'I’m just a girl, standing in front of the British government, asking why they want to give away all my work as part of the UK's 126 billion pound creative arts industry, to serve another industry being run by greedy tech bros, just so they can destroy everything else just that little bit faster.'

Look, I have a book I should be writing, but I have so many other words screaming in my head that I need to write them down first. Buckle up, my darlings, because this post is breaking my social media...

I’ve loved so much of @aptshadow.bsky.social’s sci-fi that the different style of City of Last Chances has been a delicious surprise. Notes of Mervyn Peake with sprinklings of the less goofy parts of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, but a distinct voice and style and compelling world building.

Nietzsche and Foucault blew my mind in lots of ways I’ve found useful as an adult, but I genuinely think PoS shaped me more than anything else I studied in philosophy.
