Oof. Watching Interview with the Vampire for the first time in decades. To say it’s problematic is an understatement with its slave-owning protagonist and paedo subtext. And Brad Pitt is so uncomfortable in his stiff role. Cruise is having fun though.

This is such a compliment coming from Andy. I’m so glad people remember my Dodger books fondly and that they still find readers. Thanks AW!

just saw a video of someone who works from home who gets up really early to commute to a gym. Some of you will never escape the prisons of your own minds

One of the more fun jobs I do is pre-reviewing books that include trans characters and storylines - and I've particularly enjoyed doing it for authors like @jamesbenmore.bsky.social, @margrettryggva.bsky.social and Elísabet Thoroddsen. So if you or someone you know needs a review, hit me up!

Reading the Marvel story where Doctor Doom becomes president and I've got to be honest, he's doing a better job than Trump.

It’s a shame that actions taken by toddler-minded populist twats to deal with “problems” in their batshit imaginary universe have effects in our real universe, where the rest of us have to live.

Can’t we build them a fake “wheel” for government like kids have in the back of cars?
