My cat died last week. He wasn’t even one year old, and it really hit me hard. Then, over the weekend, I saw that an extremely talented tattoo artist I know had some availability… and it gave me the chance to commemorate Pounce, along with all the cats I’ve lost in my life.

Hug your pets please ❤️

You know you’re getting old when your ‘YOLO’ moments come from deciding to eat a ‘slightly too ripe’ banana.

Anybody want to open up a ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ themed pub and call it ‘How To Drain Your Flagon’?

I wrote a short screenplay for the first round of a writing challenge I like to compete in each year. This year, I woke up to this delightful email. Can’t wait for round two!

I asked my 2yo son if he knows what we’re doing for Easter and he said “I will eat the Easter Bunny.”

I don’t know if this means anything but I’d like all my trans friends to know that the UK Supreme Court doesn’t speak for me. Like, at all.

Had such a lovely time at the ‘we’re not at GDC,’ games writers catch up. Thank you @englishscribe.bsky.social for organising.

I’m terrible at taking photos of these things, but I did get a lovely one with my good friend @farnspam.bsky.social!
