Tonight's Doctor Who is Power of the Daleks. The animation is spot on for me. Love me some Second Doctor

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Those in the non-binary umbrella can be either, neither or both.

To say otherwise is discriminatory. Sadly, our government is determined to ensure trans and non-binary people have what little rights they have stripped from them.

Absolutely disgusting news here at the moment and I see cis gendered Men and Women backing it.
For what it's worth this cis gendered man does NOT
Just because of what some court says it will not change the fact my cousin is a woman & I will support her and those like her as much as I can

Had a great time earlier this week meeting @chrischibnall.bsky.social and listening to him talk about his book Death at the White Hart.
Just finished the book and it's the definition of a page-turner with really well fleshed out and distinctive characters that leave you wondering "whodunit?"

A little #StarTrek poem for today

Doctors wear blue
Set phasers to stun
And watch out for Q

When you get to Manchester Piccadilly and realise you have zero time to get to the outpost platforms 😂
It's actually not that bad but people like to get dramatic about it and maybe I have occasionally 😂

Just downloaded the latest George Cross book to my kindle. I can't wait to get back to this great crime series
Well this is a nice start to 2025 - ‘One of the most iconic British detectives of the twenty first century… packed with detail and Cross’s ability to sense a lie, it’s a delight.’ The Daily Mail yesterday on The Bookseller published on January 16th. Thank you Geoffrey Wansell.

As it's David Bowie day, I thought I'd offer a little guide to how best to tackle his occasionally chaotic discography. A thread. 🧵

PS. MOST this is available digitally but I'll flag where physical formats are a bit tricksy too.

The first 1:00 of my audition for Captain Gabriel Lorca about… 7 years ago??? I think you’ll see why they hired the right guy when they went with Jason. In fact, when my representatives told me who they hired, my response was, “Fair enough”. @startrek.bsky.social #startrek

Absolutely. It's a running joke in my family when I quote Shakespeare etc "so which Star Trek is that from?" 😁

30 years today since Star Trek Generations was released. Is that a good enough excuse to watch it?

Despite training to be a journalist, and spending years doing PR/marketing work, most of my creative endeavours wrapped up by the end of 2019 and I've only had a couple of short, unpaid commissions since.

But I do miss it, and would love to get back into writing professionally. Hire me, folks.
Re. #40forForty - A big part of why I did this insane countdown is because it gave me a reason to 'sort of' write again, to deadline, and to a strict word count limitation.

Is it my best work? Of course not. But I hope it brought some of you some joy as I tried to be clever in a small space.

Now I've decided to really give this thing a go, I'm going to have a little revamp...
