JUST GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE CREATIVE WRITING MA🎉🎉🎉 this means more to me than graduating did lol

"Without the humanities, all we have are the inhumanities." - Alan Moore.

just watched fantastic 4 dreadful script, probably because i dont care about babies. film looked gorgeous tbf go watch superman instead

I am a very lucky man

just watched the new War of the Worlds on amazon prime jesus that was shit. the editing gave me a migraine on top of it being for an ad for amazon and calling for a surveillance state stronger than is already in place. potentially worst film ive seen this decade

just finished this. i assumed it was all hype and pretension but it truly was one of the best things i’ve ever had to privilege to read

graduated today 🎉

My Ham Fam ❤️

“I am the law! … erm that sounded better in my head”

Ten Writers by whom I’ve read more than five books: Alan Moore George RR Martin Grant Morrison Paul Magrs Lawrence Miles Brandon Sanderson Ben Aaronovitch Steven Erikson Stephen King Joe Abercrombie god i need to expand my scope

todays reading sorted

Listening to @docoho44.bsky.social's chat about The English Way of Death. Easily my least favourite of Roberts' four MAs, & the only one I wouldn't have in my top 10, so very interesting listening to him & @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social talk about it; maybe now I'm older I'd appreciate the charm more?

graduating with a 2:1 YES!! considering 3 years ago i was about to drop out of uni after perhaps the worst year of my life so far i’ve done pretty well for myself i reckon

illegal gambling

i have this awful habit of avoiding books that are highly acclaimed. so ‘the booker of all bookers’ made me roll my eyes thinking ‘this is gonna be pretentious rubbish’ boy was i wrong! i absolutely love the ‘never let the truth get in the way of a good story’ attitude that magical realism adopts.

i read The Player of Games last week and am almost done with Consider Phlebas and may have got overexcited about how much i enjoyed those two Culture books…

Even if you don't want to hear them talk about the book, the last 30mins is gold.

The most popular Doctor Who of all time? 10 comes under the microscope and we determine the best (or at least our favourite) 10th Doctor story! Allonsy! @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @tobyhadoke.bsky.social @michaelmills.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Last day before I go home after finishing my degree and there’s this strange hollowness thats overcome me. “Is that it?” I keep asking myself. Its like the last four years have been an incredibly long dream and im about to step back into the real world. Well… until I come back for my MA that is.

Patreon Early Release - Strictly Come Hamster - 10th Doctor Special (featuring @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @michaelmills.bsky.social @tobyhadoke.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social) 10 comes under the microscope and we determine the best 10th Doctor story! www.patreon.com/posts/strict...

now that ive finally wrapped up my degree i have a week in which im free to do nothing but sit inside and read like a hermit first up on the list is to finish this fantastic novel

Seeing Reality War get a lot of flak for Belinda being “forced” to have Poppy as her daughter at the end, but I’m sorry - the woman in this scene & who later locks herself in a box for eternity with Poppy is not being forced at all.

After the superb Interstellar Song Contest this last season, I picked up Juno Dawson’s thirteenth doctor novel. Super excited to dig into this today!

Sadly this Ireland Eurovision entry isn’t canon as it contradicts the events in Lawrence Miles’s Alien Bodies.

Strictly David Tennant Tenth Doctor special Incoming! We need your comments on the actor in the role and the character created! We will be deciding the ultimate 10th Doctor Strictly story! @tobyhadoke.bsky.social @michaelmills.bsky.social @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social

Currently blitzing through @lanceparkin.bsky.social FANTASTIC novel Trading Futures, not heard anything whatsoever about this one before picking it up in my EDA-athon but this is a definite highlight. Rarely do i blitz through a book as fast as i did this one😁

We face giant wasps, shadows, the Midnight monster, alternative realities and Davros threatening the destruction of REALITY ITSELF! @felixfrazer.bsky.social @thepolisbox.bsky.social @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Super fun. I love hearing @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social's takes on 70s Doctor Who. Extra kudos for whatever that super-dramatic action music was at the beginning! 🤣

A podcast as lively, as smart, as silly, as scattershot and as barking as the book they are talking about! Allow me to introduce @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social from Patreon as he embarks on a Paul Magrs classic... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Recording next week with the impossibly awesome team of @thepolisbox.bsky.social @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @felixfrazer.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social - get your comments in if you haven’t already as we discuss and try and find the best episode in series 4B!

Letting Americans write British characters continues to be a bad idea

If you're UK based and haven't signed this yet, now is a good time to do it. Will it make a difference? Maybe not, but it shows that people are willing to defend the right to bodily autonomy.

Started James Robinson’s run on Starman today in this ludicrously heavy compendium and WOW. The art by Tony Harris is also just incredible. love the way it handles nostalgia and the idea appreciating yesterday more than tomorrow. Brilliant stuff! #dccomics #starman #comics

Series 4a comes into the spotlight for Strictly Come Hamster! We’d love to hear your (half) series overview and individual story thoughts - Partners in Crime to The Docror’s Daughter! @felixfrazer.bsky.social @danielrawnsley.bsky.social @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social @thepolisbox.bsky.social

Batman Universe #5, art by Nick Derington, colours by Dave Stewart. #Batman #comics

someone on the eda discord server made this and truly its the mindset i bring to be as annoying as possible to continuity-minded fans

New year, new Who - and new companion! 💚 We'll soon be recording our next episode with the lovely @docoho44.bsky.social on @paulcornell.bsky.social's 2nd outing, Love & War - featuring the debut of Professor Bernice Summerfield! 🌠 What are your thoughts on the novel? 🤔

Enemies Of Doctor Who - The Haemovores #doctorwho #enemiesofdoctorwho #jigsaws

I'm at the point where I should probably assume that anyone in the intersection between "popular creator whose stuff I really like" and "straight white man" is going to be an abuser. Not that people outside that venn diagram are off the hook, obviously, but it just keeps on happening.

started reading Grant Morrison’s run on Animal Man today and these panels really jumped out at me. thought i ought to share em with you lovely people
