I could use a piece of paper as a toilet and it would still be better writing than all the episodes of Chicago P.D. combined

Things I didn't know I needed: Sue Perkins' and Susan Wokoma's blossoming friendship on Taskmaster series 16

I’ve written to the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament about their transphobic toilet guidance with @goodlawroject.bsky.social. Join me and add your voice: action.goodlawproject.org/stop-scottis...

The amazing Sunstruck by William Rayfet Hunter is going to be released tomorrow! It's one of the best books I've read and I'll keep saying it - if it isn't a classic in 50+ years it'll be a damn shame. @netgalley.bsky.social My review is here: finnocallaghandoyle.squarespace.com/blog-1-1/sun...

Linea Maja Ernst's amazing Waist Deep is out now, translated by Sherilyn Nicolette Hellberg One of the most beautiful and relatable books I've ever read My review is up on my blog: finnocallaghandoyle.squarespace.com/blog-1-1/wai... #waistdeep #lineamajaernst #netgalley #review #jonathancape

People hating on Selena Gomez for no good reason will never not piss me off

Everyday is April fools when you're attracted to men

Officially rejected from every lit mag/press I submitted poetry/short stories to at the end of last year 😞 Hopefully one of the ones from Jan-now will say yes 😅

Seeing "acab includes teachers" being pushed by online leftists is not something I had on my bingo card.

Due to some technical issues my review of Anthony Shapland's amazing A Room Above A Shop is slightly later than planned but now up on my blog. finnocallaghandoyle.squarespace.com/blog-1-1/8r1... #netgalley #anthonyshapland #queerfiction #aroomaboveashop #granta #literaryfiction

My review of Paul McVeigh's I Hear You is now on my blog. It's my first review of an upcoming release so it's even more special. I Hear You by Paul McVeigh is a short story collection which will be published on 3rd March by @saltpublishing.com finnocallaghandoyle.squarespace.com/blog-1-1/9o1...

Can't say I was expecting that to be the start of my birthday week but finally home, less an appendix

Rewatching Mona Lisa's Revenge (The Sarah Jane Adventures episode) and Surrane Jones really put her whole chest into making Mona Lisa camp and Northern #doctorwho #sja #sarahjaneadventures #elisabethsladen #surannejones

End of Jan book haul only a week late (Bitter Crop was given to me by @canongate.co.uk as part of their Top Influencer Books of 2024)

There are few things that come across as more fake than the "thank you for giving us time with your piece, we really enjoyed reading it" in rejection letters, like just call me a slur and get it over with

Thank god for Outnumbered delivering an actually not terrible comeback

@jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social is an absolute legend and Look Up, Handsome is a must read for the festive season. I'll post a review soon but safe to say I loved it, it's every bit as gorgeous as Riccardo Bessa's cover.

Not me taking over from my dad as Grinch In my opinion: Doctor Who was meh (tho that's on Moffat as per - definitely not Ncuti) Wallace & Gromit was dull af Gavin & Stacey was crap (tho I'm not a fan of old people moaning they can't be bigots anymore, and "plots" of just old references)

Also thank god for Ncuti, Nicola and Steph de Whalley's (Anita) acting for making that worth it at all

Adding "wastes CGI money on a dinosaur for no reason" to Moffat's crappy writing bingo (see also Deep Breath)

Was just told my music taste was "basic and white" by one of the whitest, most cisgender queer men I've ever encountered 🤣

Gonna tell my kids these were the Spice Girls

Random quote of the day: If I have to pretend to be ill to not have to see a Nazi, I will - me, 01/12/2024

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

Quick review up on my website and Goodreads of @cjcooke.bsky.social 's novel The Ghost Woods #booksky #gothicnovel #mycology #goodreads #review finnocallaghandoyle.squarespace.com/blog-1-1/blo...

"we received an overwhelming response and on this occasion we regret to inform you we're not taking your application for the job further" "Thank you for trusting us with your work, unfortunately we won't be accepting your submission on this occasion" If I had a £ and all that

Concept: A Master who sings (in the vein of Simm and Gomez) It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back) by Eurythmics to the Doctor. Like full camp, no heterosexuality in sight. Oh, and seductively of course. #doctorwho #themaster #annielennox #eurythmics #camp #gay

Anyway Bronski Beat and the Communards were always better than Culture Club, I'm sorry, but it's a fact. Jimmy "LGB Alliance are anti-trans and I wouldn't let [them] use my music" Somerville will always be more iconic than Boy "leave your pronouns at the door" George (who held a man hostage btw)

Also the whole "Starmer will arrest you for saying the wrong thing on Facebook" mob (my dad included) have clearly never reported anything on Facebook or Snapchat. When I try to report ads and posts that are insanely racist/transphobic all I get is, "it doesn't go against Community Standards"

Without fail every few months I have a period where a specific Fleetwood Mac song from Mirage is incredibly relatable to me and that is... not as fun as it sounds

Happy Eevee Day! Quote with your favourite Eeveelution! I mean was there ever gonna be another answer?

Tesco please I'm begging you Daniel by Elton John is the last thing I need rn

Midnight thoughts: why don't you change your entire plan for next year because your home county is draining the life from you? Me: and I make this decision how exactly?!

why r u not in my dms telling me im gorgeous and perfect and funny

And one claiming that abortion was a "plague" killing thousands of Israeli children from a group that looked super cult-y (like Israeli Mormons or something)

90% of the ads I've had recently on Facebook (which I don't use much but use to keep up with the book club I go to) have been pro-Israel/IDF (often featuring soldiers and saying "help those on the front line") and if you need any more reason to hate Meta

it’s been quite a year
