Caitlin Moran

bitch gotta pay rent.

although TO BE FAIR we've all done similar freelance work at some point

Goodbye, over-dramatic watch website.

Would absolutely devour a series of mystery books featuring a lightly fictionalized Gordon Brown analogue about a former UK Prime Minister who goes about solving crimes based on archival research and their international network of connections.

YOUNG WRITERS' PRIZE — BSME The BSME is the only society in the UK exclusively for magazine and website editors and senior editorial staff

BSME Young Writers' Prize w/ @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social - open for entries

A brilliant initiative and much needed - more diverse voices. A fantastic £12K prize plus mentoring.

Any budding journos here - give it a go!! And how refreshing not to be asked for a video entry. @thebsme.bsky.social

This post is really a tenuous excuse to say The Horrors' stint as BBC 6 Music Artist In Residence is a total joy. They ought to be given their own show, not just because of their selections, but also the ease with which they intro the songs, welcoming you in where others might have just showboated.

Happy Seventh Birthday to Nigel Slater not being a fucking travel agent.

Coming from a great big lovely thing, that's all the praise I need. Please feel free to spread the news. I want to be DELUGED with entries. As it were.

Oh dude, THANK YOU! I'm OBSESSED with the notion there's a whole COHORT of fab writers out there, that I'm DESPERATE to read.

THANK YOU for noticing. It's my favourite, and most over-used, word. which I find undolourous.

"Keep your side of the road clean." In a world of dolourous news, all you can do is find one small thing - then try to fix it. And so me and the British Society of Magazine Editors are launching this - to find the next generation of writers AND PAY THEM. Screw you, AI. We still believe in writing.

Why Caitlin Moran needs your young writers Tes is backing a new prize to help disadvantaged young people get into journalism – here, writer Caitlin Moran explains all the details

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social is launching a new Young Writers’ Prize to help disadvantaged young people get into journalism – and she wants you to put forward your students

I will miss the Winter Olympics SO MUCH. Particularly Ed and Tim on the Big Air commentary. "The Chinese equipment team made sure those skis were staying put, didn't they? Six inch PoziDrive screw right through the boot." THREE WEEKS of chat like this. They are my kings.

Give Jim Ratcliffe a break. He’s just a billionaire While everyone was angry about the INEOS owner sounding racist, I worry about him having too much on his plate. These superwealthy white men are spread wafer thin

Yes, Jim Ratcliffe might come across as a man easily confused by numbers, and inclined to say things that sound racist. But that's the problem with powerful, busy billionaires. They're just a bit overwhelmed: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Join me on June 1 at The Union Chapel to discuss the genius of George Michael. I'll be live on stage for @intelligencesquared to launch my new book, Tonight the Music Seems So Loud, exploring the life, music and contradictions of a man beloved by many.

Tickets: sathnam.com/events

See you there 🙏🏾

Delicious fondant Pacino.

It's a lovely birthday cake. With Al Pacino, high on cocaine, wielding a machine gun. but in fondant.

Just so everyone knows - they're now doing Scarface "Say hello to my little friend" birthday cakes on Green Lanes.

I hate football but I applaud crap puns

Jeffrey Epstein circle’s ‘big ideas’ were vacuous guff Emails show that despite hooking up the rich, the powerful and intellectuals, the philosophising was utterly banal

One lesson of the Epstein emails is the total intellectual vacuousness of the international business elite

If I were a bowler I'd really LEAN IN to the abuse and shout "SCRUBBERS!", a la Withnail, ALL THE TIME

Just discovered Mandelson’s reaction to our first report he’d leaked government emails:

Caitlin Moran: I got tight with Camilla at Jilly Cooper’s send-off The champagne flowed, her leading man swore in church and the (canine) stars of the show started humping — she would have loved her memorial service

I mean, I didn't. But I was there. And it was just perfect: www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

Disaster! I can only spot three tits and a pigeon in my garden ‘I’ll be honest — the lead-up to this year’s Big Garden Birdwatch was an incredibly fraught time for me’

some people might say I take the RSPB's Big Garden BirdWatch too seriously. I don't think that's possible: www.thetimes.com/life-style/w...

Oh man, Hugo's just such a cold, clear, great writer on men. How they break, or break others. The blindnesses they cultivate.

As these posts make clear. This is a good thing!

That‘s the spirit.

yeah i hate those celebrity comedians who lecture people about their pet causes

Caitlin Moran: My secret habit? Eavesdropping on my daughters ‘Beautiful young people age, and up and leave. However much I deny it, the day will come when I will never hear all this again’

In these awful times, it's the small things that keep you going. I've started hearing The Music Of The House: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
