So MEGA, huh? I initially laughed it off but now I see how it might appeal to the far right this side of the Atlantic.

In 2007, a clip went viral of a man being stopped on the street by a Guangzhou TV reporter. The man was asked about a sex scandal that was all over the news at the time and his reply has been a popular Chinese slang phrase for not getting involved ever since. He said “I’m just here to buy soy sauce”

I was just saying to a friend what a good day this was after a shitty couple of weeks, sun shining, lots of work done… and then I lost my AirPod case. Beware of holes in your pockets.

I really want to like it here but DMs from rockstar writers inquiring about my craft are so weird. What’s the fun in impersonating famous authors? Do you think I’d give my credit card details to a fake Saunders? Did this happen to you too?

The sky today in Brussels was pure magic. I wish you could all see the true shade of pink, pic is more faded. It means spring is coming, right?

Best Advice of 2024

In years past, I listed all my publications to silence that imposter voice that never leaves me alone. This year, I won’t bother. I wrote less than ever, but I meant every single word—and along the way, I might have figured out what I really care about. That will do. Onwards.

The spookiest thing about this place is the fake accounts of literary rockstars that then DM you. Can anyone verify people?
