In general, secondary school is when everything gets much, much more difficult for neurodivergent kids. This plan makes no sense!

This is the kind of niche content that I'm here for.

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising. IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar. Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

I read an ARC of this and really, really, really enjoyed it.

And huge celebrations in my house, because I just now finished writing draft 1 of Melting the Ice Queen! Huzzah!!! I'm not turning it in until the end of the week, so I'll have time to fix all the bracketed [fill this detail in later] moments beforehand - but today I am just celebrating. :)

If you have an opportunity to be kind to someone today, please take it.

Happy birthday to @authormsbev.bsky.social! I hope everything is delicious and marvelous on your new journey around the sun.

Excellent book. Buy it.

It's a drawing kind of day. This is Eva from Halloween Express at the Heritage Steam Railway. Which is my favourite of the three books. (I'm self publishing them later this year - sign up for my newsletter if you want to know more. Honestly, you'll know when I know).

‘Amazing!!!! This book was literally the best thing I’ve ever read.’ NetGalley reviewer. Can't ask for a better review than that! https://books2read.com/PPerfect

I did the thing! I emailed, cold, the author of a book I liked to tell them it was good, and to say thanks. Know what? That's a good idea. You were all correct. Everyone should do that.

I'm writing up a post about the importance of typography in book covers, which made me think of this. It still makes me laugh, every time I see it.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

Two analysts compete to crunch the numbers ahead of a merger, after which only one of them will have a job. Spreadsheeted Rivalry

I have edits to do. So far I've cleaned the loos, descaled the kettle, cleaned the trap in the dishwasher and put dishwasher cleaner through. Am now eyeing the tumble dryer filters... (Really need a sunny day for that though). I wonder if I have any oven cleaner...
