A very over-the-top social media graphic featuring two books: The Haunting of Avis Lovelock and The Needfire, both by MK Hardy. The graphic has large pink glowing text reading "They're both gay!" and a variety of 'lesbian' graphics from canva.com, including several frogs, and a selection of brightly-coloured sparkles and stars.

It really gets my goat when people tell me I may not like AI but it’s here to stay & there’s nothing we can do about it. Yes there is! We don’t have to bow down to every corporate demand! We can fight, regulate, use the law. We can & must ensure this tech benefits humanity & doesn’t dismantle it.

ATOMIC COFFIN by @benedictanning.bsky.social is the Tom Clancy horror novel you didn’t know you needed. In 1984 East Berlin, Heidi Sperling, a British spy, uncovers a hidden USSR underwater base with a terrifying secret. Deep-sea claustrophobia & David Lynch vibes? This is one twisty debut.

a wide graphic, deep sea imagery behind text which reads: "The Shining. In a nuclear submarine. On the edge of the continental shelf at the height of the Cold War, with occasional reference to cats. You can't make this shit up. Fortunately, Benedict Anning can. And he does a damn good job of it."

I was lucky enough to beta read this phenomenal horror novel - believe me, you want to get yourself a copy. A visceral and deeply menacing debut.

Obviously I can't vote in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but my support is 100% behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer. The Labour Party are looking increasingly obsolete, and Reform have increasingly shown their true colours as the party of racist and misogynistic self-interest.
