‘I was mostly inspired by my own climate anxiety and how insane the world is’, said @orsorrel.bsky.social on Apocalypse Cow 🐄

Evidently haven't opened bluesky in over a month but thank you so much! ❤️

Fiancée: Can you believe we're getting married in 12 days? Are we sure we're grown up enough?

Me, attaching a Frozen-themed child's toothbrush head to my electric toothbrush while wearing a T-shirt and no pants: Yes.

Two cows apocalypses are better than one? 👀🐮🔥

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

Thank you so much to the book club members at @tmwslibrary.bsky.social for longlisting Apocalypse Cow ❤️🐮❤️

Thank you so much to @societyofauthors.bsky.social for the £2k grant I received today to help write my 2nd masterpiece! ❤️
It was really easy to apply for and it's really nice that I can eat now! One of many reasons to be a member of the SoA 📚. #SoAGrants

Totally stoked! #ElectricLife won the #BristolTeenBookAward. Such a great day, meeting fabulous students and the excellent shortlisted authors @anikahussainwrites.bsky.social @orsorrel.bsky.social and #GavinExtance. Get a load of my smug mug.

Thanks so much @stephenjdilley.bsky.social 😁🐮

The #BranfordBoaseAward Longlist for 2025 is out! A 20-strong list with an apocalyptic theme coursing through it…⚡️⛈️💥🐮

❤️❤️❤️ I wrote AC because Jo told me to

A series of children’s book covers entitled Branford Boase Award Longlist 2025

Big up to the four @bathspauni.bsky.social MA grads on the Branford Boase longlist, especially my UoB PhD student Ash Bond and @orsorrel.bsky.social whose hilarious Apocalypse Cow will always hold a very special place in my heart.

So, when are Zuskerberg having that cage fight, then?

Yay! Here is a crown for you too 👑 I am pretending that won't happen and it's all done and dusted 👀

Feels rude that when you complete your self-assessment a full NINETEEN DAYS ahead of the deadline, all you're awarded with is a submission ID and silence.

Where's my confetti? Why did no one bring me a cake and tell me I did a really good job?

Spending 2025 being unhinged but like, fun. Funhinged.

Just finished reading Sea Spinners by @luwrites.bsky.social 😍 a wonderful story full of adventure, myth and dark magic. I loved it 😍 available from independent bookshops and the river place

We're continuing our look back at 2024 with a spotlight on our #ReadingTogether campaign.

With the support of all the Waterstones #ChildrensLaureates, we shared our action plan to support families to become regular reading families in the early stages of a child's life. (1/5) 👇

Tis the season 🌲

My Canadian partner physically can't separate Love Actually and The Holiday, nor can she remember their names.

She referred to the favoured classic Christmas romance, "Wife Swap."

She was talking about Love Actually.

Check your library's website to see what they can give you access to! My local one has Libby and Borrowbox so I get a ton of audiobooks.
