I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

I really really miss my cat. It's been a month, and I can't shake it.

I've lost my parents and felt acute grief. I've lost friends and felt anger.

But this is a deep sadness that won't fucking pass and I don't know what to do about it.

He was such a fucking legend who never left my side.

Too good for TV
[Ongoing thread] Consider Phlebas, an upcoming sci-fi show by Amazon MGM Studio

Yes, the legendary Culture novel series by Iain M. Banks is (potentially) coming on TV! And they'll obviously start with the first of the nine books, published in 1987.

Charles Yu is writing and executive producing.

RIP Hind Rajab.

Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.

I will never forget this story.
