Today I learned I am a direct descendant of Athrwys ap Meurig, who is believed by some to be the historical basis for the legendary King Arthur. Does this explain my obsession with the legends? It finally all makes sense! 😅 #geneology #history #KingArthur #writingcommunity #author #Arthurian

Realising praise I sent an author about how great I thought their book is reads like one of those AI-slop marketing emails authors hate and is totally cringe and why oh why do I revisit these things after the horse has bolted 😫

Tooting my own horn here but there's a glowing review of my book Supernatural Bodies in the Fortean Times in case you missed it (I had missed it!)

Reading a hyped new release and there’s a double space ON THE FIRST PAGE. And another shortly after that. Ctrl+f is literally the easiest thing to do #writingcommunity #tradpub #newrelease #someonedidntcopyeditproperly

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this
