I've conducted Handfastings (pagan weddings) for over 20 years now. Every single one is unique and takes a LOT of work.

Some people say I'm too cheap, others too dear, and even 'you shouldn't charge at all.'

I try to value my work fairly but it's so hard sometimes.

Scream 7 is much more fun than I thought it'd be - all bets really are off! 😊

I saw a chap in Warhammer World in full Kingpin (from Daredevil) cosplay. I'd rather that sort of villain (fictional) please.

I've not used BookSirens since their endorsement of 🍇-positive books a while back. BookSprout is a good alternative.

Hello!

Also the Nutters forum has been very quiet recently - is all well?

A New Wharton Study on AI Warns of a Growing Problem: Cognitive Surrender Casual users should pay special attention

This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally.

Have you read 'Bang Bang Bodhisatva' at all? I think you'd really enjoy, it's such a queer scifi trip!

Books will always been the most wonderful form of magic for me.

I spent the morning in medieval France with an extremely sassy sorcerer and his demon, hunting werewolves.

If you're interested, it releases this week and is a big recommend! @torbooksuk.bsky.social ❤️🐺

Sometimes battling depression means figuring out what I want - and then doing it. Even if it seems frivolous or silly. If it helps on the road to happiness, it's valid and needed.

I'm going to make myself a nice coffee.

Indie authors: If an ARC reader for your book isn't vibing with it, do you want to know or would you rather they stay quiet? Asking for me ;)

I never slate books, but sometimes DNFs happen because I've got a big TBR + deadlines. I either leave them off my Goodreads or put a 3-star average.

I've seen trailers and reviews and am wholly uninterested. Looks like Barbarian again (I liked the first half of that, then WTF happened?!).

My brother's family are going to Florida Disney soon. I'm hoping the Mouse effect keeps them safe.
