Well look at that, just in time to miss the Christmas shopping rush, my Etsy shop is live. Soft launching with a few things to begin with but between this and the successful market on Saturday, it feels like a real jump into serious potting!

Decided to make it five signed books, not three, I'm giving away to people who share this.
Because my thieving ex-publishers can fuck off.
Because I believe this book is good enough to be read and enjoyed for many years.
Because it's the only pension I'll have.
And because why fucking not.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

@raid71.bsky.social Will we be seeing you at TB this year? The Vice press day in Sheffield being so close seems like it might cannibalise the poster community...

Some twat at school deliberately damaged my pottery work after an argument. I pushed a pin into his work and smoothed it over so that it exploded in the kiln. Fuck you Mark. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Ugh. Kiln firing attept 1 - element had detached from the connector. Failure to heat. Attempt 2 - Dave didn't reset it properly. Attempt 3 - in progress, 24 hours later than planned. Opening will be minutes before leaving for my parents, and presents are in there!

I recently discovered that my 'unique' pottery stamp incorporating my initials is basically exactly the same as the one Potclays uses for their test tiles. Time to think again... #pottery
