird little projects, your self-published odd books, your cool scuzzy zines, your quick and dirty games. I wanna see them all. Gimme 👇

Pathologically insulting that Spotify sends artists an ugly plaque when they hit 1 billion streams but does not send them any money.

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

Age 9: Flinging myself off the swings at high speed onto a concrete floor, bouncing up instantly and laughing, before bounding away like a gazelle. Age 52: Raising my eyebrows in a slightly more robust fashion than usual and fracturing my skull.

My friend served her cat a pancake this morning.

Any authors/artists feeling weird about doing self-promotion right now: I'm actually kind of begging you to bring some of your unique creation to my timeline. Not just as a distraction, but because art is a tool for building empathy--it's the way we learn to see the world through other eyes.

Unrelated but there’s one Sherlock story where he asks Watson to get the night train down from London and bring all his luggage for a long journey and Watson’s like “sure where are you” and Sherlock says “Lewisham” and it just sends me

My extremely elegant son. He's legit just sitting like this, staring blankly, like he forgot what he was doing. My sweet stupid son.

OOINYA could have sold the remaining Unbound copies of the books to me, in bulk, & no longer have had to pay for warehouse space. Instead, they have decided to sell them via Amazon, as new, interfering with my attempt to restart my career. Please do not buy these. Buy the new Swift press versions.

"Someone You Can Build a Nest In" is such a good book I've bought it three times - Kindle, Kobo, and this utterly gorgeous hardback edition. [I also enjoyed "Wearing the Lion" and am looking forward to "The Dragon Has Some Complaints", but "Nest" will always have a special place in my heart.]

Meet local Clacton celebrity Rodney. Full name, Rodney The Plonker. RODNEY THE PLONKER. I would vote for him as MP, go into battle for him (or on him), and sacrifice all my worldly goods and probably life. An honour to have crossed paths (I was looking for WiFi, he was having a puppachino).

If it ever seems like GenX and elder Millennials are obnoxiously loud about queerphobia and, specifically, trans rights, you have to remember we grew up in a society saturated by homophobia and decided "never again". This shame and hatred must not simply be redirected. It must end with us.
