I'm about halfway through Control Alter Delete by KL Kettle. It's a speculative YA thriller that tackles themes of technology & power.
What would you choose a beautiful untrue life or a broken true one?

This new author care toolkit, explaining a lot of the hidden things about the publishing business, could come in handy for new authors. Haven't had a proper look yet but sharing before I forget! www.thebookseller.com/news/society...
OK, so now I’m reading the news stuff (part of my processing) and reading that [insert name here] said ‘I couldn’t refuse, but who, how, why and when, you’ll just have to wait and see’
I am now full of doubt.
*mug smash*
I have avoided spoilers like the plague! I’m ok with the regen (if bamboozled!) & love a good RTD-WTF! moment. Just processing, grieving. Hard grieving for Ncuti - feel like he just got started. We Whovians were never going to get to keep a talent like that for long, he just too good.

I’ve missed having a screaming (“what!”) at the telly moment. Thanks RTD.
So if engaging JKRs ire is what makes me come out, then here it is.
I’m Asexual.
It’s taken me over 30 years to recognise myself. The challenges are real. I’m quiet about it because that’s my choice.
But if i have to shout it out to stand shoulder to shoulder with my tribe - I will.

It’s been a long day. many world book day workshops; an amazing (AmAZiNG @wordtheatre.bsky.social ) show at the @oldvictheatre.bsky.social … I have one question…. do I stay up and watch the next episode of Severence without my OH and risk marital collapse… or do I sleep. Both have strong appeal.

YES! And OMG I need to do like a whole podcast on the treatment of women in the world of Severence. Or a phd. I can’t decide which.
Yay! I get to fan over it with you. No one I know apart from my OH is watching it! It was just…
ungh!
The lighting.
The stop motion.
The dreamlike transitions.
The relationship.
The interlacing with the main plot.
The love.
The horror.
Just….

Tonight’s Severence episode was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Like a NYT Short Story and yet more.
I don’t have any faith in tech oligarchs anymore, even this one. But limiting my footprint to tools that are not openly back peddling seems the best case scenario considering us lowly artists need some form of digital footprint to operate these days :) think of you often too lovely xx
looks like this is my main hangout now then :)
Kids in bed. Tummy’s full. Finishing off the night with #DoctorWho and the finale of #Arcane ! :)
LMAO me too! Great episode 💙💙⭐️
Anyway, further to my post yesterday, here’s a list of all the LGBTQ+ books published in the UK this year. 19 pages of entertaining, funny, thrilling, thought-provoking, empathy-building titles which deserve to be on any list, from Queer Lit in Manchester. 😍

Children's books should be for ALL CHILDREN! But the new Reflecting Realities report from @theclpe.bsky.social shows a worrying decline in representation. Publishers need to respond and do better: we need books for EVERYONE!
