I’ve got a new position! It is called ‘fetal’ and I’ll be here for a while.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

'25 Peppercorns' is out now with @mythaxis.bsky.social. This has been a particularly difficult story for me to publish, both personally and in finding a good home for it. It is deeply personal, but it's also political. mythaxis.co.uk/issue-43/25-... 1/...

Off the back of an attack on a synagogue, where the police killed more people than the attacker did, and after a protest that where people said something that hurt absolutely no one, we will lose even more of our right to a voice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mr Kitten has gone to the catnip field in the sky. He should be remembered as the grumpiest, roundest, gassiest, snoriest, clawiest, most ridiculous old man. We loved him dearly.

A story @phokion.bsky.social & I co-wrote is in Grimdark! You should read it. But also, it’s only part one. So that’s fun.

The joys of research: grant application fail. So, anyway, I have ~25hrs/wk of brain available to rent.

Ooooh, holiday gifts sorted and we’re not even done complaining that it’s not yet halloween! www.atthisarts.com/product/cale...

Oof! The story tells the difficulties of intergenerational trauma so well. Beautifully written by @slashnburnett.bsky.social Read it in @mythaxis.bsky.social mythaxis.co.uk/issue-43/25-... #shortstory #speculative #specfic

If you’re feeling well-adjusted in the current climate, I think it’s something you should discuss with your therapist.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Notes on aging: It sucks. And then some.

The fact that we’re all raging about seams on socks gives me hope for the future.

Anyone else find it slightly concerning that UK govt decides to rush in digital ID cards a week after talks with Palentir at Windsor Castle?

I know things are hard right now. But just hold on, because soon we’re going to lose an hour of sunlight every day and it’ll all seem so much worse.

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING! Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire. “The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”

Go on, do some support. Two really cool projects that need some love and a few quid.

Need 11 backers to reach 100. Thanks to everyone who has given my little Who Framed Roger Rabbit X Michael Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union a shot. Writing is not a solo endeavor. It takes a community of beta readers, editors, artists, and readers. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

You’re not in traffic. You are the traffic.

48 hours left and this Kickstarter still has $1800 to go! If you've got a few bucks to chip in, help bring this delightfully funny Jewish noir to the world! Fighting demons with super soakers full of Manichewitz wine. What more do you need to know?

BOOSTING! C'mon, we can do this. I have seen projects fund overnight. Why can't these?! Do it, people.

A gentle, platonic love story involving a caregiver, their person, and some unauthorised fun. In @mythaxis.bsky.social #scifi #love mythaxis.co.uk/issue-39/wit...

$1381 more to go Four days. We can do this. In a world that is increasingly fractured, translations and bridging of worlds are needed connections.

If we use troubled pasts as set pieces for current entertainment, what are troubled futures?
