Finally joined in and created a patreon. Hoping to share my writing journey, navigating life, and various bookish posts. There is a paywall for all posts that are not recent book reviews, and I do need to sort out the discord server. But it should be fun if nothing else.

But for now I might finally delete Bluesky from my phone and see you in August. Please don’t forget about me if you all find a new social media in that time (im so sad deleting Bluesky whereas deleting insta and LinkedIn was no biggie).
Okay okay I’ll delete the app it after my shower.

I’ve changed my mod shift at NamCam so I’m hoping to start running some (hopefully daily in the afternoon) productivity/writing sprints over on discord for those subbed to my Patreon. Just in case you wanted some company.

Wild that the Green’s seem to be the only party taking a stand against the Supreme Court ruling and subsequent EHRC ‘guideance’.
Please vote Green on May 1st if you’re able; they might not be perfect, but they’re a hell of a lot better than the other options.

Can anyone help this group who are providing mutual aid to palestinians? Clean water is in short supply as well as food and other necessities. If you can't donate, give it a boost?
May is a busy week for us. Please continue to register and donate as much as you can to Sameer Project, the mutual aid org most of our workshops have been supporting lately. They continue to provide water and other support to Palestinians in the face of zionist genocide.

I need potential employers to stop asking me what I think about AI because it’s nothing good and honestly why do you want to know what a writer you want to hire thinks of a machine that steals people’s work?

Under the EHRC rules it will be an offence for a trans woman to use a women’s toilet regardless of whether anyone objects, or even sees her. So cis men will have more rights to enter women’s toilets than trans women.

Preparing for a job interview later today for a job I hopefully stand a decent chance of getting.
Didn't end up hearing back from that horrifying one the other week. I guess both me and the company knew I was never going to get it after that initial embarassing chat 🥹
