A sure sign that my cat has been up to no good is when she sees me and immediately tries too hard to act casual.

Finally nailed the promotional photo for my East Anglian remake of Don't Look Now, which tells the same story, but using all the locations from Whistle And I'll Come To You.

Cat: “I cannot convey to you just how much I genuinely despise this food.”
Me: “Here, have this instead.”
Cat: “OMG I LOVE IT.”
Me: “It’s exactly the same bowl of food. I just took it away for six seconds then put it back in the same place.”
Cat: “I am fire and the wind. Do not attempt to know me.”

I'm not much for writing advice, but I'll say this: If you write, the internet - its breakneck pace & cracked attention spans - will create a parallel surface narrative of your work. The ability to ignore it & realise it's got fuck all to do with you, or anything you've actually written, is useful.

This is happening again and again from Substack users & is costing me a fortune. I've explained endless times how simple it is to cancel a subscription to my site.
I've gone, over the last few months from, "Substack isn't for me" to "Substack is fucking evil & people need to know about this shit".

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

They don't care that they're hypocrites. They'll lie to your face smiling while they slide a knife in your gut and ship your family to a camp; all for a 0.5% increase over last quarter's profit.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for President Biden to be imprisoned and put to death, but he was so well-groomed when he said it so ...
1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed.
Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do.
He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.

Why would anyone think Trump is in the Epstein files?
Just because he declared that voting to release the files is a 'hostile act'
And reports of MAGAs charged with sex crimes appear daily
And he's coddling Ghislane Maxwell
And halting investigations into human traffic ---
Okay, I get it now.

It is a legal requirement that all cat names must evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

Tom Cox is one of the writers who got ripped off by Unbound publishers (you can read about it in the thread to this post). I've always liked his books a lot, and am glad to spread the word about his new book.

THREAD. My new novel will be published on Sep 11th. You can pre-order a signed 1st edition w/free intl delivery here: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...
All pre-orders MASSIVELY help it get into shops.
IMO it's the best book I've ever written.
At one point, I thought it might be lost forever....
