Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.

She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months

The Petit Paris French restaurant in the Grassmarket at night, another quick handheld shot on way home from work. As you can see not many choosing to dine outside at this time of year!

I did a tiny bit to help establish Women's Studies at my alma mater, UT-Austin.
It makes me sick that UT is rushing to grovel before the Head Felon in Charge.

"The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds," writes Joan Wallach Scott.

How gorgeous are these tiny Nomad Editions books? Inspired by Japanese pocket books, the first three translations are out now, with more to follow.

PREHISTORY: "Hundreds of hillforts dotted southern Scotland ... The descriptor ‘hillfort’ is something of a misnomer, for they were communities first and fortresses second ... Holyrood Park ... was once the heart of the local community." David C Weinczock

Wonderful evening taking chums to Casablanca at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social

Booked before the awful medical news, so turned into a bit of a much-needed morale booster too.

Also a movie with a strong f**k the fascists theme, always welcome.

The awards eligibility post. My 2025 publications.
Novel. The Green Man’s Holiday, Wizard’s Tower Press
Nonfiction. 'What can Tolkien’s creative process teach a writer today?' in Writing the Magic, Dead Ink Books
Short story in the following post. Memo to self - use shorter titles!
Text reads: Juliet E McKenna Publications in 2025 The Green Man’s Holiday Novel – Wizard’s Tower Press What can Tolkien’s creative process teach a writer today? Contribution to Writing the Magic – Essays on Crafting Fantasy Fiction Dead Ink Books The Boggart Had Seen It Before Short story – Lincolnshire Folktales Reimagined Five Leaves Publications To the left, the cover of Writing the Magic lists the editors and contributors and has the letters for the word 'magic' in black outlined with gold, and floating on a background which shades from green to purple. The cover of Lincolnshire Folk Tales Reimagined has the title in black with ‘reimagined’ in red above a sketch of a rural landscape with trees in the foreground and fields behind reaching to the horizon. The cream background has a texture like woven cloth and the sketch looks as if the artist used charcoal. To the right, The Green Man's Holiday cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those.
