Day 2 of Crossroads 10 Supernatural Con. Q&As, photo with Mark Sheppard, stewarding for couple hours, cos play contest Tricky MC concert, and disco. Gonna be knackered. #Supernatural #Crossroads10 #Crowley

Today is a good day. Finally, at the convention hotel, but more importantly, I just got confirmation from the @horrortree.com that they would like to publish the latest drabble I sent them. I'm off to celebrate with an alcoholic drink right now 😁 #writing #drabbles #supernatural

Currently sat in Carlucchios, Manchester Piccadilly station. Waiting to head off to Crossroads 10 Supernatural Convention in Birmingham. First Supernatural Convention I've been to in about 17 years. Then able-bodied. Now disabled, and WAY older 😁. Will be interesting. #crossroads10 #Supernatural

I'm off to Crossroads 10 at the weekend, which is a Supernatural Convention taking place in Birmingham. Got my nails done for it. How cool are these! My nail lady is amazing. #Supernatural #Crossroads10 #nailart

Blessed Be at Beltane. #beltane #pagan

Word for the week - love it. Also - so true! #books #reading

Working from home this week. Back in the office next week. Her ladyship - Sigi Kneebiter the Shadow Cat, is keeping me company! #work #cats

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.

Penguin Modern Classics is to publish a “definitive annotated edition” of Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch, one of his Discworld novels. 👇 #BookSky

Evening falls over Hope Valley. Heading home tomorrow. Bah!

Hope Valley I am in you. 'Hens Ride Again' weekend. Chilling, tequila, Stray Kids and some writing.

Taking my Trump derangement syndrome to new heights. (Stay for the finale.) 🧹🫧💚🇺🇸 #NewVideo #DefyDemocracy #Parody

I'm going in - sugar rush here I come...

If you haven't listened to this week's podcast episode featuring Joe Cornish, it's a banger! Here are Joe's three childhood scars (and the podcast link is in our bio) 1) The magnificent 1975 BBC paranormal documentary THE GHOST HUNTERS, especially 'the sigh'...

The @scarredforlife.bsky.social Folk Horror Special show is definitely coming to Derby QUAD on Fri 21st March - the flyers have just been spotted in reception! Tickets here... www.derbyquad.co.uk/events/scarr...

And the @ghoststoryfest.bsky.social is done for another year. Going away with some great ideas for stories and drabbles, as well as a number of books to read. Interesting mix of talks, workshops, and panels, and not a boring moment amongst them. Can't wait for next year. #writing #ghosts

On my way to Derby for the @ghoststoryfest.bsky.social, which starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to some great talks and workshops, and hopefully, I'll manage to get some writing done. #writing #horror

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

I'm sorry men, but after Gregg Wallace and now Wynne Evans the problem is still: you www.standard.co.uk/comment/wynn...

Join us at Sackville Gardens, Manchester, on 9th February to celebrate the life and activism of Mark Ashton, co-founder of Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners, Secretary of the YCL and many others. #LGBTQ+ #Manchester #MarkAshton #Pride #LGSM

Managed to crank out about 1200 words today. Rewrote and actually finished a ficlet I started about 10 years ago, and I wrote about 800 words on a new Fey story I'm working on. Also updated my @gywo.bsky.social habit tracker. Only need 3 more days this month to hit my pledge target. #writing #GYWO

So very funny. Tony Slattery with the banking rap!! youtu.be/9uilcRCDTwo?...

Such sad news to come home to. I loved watching Tony Slattery on Whose Line is it Anyway? amongst other shows. He was very quick-witted, talented and so very very funny. Those programmes kept me entertained at night when I was living on my own in a bedsit in London. He will be missed. RIP

That Christmas episode of Strictly Come Dancing has got to be the gayest ever! Drag Queen contestant, Kai in drag, Danni Minogue, 2 female pros dancing to Emma Bunton. I bloody loved it. 🎄🏳️‍🌈💙💜💗 #Strictly #dragqueensrule

I've been doing the Excursionist challenge for @gywo.bsky.social this year, which is to write 180 days in the year. I reached this last month, so I have challenged myself to get to 200 days by the end of the year. Currently at 195 days. #GYWO #amwriting

Blessed Be on the Winter Solstice. #wintersolstice

My gf, and fellow writer, has come to visit this weekend as I won't be seeing her at Christmas. We opened presents. I have many notebooks from her to fill with stories in 2025. I always write my stories longhand and then type onto my laptop. I can never have too many notepads. #writing #Christmas

In one of my favourite local bar/restaurants in Manchester. Have only just noticed the personage on top of the Christmas tree has no head! Nobody can explain why. Apparently last year it had a head. As a pagan I applaud this 😃🎄🌲

12 days I survived. Worst than last year. Way better than 2022. Goddamn Uber drivers. Right, where's that mead and some attractive warriors? @whamageddon.bsky.social #whamhalla #whamageddon #mead
