Thanks to an enduring cost of living crisis and the imminence of Christmas, it's my duty to tell you that my latest book is basically half price right now. Stocking fillers for all. #booksky

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

YES!

Great question from the smart cookie in the third row.

jambookshop.co.uk still operates as an online bookshop so UK peeps can contact me to order any books they fancy
(as long as they are available at suppliers)

Books could be delivered to you within 2-3 days.
Pop an email or comment.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost
Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

When you spend all day baking then your stupid fucking oven betrays you at the final stretch.

Luckily the cheese is an inch thick and the top layer can be peeled off... 🙄

Christ me.

The best I could find, on UK TV services, ahead of tomorrow's #Halloween without going too mainstream.

Some are free if you already subscribe, some shouldn't cost you more than, like £3.49 to rent, should you wish.

Show me yours! 🔪⚰️👻 #Halloween2025 #horror #HorrorMovies

But wrapped in Aldi's eau de Ed Gein toilet roll.
What terrifying thing are you dressing as this Halloween I'm dressing up as acid reflux

Down Cemetary Road is a load of absolute wank, and all performers involved deserve so much more.

I predict it will run for at least five seasons.

🌳 As a #NationalTrust member I’ve just voted for the recommended slate to keep out the bogus, right-wing entryists of “Restore Trust”. Anything this creep wants is bad for Britain and bad for our heritage.
🌳 If you’re a member, vote Recommended Slate now: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
One vital reason to vote in the National Trust elections and for the NT endorsed candidates. We can't risk the Restore Trust candidates getting any influence on it.

We had a right old lovely time with Great Newsome beers this past month. This bitter is an absolute top-tier banger.

Have a listen in episode 30 of our little podcast, Reclining Pair

@deathofbuckley.bsky.social Just realised I entirely missed a DC record. This song jumped out at me. It's like a slow, electronic slide into madness.

I couldn't have liked it more.
