Many complex emotions announcing that @cormorantbooks.bsky.social will be publishing Famous Blue. It's more 'literary' than my horror work, if that means anything, but I'm proud it's slouching slowly out into the world. Thank you to Natasha Mihell at @therightsfactory.bsky.social for all you did ❤️

There is nowhere I will not find you, my heretic friend. You may flee from the lumbering Nazi galleons as they scour the toxic Twitter sea. I care not for them. My barque is swift, my log is sure, and we will clash rapiers from the Oceans of Bluesky to the Sea of Discord, until the end of the web...

I firmly maintain that the Pierce Brosnan Bonds are the gayest Bonds and the fact that they’re so homoerotic and camp is why they’re the best of the crop Alexa send tweet mute replies

Multiple straight friends have reassured me over the past few months that they aren’t coming for me, they’re coming for the scary trans rapists. I’ve pointed out that this is a classic Nazi tactic. They didn’t put up posters of your Jewish neighbour. They put up posters of this guy, who didn’t exist

Reading Last and First Men by Olaf Stapleton feels a bit like the sci-fi equivalent of reading the Bible. Lots of moments of realization, like “oh, that’s where this came from. Oh, that’s where that came from!” Essential cultural literacy reading for genre fiction. And hauntingly beautiful

Maybe no fallout at all. Just us having to stare at that evil little Boer’s face while he stands next to Trump dressed as ugly white Jafar, for…well, I guess we’ll find out, won’t we? The ineffectual Sultan and his Vizier. Tale as old as time…

On this day, in 2023, on the visit we got engaged, my partner insisted we go to Tesco's so we could buy the only beer, in the whole of England, that he actually wanted to drink #APartOfOurHeritage
