Honestly this is my dream, but as somebody with chronic impostor syndrome I still can't quite believe it. AUTOMATIC NOODLE is a finalist for the Hugo, the Locus, and the Nebula awards. Thank you so much to everyone who voted. I am flustered but very happy!!
There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

In the UK the NHS is absolutely overwhelmed, but the government has tightened the eligibility criteria for free Covid vaccination to the point that only a small minority of the population is eligible. Offering free vaccination to everyone would be an easy win here

OH HEY
Also, feels important to mention these days that this indie film was made by humans.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Every flag should feature a mythical animal. Notice how the roundabouts aren't being painted in Wales? It's because idiots can't draw a dragon.
Timid and toothless. This has been going on, quiet blatantly, the whole damn time

The courts should stop treating driving bans like they're this big hardship. If you kill or even seriously injure someone while driving, the ban should be for life. Take the bus and cry me a fucking river.
In a nutshell. 😊
Anyway, remember when I told you to shoot me if I ever said I was thinking of writing another book. I’d like to take that back, please…
This smart dog knows about politics, he literally gives a shit.😆😆
Confirmation by Lewis Goodall the media is and always has been biased against Labour
Others have posted this but it needs to be shared far and wide. Goodall's response is telling, it's victim blaming, it's akin to women being told not to wear short skirts and if they do they're asking for it. Absolutely appalling but not really news to many of us who are sick of the media.
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

A photo of a fossilized trilobite. It is oblong in shape, brown in color, and has a multi-segmented body.
It's Trilobite Tuesday! Trimerus is among the planet’s most widely dispersed trilobite genera. The specimen pictured here is from England’s Wren’s Nest locale. Though complete specimens of Trimerus are a rare find, fully-articulated examples measuring ~7.1 in (18 cm) in length have been uncovered.

Getting my elderly mother a subscription to Private Eye last Christmas 'because I know you like Ian Hislop on TV' has been way more effective at reducing her right-wing rants than several years of effort by me & my siblings. Cheers Ian
On an adventure!!!! And one I’ve dreamed of for as long as I can remember!!
