My main takeaway from watching The Traitors is that Catherine O’Hara was fully playing Jerry Hall in Schitt’s Creek and it was *perfection*.

The most seen I’ve ever felt was when Amy in Brooklyn 99 brags about how well she cleans her teeth and then it turns out she’s overbrushed them so much she has, like, seventeen cavities. (This post brought to you by me examining my ever-receding gumline.)

I had a very intense day at work (this is an understatement), followed by a very intense bedtime with my daughter who is anxious because she’s been off school sick for a few days, followed by a very intense episode of The Bear and now I’m in bed like

I mean, is there actually a songwriter who writes better songs when they’re happy than they write when they’re sad? Because I can’t think of one, but I can think of MANY who have done the opposite. This is not a problem unique to TSwift.

Top three signs that my mental health is not quite where it should be: 1. Working late or through lunch 2. Asking my other half if he’ll make dinner (usually my way of winding down for the evening) 3. Cutting my own fringe

Listen, nobody’s job is perfect, but sometimes I really can’t quite believe I get paid to do something so fun. Yesterday I got to proof a short story by @avaglassbooks.bsky.social that was so good I literally punched the air when I finished reading it.

I’m watching For All Mankind purely because I have seen @gregjenner.bsky.social recommend it so many times, and halfway through ep 1 I can confirm that he’s right. Apple TV just has a quality to their shows that the other streamers haven’t quite hit on.

Honestly I can’t believe I’m even having to post this, but there we are. Never underestimate the potential creepiness of a rejected man. And yes, I’m nervous that posting this will make it worse, but also I don’t think it’s fair that I should have to be silent in the face of those accusations.

I’ve blocked and reported him, and I believe he’s now deleted the posts, but if you see anyone posting those sorts of accusations, please know that they are vengeful in origin and entirely untrue. Please also let me know so I can keep track for police involvement.

The night before last he made an account on here – the only place I didn’t already have him blocked – and posted several messages accusing me of cheating on my fiancé and having a Tinder account (obviously not true).

I went on one (1) date with a guy four (4!) years ago – before I met my fiancé – and did not want to see him again. He did not react well and I had to eventually tell him to stop contacting me (via various channels) or I would involve the police.

This thread is *excellent*. I work in publishing and I feel exactly the same. I work equally hard on every title I publish. Any “hit” I’ve ever worked on has had some kind of lucky break play a very big part in its success.

I have moisturised my feet every day, at least once a day, without fail, since I was about 12. Do I have very soft skin on my feet? Yes, yes I do. Do I get blisters from just about any pair of shoes I ever wear? YES, YES I DO.

Hello! I'm once again on the road, and if you are in the UK I will most likely be stalking you in your town shortly. So, please make it easier for me by coming to one of my events! I'll be talking books, politics, and spies with some brilliant people, and you are welcome to join us.

That sounds like a perfect rate to me – 1-2lbs a month is all that’s really sustainable so you’re doing it right! (And don’t feel guilty – I actually think it’s so important for men to talk about body image and acknowledge that those issues exist for you too ❤️)

TW weight loss: today I have reached a 100lb / 7 stone / 45kg weight loss in total. It’s taken 4 years and it’s been on and off, but I’ve done it and my life is immeasurably better for it. I still have a little way to go, but I just wanted to be proud of myself for a moment.

He looked slightly sheepish and said “it means it’s very hot, it’s from a TV show I used to watch”. His daughter’s wearied eyeroll made ME feel old, never mind him.

I’m sitting outside the Southbank centre with a very cold soda and lime, people-watching. A man just walked past with his two primary-aged kids and said “Scorchio!” ala The Fast Show – complete with jazz hands – at which they both looked at him like he was a lunatic.

You know that thing when a new book comes out and it's a hardback and you think "that's a bit expensive for me. I think i'll wait for the paperback to come out" Me too. Which is why I do a thing called "When's the paperback coming out". bit.ly/3k932C7

The Odyssey in IMAX was very tiring. Perhaps that was the point. Anyway, mostly I thought it should have been a 22 episode TV show instead because then there might have been time to care about something other than the dog (which absolutely did make me cry).
