So apparently FIVE of my friends have independently taken up whittling.
I had no idea whittling was such a big thing. Very proud. You go on and whittle that wood.

There’s a medication I’ve been told to try but it’s not available on the NHS. I have to pay £50 for a consultation and £30 for the meds.
I shouldn’t have bought Lily Allen tickets 😭 why is being disabled so EXPENSIVE.

Just found out my DnD character is the chosen one, destined to either save or destroy his dying people.
This is a LOT more epic than I was expecting. All I said was that he didn’t know why his parents moved to a remote island and were quiet about their past. Then left it to the DM.
I’m SO excited!

Ahh Hachette sent me Eternal Ruin, the follow up to Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma!
I LOVED book 1 - a Black woman enrolls in a university for humans and vampires to find out what happened to her missing sister, but has to cohabit with her number one suspect, a vampire
Can’t wait to read this 📚💙 📚🤎

WE GOT LILY ALLEN TICKETS!
I’m finally going to Mighty Hoopla!
Just spent an hour online with my mate trying to get them. She got through thankfully. Every ticket experience seems to be a tense, exciting race these days.

Home from an incredible weekend with beloved friends.
I am an absolute mess and will be in bed for a few days but it was worth it 💜
I love that I can state what I need to be safe/comfortable and my friends don’t bat an eye, just take care of me. I’m so lucky.

There’s something truly special about friendships that have lasted from your hectic booze-filled 20s, to your sober, nostalgic 30s.
I’ve had as much fun screaming and dancing around a living room to 2000s pop hits tonight as I did when we were techno clubbing till dawn 15 years ago.

I’ve been published in a zine!
The piece is called “Existence Rebellion: A Joy-Full Manifesto for the Marginalised”
All about finding joy, and spitting it the face of those who try to bring us down.
The last line is cut off, but reads: “live brightly. Live happily. Just live.”

Semiotics is a brilliant tool for understanding how culture is changing. It makes so much sense to apply it to storytelling, to keep the writing culturally relevant & exciting!

It’s Bonfire Night!
“Remember remember the 5th of November, gunpowder treason and plot”
I see this night as a celebration of anti-establishment rage. Fuck the system. Burn it all down.
I’m sadly not going to any bonfire events but I’ll be happily watching fireworks from my window.

Errr, thanks? I guess? Coming across as a cis man with a high voice is a win I think? Let’s go with that 😹

Watching a new Thai gay show, and characters are getting married and talking about how the law just passed for them to be able to 😭💜
Makes me so happy after Trinidad reinstated the old law making homosexual activity illegal (I’m half Trini).
At least some places are going in the right direction!
