How to Triumph Like a Girl
I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy, like running 40 miles per hour is as fun as taking a nap, or grass.

I LOVE this tense scene on Murderbot, where lives quite literally depend on its ability to make small talk… really brings home how terrifying small talk is for some of us. 😅

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

I’ve got a joke about Echo, but you’ve probably heard it before
I’ve got a joke about Hephaestus, but it’s forged.
I've got a joke about Agamemnon. It'll make you bath. Sorry: laugh.

#gardening Bluesky I need your best rosemary growing tips PLEASE - I’m losing yet another plant: convinced I’m under some kind of rosemary black thumb curse. One soaked to death in our English wet. One got some kind of spore. Now I’ve no idea what’s wrong. Maybe a bad frost?? Help me! Please 🙏

I dislike the idea of flash as just a shorter, short story beholden to all the rules & constraints of short stories. In that case, it becomes a trick of compression alone, a hurried up, stunted short story that caters to declining attention spans. If you write flash, is that what you're aiming for?

Start a big dumb project that's going to go nowhere. It's fun. It's pointless. It's like gambling with free lottery tickets. Any of this shit you just make up could become a bestseller. Give into the literary hysteria in 2025.

Reading The Little Stranger, Sarah Waters.
Nothing’s really “happening” in the traditional sense of the word, events are gently meandering along. Characters are neither likeable nor unlikeable, and not driving the story. It’s not strongly emotive; closer to quietly unsettling. And yet…

The first “working” day of 2025 and our wifi has borked. Completely dead. Bereft of life. It rests in peace. It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. It is ex-wifi!
And I am not taking this as an omen of the year to come.
