Feed I have never seen this many bodies dead bodies burned bodies bodies cinder blocked bodies haunted bodies long limbed bodies ripped from skin bodies never was I seeking seeing bodies my feed a feed of bodies bleeding dismembered bodies infant bodies immolated bodies starved bodies bodies finding my look-away eyes bodies beneath bombs signed Love America bodies turned to rubble bodies of kids bodies of fire bodies who once gazed out of sunswept sunset windows and smiled bodies obliterated bodies no longer identified I guiltily stir my tea all they find are the teeth

I wrote this over a year ago, why is it just as relevant today? Daily heartbreak 😞💔

As the world bears witness to Israel's deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, the Knesset yesterday voted overwhelmingly to annex the West Bank.

It is a moral imperative for our government to immediately recognise the State of Palestine. History will not forgive us.

This story is so dystopian, using anti-terror legislation to arrest a man for holding up a cartoon from a beloved national magazine at a peaceful demo. I really lost it though when the police got the suspect's name after finding his "senior bus pass"

A sudden dramatic shift in the BBC's coverage.

Why?

Because everybody knows that the utter calamity engulfing Gaza is going to be impossible to hide.

For the Guilty Men of the media: you all had ample warning for 21 months!

You did this! Everything that now happens is on you.

Brilliant 👏👏

Me: what a strange thing to do considering the historical dominance of male stories due to the patriarchy.
Also me: omg that looks like the perfect place to submit my novel to.

A ★★★★ review of A Real Pain (2024) Could have, maybe, done with being a bit longer but, at the same time, it kind of said all it needed to, and did that really well.

A ★★★★ review of The Order (2024) While set in the eighties, this is clearly also about the threat of white supremacy since and currently. Showing two routes, too, was interesting - revolution through terrorism and 'lawful' infiltrati...

I killed a spider Not a murderous brown recluse Nor even a black widow And if the truth were told this Was only a small spider Sort of papery spider Who should have run When I picked up the book But she didn't And she scared me And I smashed her I don't think I'm allowed To kill something Because I am Frightened.

It was incredibly exciting going to @waterstones.bsky.social in Nottingham to see The Trillion Dollar Conman alongside so many fantastic books. It's been a whirlwind month since the book's release. A big thanks for all the great feedback! #books #newrelease www.waterstones.com/book/the-tri....
