My prize from @isasaxonists.bsky.social's raffle for Dr Alasmar in Gaza (plus a couple of skeins I, uh, tripped and fell into buying) arrived from Republic Of Yarnia today! Terrible photo of STUNNING yarn

We condemn the University of Cambridge's attempt to place legal restrictions on all pro-Palestine protests. Alongside @pscupdates.bsky.social and @libertyhq.bsky.social we call out this application to the High Court for an injunction what it is: a shameful attack on basic democratic rights.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

No more US Worldcons while this policy is in place. It's probably too late for @seattlein2025.org , but @laworldcon.bsky.social should consider whether it's possible to move to an alternate location outside the US. Certainly going forward we shouldn't seat any more US Worldcons.

Currently reading @amalelmohtar.com's The River Has Roots and it is, naturally, breathtakingly beautiful and bittersweet... but also, bookshop events people down south, I have thoughts on the PERFECT chairs for events for this one in England!

When you’re willing to sanction Russia but not Israel, you demonstrate that there’s no morality, no ethics behind your movements, only the viciousness of American geopolitics.

No one even believes that opt-out is intended to work. It is just a convenient fig leaf that allows the thieves to pretend that they care while ignoring everyone’s opt-out requests.

What makes you look at the Scottish electorate and think "imitating the Tories who are imitating widely hated American fascists is definitely the way to go"

Very grateful for how well my novel SHIGIDI has done internationally and critically (9 award nominations and 1 win!) but sales in North America have been tepid. So if you're in North America and you enjoyed the book, kindly talk about it, get it for a friend, leave a review. It all helps. Thanks!

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

notable that transphobes couldn’t even get a dogwhistle motion passed at Scottish Labour’s last conference, but the leadership don’t give a shit what members think so they’ve u-turned without even bothering to ask

The Labour Party are the party of bigotry. Well, another party of bigotry. Their disgust towards trans people is unchecked and LGBT+ Labour are nowhere

Alongside the "for fuck's sake, you're richer than god, pay some copywriters" thing, the lack of care is fully jokerising me. Just..."our customers are dumb pigs who deserve slop. They're paying us, and they don't deserve human thought going into what they receive." I hate it so, so much.

I used to give away Pratchett books on the anniversary of his death, March 12th. I haven't done it in a few years. I'm bringing it back. I can send a potato to a politician on your behalf, or I can send you a Pratchett book on the 12th, your choice. To enter, list your fav Pratchett quote.

@jameslatimer.bsky.social has to point out to @theguardian.com that some of us have been writing epic fantasy while female for a while now. (@theguardian.com - there are more female epic fantasy writers called Anna S in the UK than female epic fantasy writers worldwide I think you've ever reviewed).

Waiting at Dublin airport to fly home, after a week on tour with the incredible Omar El Akkad. Touring has always been my favourite part of being a publicist - it’s a huge privilege to spend time with writers you admire, meeting readers and booksellers - but some tours also just hit differently. >
