NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! (Kind of) 📚💙

In honor of my late grandfather CLR James's 124th birthday, meet the new edition of his 1953 book *Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways: The Story of Herman Melville and the World We live In*

I wrote the foreword with 🧪 in mind!

Came home after work blasting Shadow and David Rudder to give me the energy to walk that last stretch and decided to just sit and doomscroll in silence for 15 minutes. I can literally feel my brain relaxing.

I just realised! #TheNightward launches in the UK next Tuesday!

It's not to late to pre-order this scifantasy about a child queen and her bodyguard on the run. Get it on launch day, or give it as a gift for the holidays. I recommend the amazing audiobook!

Asking for me.

Looking to network with other neurodivergent business professionals (mainly in Secretarial and Administrative fields, and looking to connect with those with ASD and ADHD)

I want to put myself in gear to better seize remote work roles.

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

Just saw that my first agent, who embezzled from me & other clients, is now on Bluesky. Yes, he's still agenting. A Google search would reveal he's a serial embezzler.

Be careful out there.
