Niche post, for other freelance writers. Just phoned the ALCS to see if there was a loophole re newspaper articles (which the photocopier fairies still don't pay out for) if they're replicated online by other sites, such as AOL or MSN etc. Nope. Saved you a phone call.

By which I mean, something Golden Girls adjacent with more savoury snacks and even more gaiety.

Is the daily urge to found a commune real? Yes. Borne of a desire to live in community with people I love.

Learned the term ‘Necronomy’ today and wishing it wasn’t so horribly descriptive or grounded in real events. Grim neologism.

Taking great delight in cleaning my filthy desk. It is harbouring new life.

Lavender Menace, Gays the Word, Book Woman…I’ve fallen in love with so many LGBTQIA bookshops. They’re places of joy and resistance, good coffee and even better books. Support 🌈 stories and businesses by sharing this Starter Pack. go.bsky.app/G321HCf

I’ll be touring in London, Oxford and the made-up sounding Bury St Edmunds this week :) Usual terrors: nobody will turn up, I’ll forget to pack enough pants, I’ve forgotten what my book is actually about.

Please don't forget about us trans people. Facing the worst attack on our rights in this country due to Labour's current transphobia. Don't forget my community. That's all I ask. Please.

Happy Monday! Please tell me a nice thing you have coming up this well. I’ll start. Some Nerines have blown into my garden and self-seeded and I hope they’ll flower before I head off on a wee book tour from Weds.
