So here's something I honestly didn't know before: a heck of a lot of standup comedians are still editing/writing their show the night before. I honestly just thought I was just shit and unorganized. I mean, I probably AM shit and unorganized but I don't think the shows are. Mostly.

I made it onto a pick of the Fringe list 💖💖💖 super flattered and a bit scared. Now I REALLY have to make sure it's a good show

What Unbound’s demise has shown, to a quite alarming degree, is how little tangible, active advocacy is available to authors in this situation, say the authors affected by the collapse of Unbound in our recent Comment piece 👇 #BookSky

That idea where there's a mini tutorial for people who haven't picked up the game in a while: but for literally anything in the Adobe Suite. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Yes! We did the work to crowdfund from backers who believed in us and our writing. Unbound/Boundless stole that money Even me who pulled my rights am owed part of the 50/50 split of the overfunding. Where the hell did all that cash go? They won't give us a straight answer and it's infuriating.

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

Gonna burn some bridges and talk about Unbound, since it's unlikely that they'll sue me at this point. They seem to have spent money that was supposed to go towards royalty payments, expecting money to come in, which then didn't bsky.app/profile/laur... (thread) #unboundless

Thankfully, I got my rights back last week after months of practically begging. Hoping Boundless don't make things harder for authors trying to get their rights back now. Mr Mitchinson has walked off into the sunset while authors relying on being paid can't afford to live. It's not okay.

The pyramid scheme publishers Unbound [now Boundless] have finally gone live with their new website so take this opportunity to find out what they've done with all of your pledged money.

THREAD. Last year, the publisher of my most recent books, Unbound, stopped paying its authors money contractually owed for earned royalties and advances. Again and again, we were promised, falsely, that the money would soon be with us...

My gut feeling is that the best way to respond to a hideously ungenerous act - e.g. a publisher who still owes you a five figure sum and who has taken a much bigger sum from your readers and, in its new guise, is refusing to refund it - is not with a spiteful one but a generous one. Hence: this.

#Boundless (with two former #Unbound managers in their senior team) has not refunded Unbound pledge money or paid authors money already earned. Something to consider before signing with Boundless. However much you want to get published, however great a company seems, this kind of mess can happen.

Editor note in my book edit: "there's a lot of calling characters dickheads, wankers and gits in this section. Might be good to tone it down a bit.' You can take the bloke out of The North...

Does anyone actually do anything between Xmas a new year? How? If I know a delivery is coming at 4pm, I hyper fixate can't do anything productive at all until it shows up. It's kind of like that with new Year for me 😅

I tried to replicate my rat (pictured) Truffle Oil M.D.'s look of forlorn confusion he uses so often. Think I smashed it tbh

Question: What was the weird word you used at primary school when someone was about to get in trouble? We had "Ommers", with the "er" sound made longer depending on how much the kid had fuked up. I grew up in North Yorkshire. Interested to hear if it's different in other parts of the UK <3

I've been considering a SFW onlyfans where I can be candid, but I think my rat Tagliatelle needs to make a thirst trap one. Look at how majestic and dreamy he is. Absolute heartbreaker. Utter leather jacket of a rat.

Adopted this rabbit 2 years ago. @nostalgianerd.com took her while I was recovering from illness...and accidentally ended up adopting her. She's currently fuming at him because he won't give her another apple slice. This is a bun strop. It's cute when it's happening to someone else, isn't it 🥰

In all seriousness, why does anyone drink tequila? It's like a tree threw up.

Just spent four hours putting up sound panels because the main troubleshooting consideration had to be "can a rat climb up this and pull it down/stash in it/make a gross wall nest" and as it turns out the answer is usually "yes."

Remember these sweets? Body Parts. My mum used to get them for my brother and I for after dinner snacks. Around the same time they released some shaped like bugs that released sugar juice when bitten into, loved them. Can't stomach the idea of that now. It's almost like kids are psychopaths.

I've started writing another show to take to Fringe next year. Actually, two of them. Liquorice has been helping by sitting on my shoulder and boggling.
