Oh yes, we have a local politician who loves to do this. I think he’s been blocked by most mutuals by now. Like…. don’t do this? (TLDR context: follow/unfollow spamming to get noticed)

You’d probably not be shocked how this is also true of much of the tech we rely on, too. We’re a few bad commits away from code meltdown that will take most of the Web with it (not kidding).

Spent most of the week away chilling at Loch Fyne. I've only been back in the city a day and I need another break. Trying to remember how to write. <pokes Scrivener>

Day job: we launched our 13th (!) clothing collection last night, and once again, I do not understand how time works. It feels like we were talking about doing an ethical fashion thing just yesterday. And, boom. Now if only I could finish novels, aye? 😂

What is goingon at the British Museum? Thieves, hackers... It's like a Leverage episode over there!

Novel I’m editing is sf set sometime after a global war of that nobody/wants to remember. Feels like IRL times are the unwritten backstory—politics, AI, corporate rule & puppet politics. Next novel will be spoken over a campfire in our cosy communal cave & feature fantasy dragon & peaceful magic 🤨

A scene reworked, some editing and… well I hope my crit partner is still on speaking terms after reading that. Mint tea, then bed.

3400 words edited on paper over lunch. Yay, progress?

For the record, I frequently annoy myself, too.

Lovely light in the office this morning.

Another glorious evening in Edinburgh
