Did drag king esque makeup today for a murder mystery dinner party… or so I thought. Apparently it was subtle enough that some people didn’t notice!

This is inexcusable. Trans and queer people WERE Stonewall. They put their bodies and freedom on the line for all of us. newsisout.com/2025/02/nati...

REMINDER! the word Grimoire (book of magic) comes from the Old French word grammaire, or grammar. The word "spell," like a magical incantation, comes from the Germanic "spel" which means "storytelling."
Be careful with stories! They have power. And so do the people who tell them well

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

an old flatmate of mine had a big old van they moved furniture in. They were also nonbinary. I kept suggesting to them that instead of a man with a van they were a them with a vem. Sadly, the phrasing never took off.

I’m currently in the front of all Foyles stores, pretty much all Waterstones and many indie bookshops across the UK.
I’ve had 1 piece of press and no podcast requests. If that’s not a silencing of queer voices at a time it’s needed I don’t know what is.

My pal @ellenjones.bsky.social has her first book out - it is excellent and very necessary in times where bigotry is used as camouflage for theft and abuse - if you are a podcaster who would like her as a guest I know she is keen to talk about Outrage and much more

A colleague has shamed me for my “messy bookshelves” but I think they’re normal.
Who’s right?
