Happy New Year! Operative word being new, meaning you can do anything you want.

Do it, quit it, dump them, ask them out, fade into blissful obscurity, or something else entirely.

The choice is yours - enjoy! 🥂✨

Bored over the festive season? We're still seeking contributions to our ridiculous saytheprime.com video project: sign up and make a 5-minute video of yourself saying a chunk of digits of the largest known prime number. Can we finish before they discover a bigger one? It's a race against maths!
Say the Prime
We're attempting to get a collection of humans to say every digit of the newly-discovered (and currently largest-known prime number) Mersenne prime M136279841, and hope to achieve this before another…

What if 3 scoundrels in space had to speak to their therapist after a heist?

🥰 Sam is always a dream to work & perform with, one of my fave people full stop!
Day 14 is @sciwithrach.bsky.social

Rachel is an absolute delight who brings warmth, impeccable comedy skills and the ability to take a character and make you care so very deeply about them.

Back at our very first table, she appears as Valentine in Orbital Blues, and might well be back soon.

Managing to reply to this juuuust before the end of #ADHDAwarenessMonth because... I have ADHD! Working on this book helped me reflect on my experiences and, after a LOT of forms and waiting lists, I now have a deeper understanding of my very own wonderful brain 😊🧠

Grateful for everyone @'d below ⬇️
It's #ADHDawarenessmonth and I couldn't let it go by without mentioning All Brains Are Wonderful! 🧠 I loved editing this brilliant book and working with @thereaderteacher.bsky.social , The Boy Fitz Hammond, @sciwithrach.bsky.social and @bsmallpublishing.bsky.social
