Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Oh no! A leaf has fallen on Steve! Somebody PLEASE HELP!!

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore." Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found. www.the-reframe.com/apologies-fo...

I got King Sorrow by @joe-hill.bsky.social with my book token for xmas. It is a TOME! Was concerned I wouldn't make it through but it's a rip roaring tale. I haven't read anything with this many pages since 'It' by a little author called @stephenking.bsky.social

You know when you develop a book idea but then when you research into it the whole plot just falls apart like a house of cards. Yeah, I hate that. #writing

RIP Rob Reiner.

@joeheller.bsky.social Happy 100th Birthday Dick Van Dyke 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

I am enjoying it btw. I've worked in the civil service so I get it. #thewarbetweenthelandandthesea

Not to nitpic or anything, but couldn't they have just met on a beach rather than build a huge tunnel from the Thames to that embassy place? I mean... #thewarbetweenthelandandthesea

Yup!

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go

At this point just let them open the ark.

Finished first draft of Brighter Than The Moon today. It's a lot shorter than I expected but I can add to it no problem. I'm sure Fox the Stole can get up to more mischief. Now onto the final edits of The Ruby Queen! #writing

I wrote two chapters of my WIP so I am quite pleased with myself. Did I put an alligator in ballgown. Why yes, yes I did. #writing

THE WORKS OF VERMIN OUT NOW! "A brilliant, shapeshifting puzzle-box of a book" - Christopher Buehlman "A hallucinatory scorpion sting" - Elizabeth Bear "My dreams were plagued with anxiety and fear of toxins... Thanks for that." - My barber Get your copy from your local bookstore!

Ooh is that a Christmas present I see - me to my husband with my phone in his eyeline.

A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

I saw Event Horizon in the cinema. Sir Sam Neil has always been a fav even if he was a little naughty in the movie. Forgot how hard the ending kicks. Great use of The Prodigy.

Currently reading The Works Of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social and I'm honestly blown away. It's absolutely amazing. Every sentence is poetry. Just a glorious read.

Remember this November and always, Labour , Tories and Reform work for their Lobbyists not the people. Their politics is about the greed of others and profit ,not about public service or protecting our country from corruption and malice. They don't govern in national interest. We must break them.

Good article from @jasonsanford.bsky.social here on this kind of thing. jasonsanford.substack.com/p/genre-grap...

If you were ever wondering what we're up against, this is a website book banners created to train people to get books banned in their own communities. I found my kids' school in here, and the books this website suggests I get banned from their library. www.takebacktheclassroom.com/school-detai...

I feel the same this morning.

Saturation Point by @aptshadow.bsky.social in my local library? Don't threaten me with a good time XD

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Proposition: You become a writer the moment you write, a musician the moment you make music, a painter the moment you paint, etc. You become an artist the moment you find your own voice as a writer/musician/painter/etc. Yes? No?

25th wedding anniversary off to a good start

I reserved a whole lot of books thinking they would come along on stages. Nope, all in the library today. A whole lotta reading going on!

Here is an otter snoot to help you through the day.

It’s Wolf Awareness Week! 🐺 Once roaming across most of the world, wolves were hunted to near extinction out of fear and myth — not danger. Those fears still linger, and wolves are still killed needlessly today. Speak up for coexistence, respect, and understanding. 🌎💛 #WolfAwarenessWeek #CWWC

There's a superb anthology here that's very close to funding. www.kickstarter.com/projects/191...

It's my birthday. My eldest said that at this age (53) I lose my 'get up and go'. Welp, I guess I should just stay in bed and get fed by tube. #birthday
