LinkedIn sent me a notification to say it looked like I was making good use of the app and asked if I was enjoying it.

I answered not so much. Then it asked me why.

If you’re stuck on what to get him this Father’s Day try my 90s dark comedy fiction books about music, fandom, friendship and mental health. See link in bio or order signed copies from @serenitybookshop.bsky.social

WHEN SALLY KILLED HARRY has been described as ‘man hating’ & ‘misogynistic as fuck’ so it’s clearly an inclusive read

Also I genuinely love this review: “Entertaining and horrific. I’m still not sure how I feel about it”

My work here is done. 🙌🏻💪🏻

Here’s a mood board.

Essential, emotional, entertaining and traumatic viewing. This series won’t last me five minutes.

Make sure you watch What it Feels Like for a Girl from Paris Lees

Books for 90s music fans. Featuring fictional cameos from Senseless Things and Beautiful South and King Rupert (90s #Hull band).

Oh - and both are set in Hull, smash mental health stereotypes and explore friendship, fandom and recovery - with a few laughs and a dog called Trevor

A satisfying vinyl flat lay….except it’s not *that* satisfying because it reminds me of all the unforgettable vinyl I sold to pay for forgettable nights out at Spiders or Welly or Silhouette….but this is a small selection of the small collection that survived)

Had a wonderful night at @livetheatre.bsky.social last night for the final night of the Unearthed festival. Brilliant scratch night showcasing writers, actors and directors. Some really thought provoking stuff. Urge anyone to take a chance on what’s new in theatre.

There’s something about the To Mother record….and Ripe is the best of Kat’s death screams. If there was a band I WISHED I’d seen live it’s Babes in Toyland. But I did get to interview Maureen for one of my books which was a highlight….she was so lovely….and as every other BiT fan I’m hoping Kat’s Ok
