Redoing my website, feeling massive respect for professional website builders. Bloody nightmare. Still, having fun finding public domain images like these delightful (appropriately dressed!) weirdos from the "Occupations for Women" trading cards from Goodwin & Company 1887. The Met Collection.

If you're looking for something for Trans Rights Readathon #TRR this hits the spot. Well-written, entertaining, and clever. Lovely relationship arc developing, and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the next collection of stories. CW: Beware the Tiger chapter if you love animals. Read the reviews.

More gorgeous Scotland. New Slains Castle. I thought it would make a great setting for a novel, perhaps a murder or a romance or both! I didn't realise it had a connection to Bram Stoker at the time. #StetWalk #AmEditing

I'm sure I'm behind the curve here, but if you formally object to Meta using your public posts for #AI, they tell you they won't. Not sure if they will, but I feel it's worth the time, even for my piddling amount of data. It is, after all, mine.🤷‍♀️

Letter from Meta re AI: Hi Jenny. We will honour your objection for your public information, such as public posts and comments, and for your messages with AIs.

Not my usual fare, but it was on a stack of books in the bathroom🤷‍♀️ I liked the unnamed hero and his dry, rather cynical pragmaticism (and the mercifully short chapters). The author employs a weirdly whimsical approach to metaphor and simile. My favourite: He was as calm as a Camembert 🤔 #AmReading

Reacting to @kokedit.bsky.social post about the dangers of sitting still for too long, I got one of those clever apps that tell you to 'Move' every hour. Entirely redundant, of course, as I've already got the canine equivalent. Usually, when I've just got my head in the zone... Grrrrr. #AmEditing

Terrific fun. A 1920s spy thriller set in London with all the shady goings-on you can imagine, plenty of tension and a great denouement. The central romance is wonderful and handles complicated issues of boundaries and consent really well IMO. I'll definitely be reading #2. #AmReading #Romancelandia

I had no idea what this book was about for the first few (many) pages, but as I loved every moment of it, it didn't matter. I'm not going into the plot because I think the finding out is the point. Suffice it to say, this is charming, beautifully written and utterly engaging. #AmReading
