@patersonjoseph.bsky.social I’ve just finished your incredible novel. I’ve been unable to write creatively for months but *this* has given me my spark back.
What a story. The ending in particular - I may have cried. Powerful stuff. (Oh god I’m gushing, yikes)

trans women are women
trans men are men
nonbinary people are nonbinary
and keir starmer is an absolute fuck

BITTERLY disappointed with Labour government thus far.
Welfare/benefits cuts will be more draconian than ye auld Cameron et al governments, so what does that tell you?

On behalf of disabled people and the most vulnerable in our society, I say SHAME ON YOU. SHAME.

On today's #Covid #DayOfReflection remembering the 247,553 people in the UK who died from covid and to all those who grieve for them and for the medical staff who went above and beyond to care for them

Silver lining:

Europe became a Union yesterday.

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.

Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Trump and chums blatant bullying and public humiliation of Zelenskyy was painful.
Absolutely nasty pieces of work. We have toddlers in charge of the States.
That’s not how you do diplomacy.

A mariner once loved a mermaid and on returning home with her to the Staffordshire Moorlands, he settled her in the black waters of Blakemere. When he died, her grief was terrible as alone and far from the sea, she lured young men to a watery death in the black waters of the Mere #WyrdWednesday

At the butterfly centre, this bad boy landed on my hair and wouldn’t get off. 30 mins later he’s still clinging on. We became friends. #Moths #transformation

This is true. And no one is racist about potatoes because it’s a potato. So stop it. #Racism

...saying that, it sort of is Blue Monday in the sense that Trump takes over the presidency today. So that's pretty shit.
#Trumpinauguration

Repeat after me:

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Blue. Monday.

It was a PR stunt 'created' years ago by a travel agency in 2005.

Absolutely, let's talk about mental health. But let's not buy into artificially created shit days.

#BlueMonday #PR #mentalhealth

…. I think I’m going to like it here.
There are people talking about books and sharing cat pictures and being nice to each other.
Also, someone posted a picture of a squirrel.

Please can someone explain to me why Americans seem to be voting for a toxic potato instead of a decent human being.

@naomiclifford.bsky.social oh wow - starstruck! Unfortunate Wretches: Women & The Gallows has been one of my go-tos for novel research. It was delicious and moving both at same time.

It's 02:34 in the UK. There's a full moon. I'm wide awake. Just realising how fooking tense/angsty X seems in comparison to HERE.
Can't possibly sleep now.
I haz exploring to do

Oh blimey! This is like Twitter in the old days!! 😱😱😱🦚😊
