This was my view from my balcony in Croatia in 2019, while I was working on the first draft of STARS AND BONES.
A laptop sits on a table along with a copy of ON WRITERS AND WRITING by Margaret Atwood, a pen, and an unused ashtray, in front of black iron railings, beyond which stretched calm blue sea all the way to a distant headland.

HELLO!! I have just weaseled my way into a set at this year’s “Cancer is a Joke” fundriaser!

You can see me and a bunch of much funnier people with a $19 donation streamed live from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles!

Not, my set, at least, is not suitable for kids.

'A new curriculum needs to be written. Currently, it's written by the four largest denominational churches... It has to be written by education professionals and include humanist content.' Northern Ireland Humanists Coordinator Boyd Sleator featured on BBC Newsline. Boyd appears at 1:33 👏

We need stronger oversight, greater transparency, and a firm expectation that all schools – whether of a religious character or not – meet the same robust standards. No school should be able to hide poor education or poor safeguarding behind a religious label.

Private faith schools far more likely to fail basic standards
New figures from Ofsted show that more than one in four private faith schools in England are failing to meet basic legal standards – almost double the rate of other types of private school. In…

#OnThisDay 130 years ago, the North, South, East, and West London Ethical Societies came together to discuss forming a federation. One year later, their vision became reality with the founding of the Union of Ethical Societies – the organisation that would eventually become Humanists UK!
I. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES AND AIMS Suggested as the Basis of a Union between the above-named Societies. Our Principles are virtually the same as those printed in the Report of the London Ethical Society five years ago, viz.:— 1.—That the good life has a claim upon us in virtue of its supreme worth to humanity. 2.—It therefore rests for its justification on no external authority, and on no system of supernatural rewards and punishments, but on the nature of man, as a rational and social being. 3.—In practice it is to be realized by accepting and acting in the spirit of such common obligations as are enjoined by the relationships of family and society, in so far as these are a means to a fuller human development. Our Aims are:— 1.—To assist individual and social efforts after right living. 2.—To free the current ideal of what is right from all that is merely traditional or self-contradictory, and thus to widen and perfect it. 3.—To assist in constructing a Theory or Science of Right, which, starting with the reality and validity of moral distinctions, shall explain their mental and social origin, and connect them in a logical system of thought.

A fairy tale looking Butter Cap on the forest floor.

This almost looks AI generated but I can promise you it's not.

AI is already driving up your electric bill.

It could soon control every aspect of your life — and put you out of a job.

We must put up guardrails before it's too late.

Walking back from the shop and I see some movement on the pavement. It was this beautiful, not so wee beastie, on her back! I got her onto my hand and moved her to a much safer spot.

Araneus quadratus, 4 spot orb weaver

A photograph of a spider on my hand. She has a very large, round orange abdomen, stripy brown and white legs. She is fairly large and chonky. And gorgeous.

In a world filled with poverty, disease and suffering, choosing to be a billionaire is soulless, selfish and immoral. Choosing to be a trillionaire is downright evil.
