Getting ready for a day without power. One of the perils of living out in the middle of nowhere is that no power = no water, because our borehole stops pumping without it. But at least we know in advance, so we now have a selection of filled jugs and pans everywhere!

in britain the anchorites of asda dwell by the sacred stones, solemnly intoning the words “that’s asda price”, and performing the necessary ritual (the double bum slap) three times a day to bring about the great rolling back when we will all be redeemed
One for @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social - I was reading this morning about the Asda 'Price Promise' stones that were erected across the country in the 90s

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.

I'm 9000 words into a horror/fantasy novella and I just got to write a scene full of skeletal hands bursting out of the floor. I don't know what it says about me, but I'm truly having the time of my life!
