My YA graphic novel MADELINE OF THE COMPASSES was longlisted for the 2025 Puffin Graphic Novel competition earlier this year. It's an urban fantasy about misfit kids embracing their outsider identities as they navigate the Fae Wilds. Currently workshopping it to submit to agents and publishers!

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

for my MA thesis someone had the GREAT idea to write and pencil a 380pg OGN.

i’m probably 70% of the way through but it’s had to take a backseat to some INCREDIBLE opportunities the last 2 yrs.

very much using the end of this year to tie up some loose ends and retool/format/do...

In 2019, my lil bro @caraden.bsky.social graduated with a first in international relations. Six long years later, and I have finally graduated myself with a first in literature. Behold: the high five of glory.

Learning there is a vulture called Yolo has filled me with delight 🖤
Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

Really excellent event going on atm with the British Fantasy Society! Really interesting conversations about colonialism and diaspora identity and how this informs different writers/artists' work.
I'll be speaking at Imaginarium's Diaspora Heroes on November 30 at 11:00. Come get tickets and let's have a good time!

Britain never did grow out of oppressing the Irish because the country generally feels like it *should* own us regardless of all that pesky war of independence stuff
This is madness.

All books by Normal People and Conversations with Friends author Sally Rooney set to be withdrawn from sale.

The 34-year-old Irish author says: “The disappearance of my work from bookshops would mark a truly extreme incursion by the state into the realm of artistic expression.”
Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban, court told
Rooney has said she intended to use royalties from her work "to go on supporting Palestine Action."

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
