No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Reform UK's Suella Braverman promises ‘consequences’ if pupils don’t sing Christian hymns. That would be policed. So what happens to atheists, agnostics, non-believers and other religious denominations. Will they be persecuted, imprisoned? Reform UK getting desperate and bizarre.

Reform UK has said schools will face ‘consequences’ if they fail to make pupils regularly sing hymns and the national anthem under a Reform government. The party’s education spokesperson, Suella Brave...

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about my experiences with being trashed in the media, and I think it’s interesting that the scientists who believed the bad press about me never noticed that the only colleagues who said bad things about me were men And they didn’t question why that was

Anyway I guess that dude was unhappy that I made fun of him and his friends in this piece and maybe that’s why he said mean things about me to a “journalist” Congrats to him on finally having the spine to be a dick in public tho medium.com/@chanda/very...

He was just mad I dared to correct him. Emails from men telling me how bad I was was so common at the time that I wrote them a multiple choice questionnaire to help them fill out the email: medium.com/@chanda/very...

This is a collection. I have sorted it as a collector does, somewhat arbitrarily and idiosyncratically: by type, by mood, by theme, by function. All the Aliens together. The Mother’s over here. The Resistors in this pile. The Admirers over there. A stack of Broken Taboos. A heap of Nuclear Holocaust

People are dunking on this, but it's a perfectly sensible question. I think the answer is "Yes, but less than you might think", as we've often just given ourselves more work to do as a result. e.g. the washing machine led us to wash clothes much more often.

Has the UN really given up on stopping climate change? Are we really going to pass the 1.5 degrees C threshold? If so, what does that mean? And is there still hope for the future? #climatechange #ecosystem #climatecrisis #greenhousegases #globalwarming youtu.be/cCx52eIpBxg?...

I suspect it's just the way it is now. Threads never appealed (more Zuckerberg, basically)

I am in the UK, yes. Bluesky has been a big disappointment, in all honesty. Yes, it's more ethical than Twitter became, but mostly people aren't engaging much. No clue why. I have tried and tried.

I think it's just the sense of invisibility and of being meaningless that gets to me.

Shocking. No arrests? At a major port? And yet the Rev Sue Parfitt (in her 80’s) was arrested for sitting in a road to try to save lives in a #climateemergency #descentintofascism Paul King, Reform UK councillor for Dover West, said he had been told it was a "stop the boats protest"

The government says it condemns "the behaviour in Dover" and the hours-long disruption it caused.

Dear Burnham Labour government, There are uniformed fascists on the streets of Dover. You have done and said f*** all so far. Not good enough. You'll lock up pro-Palestinian grannies and young climate activists - but you ignore fascist thugs. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Can art help us heal? Do dreams point the way? I’ve shared this amazing project with many people I know, directing them to Martha’s dream archive and encouraging them to participate! I hope to write something based on a dream later this fall. Go Martha!

Coral is growing back on the Great Barrier Reef. Cover in the northern section rose from 30% to 35.1% between 2025 and 2026 and in the central section from 28.6% to 31.6%, both now above the long-term average. theconversation.com/reef-relief-...

I also lack these days the feeling that my writing matters. The world has moved on; I see that. My stories were only ever just my stories. Nothing epic, earth-shattering, paradigm shifting. Just my stories, that I once used to tell to myself in quiet moments or before sleeping. There's some-

-like I am like the Cheshire Cat, but with less mirth. To sell books, you need one of two things, at least. The first is a name that is already famous. Lacking that, you need a lot of energy and imagination to create content that draws in readers. Oh and an advertising budget. I lack all these.

I've not been posting much here beyond my daughter's environment videos. Partly because I just don't seem to get any engagement and partly because my health issues are leaving me without any real oomph or mojo to try and engage. Likewise, anything connected with my books. I'm fading away, it feels-

My standard reply to all ai book scammers that I am a practicing witch and placing a curse on them unless they cease their wicked ways. Highly recommend this strategy to other writers & publishing folk. Twice now I've had scammers email back to ask me to lift the curse.
