This is being shared all over TikTok by the way. Europe-wide Gen Z protests planned for 17th October and 20th November. Seems to be led by the French (unsurprisingly), but it’s for everyone.

This is a platform where authors sign up to have AI “adapt” their books into movies. Or, in other words, the one of the worst things ever created.

That makes sense!

I’m sorry for your loss. As far as I’m aware, you can “make merit” at temple or in your own life, and dedicate the act to them. Merit making includes donations, meditation, taking care of the environment, you can look up more. I’m not Thai, or Bhuddist, but I don’t think you have to be to do these.

Just got back from a meditation class at the local Thai Buddhist temple (I’m not spiritual I just lived in Thailand as a kid and find temples comforting). Fed the fish, drank Milo, and then ended up on a quest with a nun in search of the Abbot. To think, I used to go clubbing.

Haaa at this point all my best stuff is written between 1 and 3am. I’ve come to accept it!

The foxes in my back garden don’t seem to be nocturnal at all. Or rather - they are awake all day and all night and never seem to sleep.

Wild, I haven’t seen anything about Spain on here! Glad tumblr is still alive and kicking for this stuff

Massive protests in France, Belgium and India right now and I’m realising I’m really not on the correct social media because I’m not seeing enough of it. Actively trying to train my algorithms to show me more than just the US. I know we share a language but damn it I want to see the WORLD.

The silence from the organisers is deafening. How long does legal advice take? This was going to be my first RARE and so far we’ve been unable to get a refund on the tickets. And that’s just attendees, the authors are looking at losing out on SO much. It’s awful.

This is our national, publicly-funded television broadcaster btw. Fuck the BBC.

And thank you for reading! (And helping to set up). Was so brilliant to meet you!

Hi, book 2 is coming in autumn next year! It’s an interconnected standalone, so not a direct sequel, but it really expands the world.

It's been a very shit day work-wise, but it's some small crumb of comfort to know at least that my last novel sold more on release day than Sue-Ellen's bag of racist wank

Wrote 2000 words at 3am and just read them back. They’re not half bad. Lord knows why I decided to revisit the cannibal regency romance WIP in the middle of the night, but it’s nice to have momentum!

Halloween season plans are looking extra random this year: Critical Role Live Macklemore Palestine fundraiser concert Wicker cinema screening Stray Kids concert cinema screening Technically none of this is Halloween-specific, but no one’s gonna stop me turning up to them in costume.

Thank you!
