Today is International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Honestly every day should be, but our leaders are still largely failing in a way we will one day read about in history books. Write to your MPs / representatives, donate where you can, and keep the movement alive. #freepalestine

A woman in a keffiyeh and young boy underneath an olive tree, in an olive grove. The sun is setting. Text reads "Never again"

The same trees, abandoned, burned to stumps and charred branches. The keffiyeh is tied to one branch, and blows in the breeze. The sunset is blood red. Text reads: "is right now."

I keep having this image in my head of #Masterchef doing a Chinese cookery special, and the voice of Terence Stamp (as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert), saying: "That's just what this country needs: A cock. In a sock. With a wok."

"Doing it to protect the kids" is nothing of the sort. Banning puberty blockers for trans kids is just cruelty of ignorance and indifference.

Question: Once I get properly started, there are a few things I'm likely to post about. Do you think I should have separate accounts for some? - Audiobook narration, Storytelling & Voice acting - Larps, RPGs & boardgames - Politics (Socialist, Woke AF) - Learning Finnish - Random smart-arse remarks

Wow! I go away for a weekend of larping, and have a load of new followers when I return! I see lots of folk I don't know personally; writers, fellow narrators... Welcome! I like the vibe here ATM, so following everyone back. Once I get my head on straight, I will try to post something worth reading!

Statement of principle: If a company uses AI to generate creative work of any kind, and if I'm aware of it, I won't buy their product. If a social media post has AI artwork I will either scroll straight past it or delete it. This may well be fart-in-a-hurricane territory, but I stand by it.

#FolktaleWeek Day 1: Mist! ☁️ Thought I'd try a comic interpretation of the prompt, involving my characters Blodwen and Twm. #kidlitart #folktaleweek2024 #comics

Comic (blue and yellow colours):
-A misty figure in the forest.
-A close-up as the figure reaches out and calls; "Blodwen"
-Blodwen looks up in confusion; "Who-?" She squints, and the mist covers her eyes.
-"Wait!", she calls, and runs after the misty figure, disappearing into the woods.

Comic continued:
-A cat claw scratches Blodwen's leg, with a SKLIT!
-Blodwen yells in pain, then looks down.
-Twm, a black cat, looks up and says; "Following voices into the mist now?"
-Blodwen sits down nursing her leg. "I thought I heard..."
-Twm's face looks severe. "So did they."

Comic final panel:
-Twm places their paw on a skull in the undergrowth, with plants growing in and around it.

Authors irritate me sometimes, by putting a line in place of part or all of a name or title. Even if they use it in full elsewhere! Thomas Paine is getting on my nerves this morning with the following: King = King K___ = also King England = England E______d = England E___ = England ____ = The Pope

I have a memory, when I was at uni, of using half a bottle of Viakal to try to clean the limescale from our toilet and getting nowhere (Dunno why; I wasn't a very house-proud student!) Why did no one tell me you just need to pour vinegar and baking powder in there? Oh yes. No World Wide Web in 1992.

A quick plug for my incredibly talented offspring, who (among much other artwork) has designed several audiobook covers for my fellow narrator, the wonderful Nano Nagle! Amelie is available for commissions. Follow them to get gorgeous, quirky, queer artwork regularly on your timeline!

I've just come here this morning to remind myself not to waste time doomscrolling on here, as I have work to do, and my productivity has been shockingly poor this week, with Facebook and YouTube Shorts both having trapped me into doomscrolling loops on previous occasions! Happy Friday, by the way.

Today I go on submission with my latest PB dummy! It's always a long shot, but here's hoping Albie's story is well-received 🤞 It's also at times like these I'm particularly thankful to have a super supportive agent 📚🎨 #kidlitart #kidlit

Paper-cut collage. A red and yellow armadillo watching with shock as a blue/purple/greenish starling flies overhead. Text "SWOOP!" follows the flight path of the starling.

Goodness. Eleven months since I posted on here, but it does feel like there is a surge of movement in this direction, so it feels like time to start engaging, one way or another. So, as the Lightbringers would say: "Good greetings in ill times, friends."

Bing's search results have become absolutely bollocks since they started integrating their new AI toys into it. I just wanted to check the lyrics of a Sheryl Crow song, and all Bing gave me was a load of recommendations for therapy and psychoanalysis. Google got it on the first result.

Today's Dostoevsky fix was rather different from his usual fare. A farcical tale of a jealous husband who walks into an apartment on a moral crusade, to find himself alone with a woman whose husband is coming up the stairs. He dives under her bed, only to find another man already there!

The 2.5 months are going to be spent pretty much entirely narrating Dostoevsky. Oh. My. God. He is so depressing. Today: A man describes the events leading to his wife's suicide. Tuesday: A man has an OK job and is going get married. Unused to this level of joy, he goes permanently insane.

So, what should I do with this then? When I joined Twitter and FB, it was entirely to promote myself as a voice actor, but turned into mostly Me Being Angry About Politics. What should this be? Audiobooks? Poetry? Larping & Gaming? Memes & cat pics? Adventures in Learning Finnish? Philosophy? Other?
