Mum asks in a stern voice: "Do you need time out Eli?"
Small Human looks at her with heartfelt woe: "NO Mum! No! I just NEED a CHEESE TOASTIE!" (4)

?? Still on sale ?? GO TEAM
(But at least the Canadian site says the deal is ending in 8 hours so that'll mean it ends across all the platforms I believe) (however, on sale on B&N, Bookshop, Kindle, and Kobo!)

Also wow I don't think I've ever cracked the Kindle Top 50 in... anything, LOL. (They have some VERY esoteric categories and still no.) UNTIL NOW!
THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST is still $1.99 at ebook retailers apparently! :)

Saw an interesting post freaking out about the upcoming Royal Mail changes. They’re an inconvenience, and imho not worth getting super upset about. Save your energy. But! It made me think and uh oh here’s a thread 🧵

It's so nice outside and I want to go for a walk. Sunny and dry cold weather is so rare in this country but my arthritic knee basically seizes to function, even when wrapped in several layers. :(

I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists.
Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

And even worse, everybody just seems to shrug. "We are watching developments with concern," seems to be the best they can manage.
