I ordered a book recently and it arrived with this photo inside the cover. Don't know why it was in the book or who put it there. Should I be concerned #BookSky?

For my Burns Notice newsletter, I wrote about what it was like being a trans person and see the entire right wing try to incite pogrom on us over the last several weeks. burns-notice.ghost.io/what-am-i-su...

Enjoying it so far, but if you're gonna read this book, be prepared to read the word "sigil" an awful lot #Reading 📚🪐

Kind of tempted to make a Tiktok parody account based on Audra Winter. I feel like there's so much potential for satire to be mined there. I still have my old comics I did when I was at school buried somewhere... Definitely thought they were genius at the time

Reorganising my bookshelves so my #DoctorWho NSAs are now all in the correct order

As a cishet white guy I kind of figured I'd be one of the last to be directly affected by the rise of fascism, but as an autistic person I feel like I should be worried now.

Found pristine new copies of two of my favourite books in the charity shop today. About time I replaced the dog-eared copies I've had since I was at school #BookSky 📚🪐

💜💙💗 Happy Bisexual Visibility Day! 💜💙💗 💜 Today and every day, we celebrate the radiant spectrum of bisexual identities, honouring especially our trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming bisexual siblings who shine with resilience and pride.

It was about this time last year – as autumn was setting in – that the brilliant Steve Cole and I set about writing our ‘1001 Nights in Time and Space.’ We knew it was to be a special Treasury of Doctor Who stories: a tapestry of retellings of our favourite tales from unusual or rare perspectives.

ON THIS DAY... 22 years ago, Davros by Lance Parkin was first released by Big Finish Productions. Cover by: Clayton Hickman. #DoctorWho #BigFinish

Rejecting the false narrative that frames trans people as a threat to women NION Women are a collective of cisgender women refusing to let their identity be weaponised to justify discrimination against trans people, and they’re calling on women everywhere to join them.

It feels long overdue for the best Doctor Who companion to come back. @bigfinish.bsky.social "ALL HAIL THE BIG TALKING BIRD!"

So I'm gonna do a ranking of the 9th Doctor novels now that I've just finished re-reading The Monsters Inside. Note that I'm not including Only Human by Gareth Roberts because I've not read it and have no intention to do so #DoctorWho #BookSky 📚🪐

I'll be signing these new books - and anything else you care to buy or bring - on Saturday, 2pm, at Waterstones in Stockport.

My current read is Arkspire by Jamie Littler. I picked this up quite spontaneously from the charity shop and was sold just from the cover illustrations alone #BookSky 📚🪐

ON THIS DAY... 43 years ago, the novelisation of Full Circle by Andrew Smith was first published by Target Books. Cover art by Andrew Skilleter. #DoctorWho

The Monsters Inside might be one of the most ambitious of the NSAs, and also the most grim #DoctorWho #BookSky 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

It’s not just the disgusting misinformation the UK mainstream media spew about trans people, it’s also about what they DON’T talk about! 100K people attend London Trans Pride and it’s *crickets* 100K people attend a Tommy Robinson hate rally and it’s all over the front pages! 😖 It’s blatant bias!

ON THIS DAY... 37 years ago, the novelisation of The Ultimate Foe by Pip and Jane Baker was released by Target Books. Cover art by Alister Pearson. #DoctorWho

I feel like whenever people talk about separating art from the artist, they do so in a very simplified binary way, like you either can or you can't, when really there are multiple layers to it. There's more than one way of separating art from the artist.

Great to join with 100’s of lesbians and inclusive allies in Leeds today for the Leeds Dyke March 💪🏻🩷 Despite the rain the sense of community and trans solidarity was out in force ✊🏻🏳️‍⚧️ In contrast, the transphobic ‘Lesbian Strength March’ had such a pitiful turnout (30ish) they didn’t even march!

The U.K. mainstream media is absolutely complicit in fomenting and promoting HATE! They absolutely IGNORE inclusion and solidarity while they PROMOTE divisive conflict, racism, transphobia and violence! 😖 The BBC, GB News, The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, all of them are complicit!

As I'm reading The Monsters Inside, I rewatched Father's Day and The Empty Child to get myself into the feel of the era, and it's reminding me just how good #DoctorWho once was. Yes, there are still really strong individual stories, but the way series 1 ties together as whole is something else

Today's arrival. Should I read this now or wait until Halloween? Who am I kidding? No way am I waiting a month to read some Paul Magrs and Dracula goodness.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Recommend this video by another feminist sticking up for trans rights. It's almost like women's rights and gender critical ideology are not one and the same thing like mainstream media would have you believe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfYs...

Anti-trans rhetoric doesn’t protect women. It causes harm. It masquerades as feminism while stripping away solidarity and compassion. Real feminism is about justice and equality for all women, including trans women. #NIONWomen #NotInOurName #HumanRights #WomensRights #TransRights #JoinUs

🚨The BRAND NEW 13th Doctor audio adventure THE RETURN OF THE DOCTOR is out now from @bigfinish.bsky.social We've listened and will be reviewing it shortly. But what do YOU think of it? Let us know right here and we'll feature the best comments in our upcoming podcast 👇

Terror Firma by: Joseph Lidster: I love this one to pieces. It’s perfect as the ending for everything the series was doing with the Daleks since the 1970s and a perfect ending for the character of Davros, yet it’s an ending that is impossible. So much of it is a mission statement for who the

Someone on the Goodreads page for this book pointed out that the 11th Doctor never uttered a single word onscreen written by a woman. That's absolutely insane

Fear Death By Water by Emily Cook is an excellent #DoctorWho adventure, a different kind of celebrity historical. It left me thinking about fame as an ouroboros, and using history and genealogy to rewrite generational trauma. It also has a reference which brought a smile to this old timelashologist…

#Reading The Monsters Inside for #DoctorWho Book Club @andwbcpodcast.bsky.social, right from the opening scene this story is a bit grim. I'd also forgotten it is meant to be Rose's first time on an alien planet 📚🪐

Another extended wanging-on about old Doctor Who books, this time Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons by Terrance Dicks, featuring flowing honey, chameleons and repair shops. 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/09/doct...

I always enjoy it when books are a little bit self-aware in a self-deprecating way and not taking themselves too seriously, which is definitely the case with this one #DoctorWho 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

JR Life, The Universe And Everything (read it to my son). Not read this for 35 years and was amazed by how little I remembered. Some of it was completely unfamiliar. And was also a bit surprised by how, well, poorly written some of it is. The Bistromatics bit goes on long after the joke has died.

Sometimes it's nice with the NSAs how quickly you can just breeze through them. Got through this pretty much in one weekend, while on the train to and from London #Reading #DoctorWho

So having just completed reading/re-reading all 9 (soon to be 10) #MortalEngines books, I'm gonna do a quickfire ranking and thoughts for each. I wanna preface this by saying I like all of these books A LOT. I have rated all but one of them 5 stars #BookSky #Reading 📚🪐

Scrivener's Moon contains some of the very best of Philip Reeve's wit and social satire. Unfortunately it also contains an anticlimactic queerbait romance subplot and completely retcons the personality of another of the main protagonists #BookSky 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

In my case it is pretty easy to answer that question, or at least it's easy to pick my favourite series #BookSky #reading

I like the contrast in this photo between the tatty old editions of books I've had since school and the gleaming new copies of Night Flights and Thunder City

Are we gonna talk about how Charley Shallow's character basically gets a complete retcon in this book? Reading the trilogy all in one go I really felt the whiplash #BookSky 📚🪐

And with that I have now finished reading/re-reading all 9 (and hopefully counting) of the Mortal Engines books #BookSky 📚🪐
