@foremanwrites.bsky.social Watching Race Across The World and Sarah just said The Thing! "Their mums must be so proud of them..." 😄

In the park, I saw a giant little orphan Annie. (Rules on what constitutes a book are blurry in the London borough of Lewisham.)

There's an excellent pro-NHS joke in 28 Years Later The Bone Temple too.

Publication day news! I am so thrilled. No One Talks About This Stuff, my "support group in a book" for everyone going through the utter hell of infertility, is out on audiobook today.

You can buy it here, or listen for free by ordering it from your local library www.audible.co.uk/pd/No-One-Ta...

Text reading: "I do have no idea what the third one will be about, which is refreshing. I found that coda pretty uninteresting, so I imagine it will just be about Spike doing his GCSEs. They have to venture to the mainland to find a sports hall that they can lay out for proper exam conditions and train Samson to shush. 28 Years Invigilator."

Extremely mild spoilers, from my Bone Temple review.

Woah!

I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you are not trespassing or violating a lawful order. You should not interfere with the actions of the government officials you are recording. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

"If you interact with ICE in public: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk away. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere."

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.

We said the same!

Excellent Jockeys category, that.

Going to put this in my work's Policies folder and rename it "AI Policy".

We could go with "Proper Publication Day"? 🤷

A phone notification from Channel 4 that reads "New and recommended for you, Tom. We think you may like Drugs in Prison".

I'm good, thanks for thinking of me.

I no longer have a social life.
