In other oversold tech news, I'm reliably informed by someone who sells them that Rayban Meta specs are gathering dust in stock rooms, which I think is quite funny.

Fancy bread!

Now, what sandwich?

Flipping heck. Most people know at least one person who got really sick. I lost my dad and it triggered my hypothyroidism. A colleague lost her mum, husband and best friend in the same week. What kind of 'bubble' were these nutters in?

Any pals in London who fancy a laugh on Wednesday night? I'm in Not So New Comedian of the Year heats and have a couple of free tickets spare. Let me know!

Now that's a French fancy! They look smashing!

It's been five years since we did our first sale! I'm so excited for this one too. I've worked on it the last three weeks so I hope you'll check it out :D

Maybe grab my free book?

Oh should also say, I picked up The Sword Garden at Eastercon. I was on a panel with Peadar and was very excited to see his book on the Wizard's Tower Press stand.

I've blocked, so I can't tell who, but it looks like someone I follow reposted a book recommendation by a S e x m a t t e r s advocate. Just in case anyone saw me respond, that was me being slack and not looking properly at the poster. I'm here for my trans pals and always will be.

I really should look more carefully at who I'm replying to. Thank you. It sounds interesting, but I'm here for my trans friends and don't want to engage with transphobes. Ageism is one thing, but if it's going to be full of dodgy anti-trans stuff, I won't bother. Ugh. better do a tidy up, I guess.

Good morning, I'm almost finished a very zippy read of The Rapture of the Nerds by Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross. File under flipping bonkers!

I do like my Kindle but I mainly use the Borrowbox on it. It's post the cull date for the models Bezos is binning, but he's already disabled the Goodreads app. Nothing has changed about ebooks, it's all just deliberate obsolescence bollocks.

She is so awesome!

Great, that's available at my library!

Love the Flame Tree anthologies and this is a rather excellent one.

Ah, you know you are!

Today I was going to London to do something cool, hang out with artists and eat olives, but can't now. Have to do work and clean the fridge instead. Boo to being a responsible lady today.

With lots of swears!

Oh smashing!
I have two family 'dwellings' there. The back-to-back cottage my parents lived in, and an old caravan a great great aunt used to travel in.

I love that guy! You've seen the Tolkien one, right?

Not seen it, but...

A bookshelf with volumes 2 and 3 of Year’s Best Canadian F&SF, and Best of British SF from 2018 to 2025.

This is what seven consecutive appearances in Best of British SF (and two of Year’s Best Canadian F&SF) looks like!
