Any pals in London who fancy a laugh on Wednesday night? I'm in Not So New Comedian of the Year heats and have a couple of free tickets spare. Let me know!

It's been five years since we did our first sale! I'm so excited for this one too. I've worked on it the last three weeks so I hope you'll check it out :D Maybe grab my free book? Sale: indiebook.sale Get my book: books2read.com/AD2K4

I've blocked, so I can't tell who, but it looks like someone I follow reposted a book recommendation by a S e x m a t t e r s advocate. Just in case anyone saw me respond, that was me being slack and not looking properly at the poster. I'm here for my trans pals and always will be.

I do like my Kindle but I mainly use the Borrowbox on it. It's post the cull date for the models Bezos is binning, but he's already disabled the Goodreads app. Nothing has changed about ebooks, it's all just deliberate obsolescence bollocks.

Love the Flame Tree anthologies and this is a rather excellent one.

Our full line-up for the NEW WORLDS fantasy and sci-fi event will be out there soon, and can't wait to announce all the great talent joining us for the weekend this June! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-worlds... #scifi #fantasy #SF #writing #writers #authors #books #novels #onlineevent #onlineevents

Today I was going to London to do something cool, hang out with artists and eat olives, but can't now. Have to do work and clean the fridge instead. Boo to being a responsible lady today.

This is what seven consecutive appearances in Best of British SF (and two of Year’s Best Canadian F&SF) looks like! @wishusdonna.bsky.social @ourmankoto.bsky.social

NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why? Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia… 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Probably the worst haircut I've ever given myself, but it'll do.
