I have a short story out w/ the brilliant @fictivedream.bsky.social . Glad that this piece — originally part of my novel — has found a home. Thanks to FD for selecting it.

It looks so class, thank you 🙏

Latest for @lwlies.com is up here. On race and class and money in the basketball movie. Thanks as always to @hannahstrong.co.uk for the go-ahead and gorgeous artwork.

Pure Termite.

Yessss

Cc: @willsloanesq.bsky.social I quoted you on the @jokermen.bsky.social pod in this piece; thought it might be of interest!

In fact @broganjmorris.bsky.social , @daveyjenkins.bsky.social also has a piece on M&A up on LWL today, in case you needed further evidence.

Yes Bro, long time! You definitely should watch Masked & Anonymous. It's actually on iplayer right now. Get on it man, glad to see you're still writing too.

Fuck yes

Dylan in the Movies As Timothée Chalamet stars in A Complete Unknown, we assess Bob Dylan's idiosyncratic on-screen presence.

Started one of these to promote some recent work/news. First up — & seeing as it's out today — I wrote this about Bob Dylan's on-screen life, to tie in with #ACompleteUnknown . Thanks to @hannahstrong.co.uk for greenlighting this dream piece @lwlies.com lwlies.com/articles/dyl...
