"—and my parental unit just wants me to bud off the additional mass so I can go back to being one of those skinny slime girls like all the rest," G'lla said, her epidermis now a pleasant amber and sloshing gently against Mhari. "But I like me! All of me! I don't—I'm not even ready for parenthood!"

"You smell like blueberries," Mhari said, pulling G'lla closer. "Can you metabolize ethanol?"
"My species can metabolize anything," G'lla said, deflating slightly. Mhari was very warm. Exothermic. "That's the problem. I absorb too much. Exceed mass standards."
"Let's absorb some beer. My treat."

"Release my jubbubles!" G'lla said indignantly. Her skin flushed magenta.
Mhari of Earth did not. She squeezed harder.
"Is everyone from your planet this thicc?" she asked.
"It—it is common for my species to store excess chemical energy," G'lla said, turning crimson. "But I am above average."

Yup.
Look at the dregs who've had Cabinet posts in that period.
There must be some idealistic souls, albeit they're outliers, pilloried for their idealism or - shock - offering policies that are well beyond the pale. Mhari Black was one such. Totally burned out, disillusioned, quit.

me neither but maybe I haven't found the right one? I'm reading Cover Story by Mhari McFarlane and it's good so far. It has realistic enemies to lovers and fake couple tropes. I'm 30% in and anxious for them to get to fucking. I can't wait until they have their first fight!
ya know... maybe i'm just not an urban romance novel kinda girl.

I volunteer in a charity bookshop and have also been a bit dismissive, despite liking this genre when I was young. But yesterday I sold Jenny, Sophie and Mhari and I think I'll do a special display, accompanying it with some text from this article.

I have only read and heard of Problematic Summer Romance. But I have read and enjoyed several books by Mhari McFarlane so I’m interested in that one.

Don’t forget Mhari Aurora. She thought her ‘Labour-bashing’ days were over after her ‘Labour-bashing’ chum Burley left. She’s now found a new lease of life.

Also @cstross.bsky.social appears to be a pretty standup dude overall.
I particularly liked the perspectives from the New Management trilogy, and him going back to write some stories from the perspective of Mhari from the first Laundry Files book.

Farridge makes no attempt to answer Mhari Aurora. #bbcpm
Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

"even your question is the problem" Farage scolds Sky News' Mhari Aurora (as @sturdyalex.bsky.social said, she was the only black person at the event) after she asked him if he was "anti-worker" given his plans to weaken workers rights. One for #strongmessagehere to look at, @aiannucci.bsky.social?
Incidentally, I don't think I notice a black person at that event, other than Aurora. And this is the second time recently she gets booed at one of their pressers.
