Cyclone barrelling down on us, people panick buying, should be an interesting few days. Qld, Australia

Existential dread, existential dreeeeaaaaaaad, I'm in a constant state of existential dread. Can we reset the timeline, anyone?

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

It's my birthday. Another turn around the sun. Kids are still asleep and I'm loving the peace of the early morning. Might write.

Life's hard when you spend all day watching your human stare at the screen trying to write. Exhausted.

That moment when a wonderful reader points out that your published book has a typo... it happens. Even after edits. Writing is wonderful, she says with a sigh.

Son's girlfriend is making Brooki's Choc Chip biscuits from the book she got for Christmas. They look fantastic.

As a teacher, this slaps!

When you are almost done writing the book series and then the characters tell you there should be a book 4... argh, can't I just fit it in this book?

And if don't get it watch, youtu.be/N3WTlyuhDs0?... Good video to share with anyone who finds politics 'boring'.

‘And I had eleventy million followers too.’

So excited to meet so many great minds here. Just had a hard day teaching Yr9s and then come back to so many new followers. Promise not to spam you!

Sigh.
