Managed to get my first cycling #cakeclub of the year in today, 25 miles and a cinnamon bun at Pickleberrys. They were busy - I had to go upstairs.

A profoundly uplifting book despite the awful and movingly written tragedy within. It helped me consider how I have dealt with grief and suicide as well as opening my eyes further to the plight of trans teens who cannot get the healthcare they so desperately need. Buy or borrow this book now.
I’m ridiculously pleased to have received a statement from PLR. I’ve earned £33.61 from loans of print and ebooks from UK libraries.

I’m nine again and have just found 50p down the back of the sofa.

Withdraw Her Name Is Alice from your local library and gift me 12p and some annual childish joy ❤️

IDEA FOR A PERIOD DETECTIVE SERIES: "Bertrand Russell Investigates"

Top logician and fearless humanist Bertrand Russell solves crimes with his powers of deduction in the 1920s. Every episode ends with him chuckling about what he'll say about it in his next postcard to Wittgenstein.

1. Remove “aspiring” or “would-be writer” from your bio. Replace it with “writer.”

I made an AI Christmas song called Jesus Was A Prog Rocker Too. Wait, come back, it's very silly and a little fundraiser for Crisis, I don't seek to make any financial gain myself.

I try to explain what happened on the Just Giving page which links to it...
