Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

Starmer should now say the truth; the world has profoundly changed, we cannot rely on the US anymore, and we should rejoin the EU. Negotiate re-entry with the EU soon, and then put those terms to a referendum. He'd win.

I am extremely annoyed by The Guardian claiming 'Romantasy has reclaimed the geeky fantasy dominion for women, celebrating female friendship, agency and sexuality'. This skewed view stems from the ongoing erasure of women writers in SF&F through fewer reviews, omission from 'Best of' lists etc etc

'We all love a good murder story, and the chronicles of the Anglo-Saxon era are full of them! Annie will talk about her new book, Murder in Anglo-Saxon England, whether all the stories are true, and will discuss the cruel treatment of the family of King Dunmail of Cumbria.'

Tariff du jour is on STEEL... worldwide. Steel is not something people just "give up" like its Lent, so products made of steel will go up. But steel will still be purchased from Canada & Europe. Americans will now pay more & Trump will pocket the tariffs for his war chest. youtu.be/fz2O9IlCwLk?...

Thing that struck me in Queer is just how craggy Daniel Craig has got (exaggerated by makeup) but then you remember he wasn't conventionally handsome Bond, he was rough hewn granite that you wouldn't blink twice about seeing as a bouncer or muscle.

The Oxford Mail - itself part of the car lobby - ran out of space for my final sentence: ‘The car lobby is short-sighted, unambitious, and out of touch. Ask the businesses which are flourishing.’

Goodnight from Jo Marr, puzzling on what the safe dose of hallucinogenic water lilly powder known as Mary’s Blessing might be. Goodnight from the lock-in at The Woebegone pub, where Fred Rix is passing round the odd stone idol he dug up near Darkling Dyke. Goodnight from Hookland.

As an experiment I thought I might do some short films of a few of my pieces. I’m not much of a performer but I hope it’s worth it to see aspects of the work that don’t always come across in a photograph. Let me know what you think.

Once we sacrificed human lives and enjoined rituals to the gods we invented and empowered because what was a human life or a human's desires before such immensity. Now we do the same to corporations we invented and empowed while smiling smugly at how we have traded superstition for enlightenment.

We were Children of The Hum. We were pylon pilgrims. Each transmission tower was a temporary temple, a station in the electric ley of the land. We marched towards them in a form of rapture that must have scared. the shit out of any outside observers. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave, ex-Pylon Person
