I named my world "Planaterra", based on the Latin meaning "Flat Earth". No, I don't believe in that; one of my lecturers had been talking about a documentary about that movement, and they had some worldbuilding elements to steal. I've largely got country names from Fantasy Name Generators.

I saw this Schoolhouse Rock parody a while back. It's from 2006 but still feels nonetheless relevant today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQBW...

#ComJunity If he get his hands on a wild pig, Kestrel might smoke it over a boucan. His cooking is getting better. His last meal gave him and Scar the trots for only one day.

Explain your @ "Skeffington Liquorish" was a name I saw on a headstone. I adopted it as my pen name for poetry, specifically so I could call my poetry blog "Liquorish All Sorts". Because like the confectionary, I'm sweet on the outside, bitter on the inside, and something of an acquired taste.

#ComJunity Kestrel's the talker. Scar looks tough, acting like dumb muscle while discreetly assessing the situation.

#ComJunity Both Kestrel and Scar are reasonably book-smart and street-smart. Scar's definitely the one with more common sense, keeping the impulsive Kestrel in check.

#PretendPanel I'd love to see Kestrel and Scar's adventures adapted to TV, since there's plenty of action and dialogue. I'd also love to see Misadventures in Planaterra as a TV show. In fact, I originally conceived as a sitcom.

I think Kestrel and Scar have amassed quite the rap sheet. Piracy, theft, smuggling, affray, property damage, murder, impersonating military personnel, impersonating clergy...

#ComJunity My second book, "The Pirate King", ended up being published on the same day as the Queen of England's funeral. Hey, I'd already announced a Talk Like a Pirate Day release when she was still alive. I saw no reason to change my plans.

This is literally me trying to get job websites to show local roles: www.youtube.com/watch?v=COyt...

Update: The e-book versions of "Gentlemen of Fortune", "The Pirate King", and "The Homecoming" are now available on Itch.io in pdf and epub format.

Once again, job websites are being a pain in the arse: - Searching for local roles yields results that are anything but - Roles being listed as "part time" that are actually full time Fuck capitalism.

Israel is the AI of countries. It’s not real, it causes a shit load of problems, it steals and burns the world to further itself, people don’t see it for the threat it really is and all the dumb ass elites in the business love it

Why is it that most job websites always seem to advertise roles that are two or more towns over?

Peacefully protested today in Rockland, Maine. Tons of people turned out. Loved seeing the signs. This one was probably my favorite. #NoKings

I know that #NoKings sounds hypocritical coming from an Englishman, but hey...this Englishman published a book on the day of the Queen's funeral. No fucking kings.
