My hospital plays classical music on hold. Given that every time I’ve ever called I’ve been so completely stressed out and/or in tears, just hearing it now - even when I thought I was fine - is putting me on edge. Yeah, I’ve been Clockwork Orange’d.

39 years ago, the Yes, Prime Minster episode 'A Victory for Democracy' was aired. Nothing changes.

James Hacker: Humphrey, I'm worried.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Oh, what about, Prime Minister?
James Hacker: About the Americans.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Oh yes, well, we're all worried about the Americans.

Favourite talk of the day, "The World Needs Your Novel" with Amie McNee & James Winestock! #LFOW25

Standout wisdom - from Aime is to believe "I'm worth being witnessed for what I create."

And from James, "Reject me, don't reject me, I'm still going to be writing my books."

❤️❤️❤️

JK Rowling said asexual people don't face discrimination. She couldn't be more wrong. - LGBTQ Nation Asexual people are face the violence of forced cures as well as the mockery of people like Rowling.

J.K. Rowling said asexual people don’t face discrimination. She couldn’t be more wrong.

My article for @lgbtqnation.com is out now! I discuss all the various ways that asexual people face discrimination and violence, like corrective rape and conversion therapy.

My friend Garrett once absolutely skewered a guy for saying something sexist, and when someone else tried to defend him by saying 'he's just saying it to get a reaction' Garrett followed with 'well this is the reaction, is anyone enjoying it?'

The sexist was silent the rest of the night.

Please Don’t Idolize Me (or Anyone, Really) In the wake of the various recent allegations involving Neil Gaiman, people have been both very sad that someone who they looked up to as an inspiration has, allegedly, turned out to be something l…

Just got sent this article written by John Scalzi - another author I admire (read Redshirts - it's amazing). But he's right.

Funny, I've spent 15 years in television production. I've met actors, artists, celebrities, sportsmen... did not care a jot. But authors have always been different for me.

I believe the Vulture article about Gaiman. Throughout my life, I've revered the authors who create incredible new worlds & characters to love. And now...I’ve heard ‘separate the creator from their creation’ so often I could spit. No one explains how to deal with the unaccountable sense of betrayal.
