My occasional reminder (but first on BlueSky) that trans and non-binary folk are more than welcome in my books and in my life. I meet so many of you at events, you gorgeous things, and in these terrible transphobic times, you’ve got a friend here. ❤️❤️

If you go into the backstory you find that Everest was actually given a starter 500m by its parents.

Probably unpopular opinion. Media is calling Fantastic Four trailer vs. Superman trailer the war and making a big fuss. I will likely love BOTH of those movies, but NGL... the one I'm looking forward to is Thunderbolts.

There’s an Amazon picket line, so don’t cross it. Buy books from Libro.fm or bookshop.org instead and support your local indies!! (Maybe even try out an enemies to lovers rom com written by yours truly idk idk)

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

PSA: Waterstones members… there’s double points this weekend (x3 if you spend £100+) if you buy pre-orders then you don’t actually pay until the book is dispatched. Every year I buy a load over this weekend and then all the following year I get random book post that I’d completely forgotten about 😂

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

I am begging people to add some nuance when they talk about AI. AI is a huge field filled with actual groundbreaking things like programs that detect cancer. Saying "I hate AI" when you mean you hate generative AI is as inaccurate as saying "I hate animals" when you mean you hate mosquitoes.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy
