I saw a dog in a lion ruff on the beach yesterday and that brought me great joy

A medium size sandy coloured dog with a curly coat, square nose and folded triangular ears is exploring a beach wearing a harness and an orange lion ruff. He has his nose towards the sand and is in the process of moving from one sniff spot to another. The ruff is the whole point

Started a new job, mostly outdoors, with the most training I have ever had to do for a job on the back of a pretty bad mental health episode and I am so tired my brain is trying to escape through my eyes. Safe to say no writing has been done

Don't enter this. You'll lose all rights to your story. Period. Competitions like this need to be called out, so they learn their good reputation shouldn't be used to steal the bread from writers' mouths. And that we're not all clueless rubes waiting to be taken advantage of.

Have two weeks between ending my old job and starting my new one which was gonna be great writing time then came down with the winter bug to beat all winter bugs and now have to sleep sitting up to avoid coughing up my insides. Weirdly enough not feeling inspired

Hard to know what to say watching the recent news from the US from the UK except that in the midst of truly horrifying cruelty and hatred I've seen so many stories of people coming together to fight for each other and care for their communities and that is incredible

New writing routine is: wake up a bit early to write, struggle to wake up, open computer and stare at scrivener, run out of time and have to get ready for work 😂 gah

Every time I have a long train journey I think I'll get loads of writing done and then inevitably don't because it's cramped and there are people near me which apparently turns off my creative mind entirely but I did manage 4 handwritten pages in an 8 hour journey. Unsure if that's a win

This is the ass of a killer bella

A zoomed in picture of a woman's tote bag sitting on a blue train seat. The tote is cream and a stylized Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen is slut dropping in heels and a rainbow thong in front of a two tone blue heart. You can only read the word bella below him but the tote says 'this is the ass of a killer bella'

I've managed roughly four sentences of writing and three submissions this week and got a couple of rejections which have felt particularly rough on top of a week of ✨anxiety✨. Petition to restart the year in Feb?

First two reads of the year (both half finished): The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older on audiobook. This series has been such a nice easy, comforting one for me and is perfect in the little mental health blip I'm having and has been getting me through the last week.

I said I finished a story all proud of myself and my dad thought I had finished my novel and got excited and I had to tell him I have not in fact finished that which kinda cut the finished story high short BUT I finished something I think shoes growth so time to get rejected some more!

A love letter to public libraries: I'm in a new town waiting for my girlfriend to finish work. I have three bags I need to finish work too. The public library here is beautiful and has a community area and computer area both in solid use and loads of books and a free coffee machine ❤️ more of this!

I would have said nothing tanks your ability to write like the looming end of a six month contract and the depressing cycle of applications and rejections and then I added antidepressant withdrawals (brain zaps, parathesia and mood swings anyone?) to the mix 😂

Any time Tories start blaming Labour for the wretched state of *insert topic of the day*, it's crucial we recall who got us here with 14 years of cuts and privatisation, wrecking public services and social support systems. (Many other valid reasons to criticise the current government are available)

Every TERF is like 'birds and bees, it's easy, folks' and (almost) every scientist actually working on questions of sex is like 'oof guys, what can I tell you, I have been working on this question for 52 years, and frankly, I know less and less every year' theconversation.com/world-athlet...

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990

World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Screaming into an echo chamber I know but I beg people to remember the value of human thought, creativity, and connection, and deep and slow analysis. This has inherent value. Even if gen AI could effectively replace these (it can't right now) it SHOULDN'T. For me that that's almost more important

Looking for book recs contemporary fantasy (or similar types of sci-fi or even horror) that's preferably not uber sexist and not heavy on the 'I'm such a sarcastic badass voice'. Romance is fine but I'm not looking specifically for romance. Not YA #bookrecommendations #fantasy #contemporaryfantasy

One of my mum's swimming friends in her 70s absolutely rocks her bikini for her daily swims (year round, waves or no waves). I, a much younger human, consider her a badass icon and think she looks fabulous. Every time I see an older woman defy this bullshit it warms my heart and gives me hope

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychology—unlike most MPs—I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t “incentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP
