Lovely to see my old boss Brian & his gang of mates the other night. I mean, look, if the combined might of Conley, Walsh, Pasquale and Richie can't bully you into buying my book, then I don't know what to say... www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-You-Ma... #brianconley #joepasquale #bradleywalsh #shanerichie

Posted this here and on threads. Here, it got pretty much nothing. On threads it blew up pretty huge. Conclusion: People on threads are angrier than people on bluesky. Not sure what to do with that data.

Lovely time doing my thing in London last night. Packed house, great crowd, what's not to like? #cabaret

Having a crappy mental health week, but in a happy place.

6 other things you can do with my book aside from reading it! (But I'd love you to read it too...) #childrensbook #kidlit #writer #juggler #juggling #circus #magic #yoyo #illusion www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB57...

My friend @matricardo.bsky.social is crazy talented, and also a really good guy whose work you should support because these are weird times and supporting the arts and creativity is always a good idea but kinda mostly now? #BookSky

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social Looking forward to coming to see you Thursday! I wonder if there's any chance in getting a pic of you with my debut book - it's about kids learning to do amazing tricks & at the same time learning empathy, kindness & empowerment That's me in the gif. genuinely.

99% of the comments I get for (mostly) my autism videos are so positive and friendly and really make me feel part of a community The other 1% though. Hoo boy angry ignorant American men really love to be angry ignorant American men, don't they? This is why I only check my comments every few weeks

Made a stupid video about what else you can do with my book aside from reading it. I COMMAND YOU TO WATCH IT. #kidlit #childrensbook #juggling #magic #tricks #funny #writer www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB57...

I always think that whenever a tech idiot like Sergey Brin says something like "we might exist within a stack of simulations", as he has done this week, it's just a way for his brain to process the immense harm he is doing to the planet, by thinking "yeah, but it's probably not real, so its fine"

This week in YOUTUBE COMMENTS FROM GRUMPY MEN THAT I DELETED: "Neurodivergence is pseudoscience RFK is going to cure autism also autism doesn't exist" "I hate you because you are a busker & buskers are selfish because I have to hear them" "You paint your nails so I can't listen to what you say"

Guess who scored tickets to go see Patton Oswalt in London this week?

Polite reminder that I have a monthly newsletter. The current issue talks about that time I did a show with Graham Linehan, along with explaining why this magazine cover is so important to my life. Would love you to subscribe at matricardo.substack.com/about #writer #substack #showgirl #glinner

Picked up last month in a flea market in Amsterdam. I WANT TO GO TO THERE. #lasvegas #showgirls #cabaret #vintage #retro

Great to see that noted super-genius RFK jr has recommended chelation therapy for autism - a therapy that has no effect on autism whatsoever and also <checks notes> CAN KILL PEOPLE.

Came up with a really good local gag involving Nottingham tonight, and luckily realised at the last minute that I'm in Northampton.

Woo! Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it

Sure Graham Norton, please make more nasty jokes about women's ages. People love that. #eurovision

You know how they just said "this features strobing effects"? Speaking as an epileptic, maybe just *don't* have lighting that could kill people? #eurovision

We have both kinds of deep fried cheese snacks (nacho bites & jalapeno poppers), and pizza, which we will choose to believe is healthier because of the word stonebaked

I mean, if i turned up on stage tonight and said "Look, you people really shouldn't be looking to me for entertainment", I'd be sacked and ridiculed, right? #rfk

So if the head of health and human services says that people shouldn't listen to him when he talks about health - as RFK has said - then that's plain admittance that he literally can't do his job, and grounds for removal?

Arrrggh! People are starting to post preview reviews! So happy that people seem to be really loving the book 😍 Preorder it wherever you get your books, or at www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-You-Ma... #kidlit #writer #childrensbooks #kidsbooks #magic

I mean,so, that plane is going to be just bursting at the seams with surveillance tech, right?

I REALLY do not want to have to do a video or a piece of writing about that fucking Telepathy Tapes bullshit. Oh, wait, I'm autistic, so i can just use my magic to beam it into your heads instead, right? Fucksake

Amazons "people who bought your book also bought this" feature really showing that my autistic homies are coming through for me 😍 #actuallyautistic #autistic #writer #kidlit www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-You-Ma...

Getting notifications that reviewers and internet book people have received my book and are about to read it, is, as Emma Kennedy would say, A SHARP THRILL
