It me 😂

I'm running the Great North Run in September for @lewybodysociety.bsky.social with some @bigfinish.bsky.social writer chums. If you're able to sponsor me, that'd be lovely of you, but I also accept moral support and hectoring. ajbellgreatnorthrun2026.enthuse.com/pf/robert-ta...

The 20th birthday of @lewybodysociety.bsky.social seems a good day to say I'm running the Great North Run in September, with some @bigfinish.bsky.social chums, to raise money. I don't enjoy the actual running but a good cause is a good cause! ajbellgreatnorthrun2026.enthuse.com/pf/lisa-mcmu...

Genuinely smart, warm and funny books about the excruciating journey from childhood to adolescence. Perfect for anyone over the age of 8. Including adults. I LOVE these books.

Finally, the Uncertainty over how we will be able to live our daily lives in public according to the state is answered: We Can’t. We Shouldn’t. Fuck your government

Link here to a couple of excellent organisations actively fighting for trans rights.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I cannot overstate how completely insane this story is

Would be terrible if everyone started doing this...

Adendum: not all the people persecuted in Salem were women. Important to remember the men who were affected, too. This story goes out to all the victims of hysterical witchhunts, past and present, of all genders.

If you are looking for some alternative witch/wizard-related drama, the third episode of this is set during the Salem witch trials. You know - when some women were persecuted and scape-goated for just existing ... Luckily we've evolved over the past four hundred years ...

Yay! I got to write the Eleventh Doctor again! And again!

A form of dementia that hardly anyone has heard about. The brilliant @lewybodysociety.bsky.social are raising both awareness, and funds for research. I'll be running the Great North Run for them in September. Brace for agonised sweaty, running posts ...

Doctor Whoooooooo?

Red Dwarf always ahead of the curve.

yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a hand-saw.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Writers! This year @emergenceuk.bsky.social we're delighted to be offering 'Write Here Write Now', two small community writing retreats for anyone who wants to make time for themselves and their writing away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. emergence-uk.org/write-here-w...

This show was my first introduction to the glorious Rebecca Root. Feel-good joy if I remember rightly! Can't wait to rewatch.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Yes, yes, I know. They’ll get it all wrong without me. I suppose one more series won‘t kill anyone. Well, except… that would be telling ;) New era for the 12th Doctor kicks off in July 2026. Like what we did with 11? Then you’ll love this too.

Run Fast, Be Kind - a new series of adventures for the 12th Doctor @bigfinish.bsky.social @alfiejdshaw.bsky.social @lisabowerman.bsky.social @rochanapatel.bsky.social @lisamcmullin.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/12/12/n...

If you LOVED what @alfiejdshaw.bsky.social did with the Eleventh Doctor then I PROMISE you, HE'S DONE IT AGAIN with the Twelfth. These two sound SUPERB together! If you're looking for Doctor Who with emotions, humour, excitement and complexities, plus a GENIUS series arc, you will LOVE this.
