😢 ladies in hating is fun. The whole series is but this is the only f-f in the series.

Also assuming the aski is queer historical romance

Have you read Joanna Lowell? A Shore Thing.

Or Mes Martin’s Incomparable Adventure by Courtney Milan

Alexandra Vasti “Ladies in Hating” might.

I’m assuming youve read the other novels in the series Celestial Mechanics is in.

Woo hoo!!!

Hey authors, I know y’all hate self-promotion, but when I see book promos in my feed being retweeted by friends I trust, I almost always click through to check it out, and if it’s on sale you have *really* good odds of me taking a chance on it, so, you know, you should do that more.

Especially if you had a caravan or a yurt.

Rightly so!! Congratulations!!!

My point isn't that they're good people with good intentions. It's that explanations of "they're doing war because they want the apocalypse" skip over so many things that are a far bigger factor in the religious warmongering: patriarchy, gun culture, Islamophobia, nationalism.

Oh ffs!! 🤦‍♀️ where does one even start.

Absolutely unacceptable!

Most of them are in the shorts brigade here too. But this one guy!

There is definitely a culture encouraging wearing shorts. “If your legs are cold you’re not walking fast enough”.

I’ve just been for a walk. Sunshine and blue sky 2 days in a row!! My postie has even taken his woolly hat off.

Glad you are feeling better

I keep seeing that screenshot X post (upthread from the below) about the US apparently running out of missiles due to the Iran strikes. As much as I want to enjoy the delicious schadenfreude, a single unsourced X post doesn't seem to be a reliable source? This seems a better one to share 👇🏼

We're a week out from my next online writing retreat.
Choose the express (1.5 days) or full retreat option (2.5 days).

To save typing everything out, I have done a quick video on how Labour's latest attack on people seeking asylum, by halting work and study visas for Afghanistan, Sudan, Myanmar and Cameroon undermines its own arguments defending why they have cancelled other previously remaining resettlement routes.

If you also want to write to your MP about the copyright/AI thing without 4000 words of swearing, ideas for wording here.

Yeah that is so obviously “we don’t want people coming to study and then trying to stay” policy. 🤬🤬

They do. I have a bunch of silver ones I have never used. They go with coffee cups of the espresso size so not useful for big mugs of coffee in any case.

They’re cute though.

This is exactly the opposite of opening safe routes. 🤬🤬

Largely applies to academic books too

😂 what is it with guys and car chases

😲😬

I read all your feelings. your situation sucjs and all those feelings are justified. 🫖🧁

'Shabana Mahmood’s Asylum Plans Will Put Lives at Risk for No Purpose' The Government talks about wanting to reduce division and increase integration and then implements policies which will do the complete opposite, argues Daniel Sohege
