(I mean on the YouTube comments:)

As I said on the video, I love how it goes from really quiet at home to noisy chaos at Supanova. Pjs for the win after a long day! It was a fun weekend but now I need some antisocial time. :)

With #Artemis2 still in our minds, we sat down this evening to finally watch Hidden Figures. What a fantastic movie and inspirational story, everyone should give it a watch.

A fortune teller of ways to die in Willow Close by @helenafiction.bsky.social and Staerstone by me! I designed these using Procreate.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Niiiice.

Ooh wow! Really varied.

Ooh are they quite crimpy?

Nice!

It doesn’t look like they bite… maybe just if you grabbed it.

Yes it did hurt but it didn’t break the skin! It was just bruised kinda.

Yeah like most Aussie animals they have a bad rap but aren’t likely to hurt you although they can if they want to :)

I don’t think so.

That’s so cute. I wonder what it does if it catches you. Takes a bite? I’ve been bitten by a blue tongue … it wouldn’t let go lol.
