My brand new blog banner has been revealed on my Instagram & Threads accounts — head over there to find out more about the banner itself & when my site will be back online! 🐾
My new blog banner. The background is a dark green with white writing & a paw print logo, where three Ws are placed to look like the claws of the paw. The writing says Writing with Wolves.

The illustration shows a ginger girl sat at a desk with two Alaskan malamutes next to her — one is black & white & the other is grey & white, with striking blue eyes. There are two shelves behind her, one with books & the other with plants — there is bunting with the LGBT+ flag & the disability pride flag. On the wall are embroidery hoops; one shows a castle & the other shows the moon & stars. On one shelf is a teeny tiny Thirteenth Doctor (who is adorable). 

On the desk are lots of items; pens in a pot, a mini TARDIS, sweets, a mug with Holby City written on it, medication bottles, a laptop, a notebook & a small pile of books with a pair of glasses on top. On the laptop are the blog logo & stickers of nail varnish bottles & swimming items. There’s a blue walking stick leaning against the desk.

I’ve decided that my first move to showing off my blog’s new look is updating my photo on here with the site icon, featuring my fresh logo. Still unsure when to relaunch but the site looks so much cleaner than before with the new logo & banner. And the banner has so much of my personality in it 🐾
A round icon that is dark green & gets lighter toward the centre. There is a white single-line drawing of a law print; on top of the toes are three Ws which are positioned to appear like claws. The circle has a white edge.

Today I hit my “12 week goal” on the NHS Weight Loss app; it’s taken much longer than twelve weeks (months!) but with all my health issues, I’m still kinda proud of how much stronger I am, physically. New goal has been set & there’s a small (better) chance I might manage it in ~12 weeks this time 🏊🏻‍♀️

I've said it before elsewhere, but we need to get weirder in science fiction. The same tropes get recycled again and again, but the problem is that science itself is outpacing those tropes. GO WEIRD IN YOUR SCI-FI!!

#TodayImReading The Spice Garden by @prashanthsrivatsa.bsky.social — I started it a few days ago but I’ve been too tired to sit down & read properly so I’m hoping to get really into it tonight ✨ #currentlyreading #amreading #booksky
A photo of a book on a turquoise blanket, with a small blue bowl full of gummy bear sweets. The book is The Spice Gate by Prashanth Srivatsa & at the top of the book it says, “how far would you go to find home?” The cover art shows a stone arch, lit with orange light from within & a purple sky behind. There are sacks of spices on the left side of the arch & a long, small axe on the right. There also appears to be a skull amongst some leaves. The red tassel from my bookmark can be seen.

That the idea of ‘it needs a break’ reflects more on the speaker than the show. Self-renewal is built in to the format and chucking away a potential younger audience is rarely a good idea.

Dear politicians (on both sides of the pond): you cannot fight a philosophy centred on the idea that some people are less human than others by treating some people as less human than others. Fighting a party which supports that philosophy is pointless if in the process you become identical.
