Yay!

Writing Christmas cards with a notable name missing for the first time is absolutely devastating. I'm going to hold this grief close and use the emotions it brings me to make sure I reach out to those I've still got.

A late call, but whatever:

Do I have any moots who want to exchange cards this year? I've done it a few times and I'm happy to send internationally (I'm in the UK)!

Hi all! I'm Lou and I'm not really a horror writer but I did know and love Matt ever since I was a newbie writer over on twitter. I'm so glad this community exists 💜 Keep celebrating him and each other.

Thank you lovely 💜 I appreciate it!

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore! Mornings are generally okay but I'm getting very anxious in the evenings. Got a lot going on at the moment so I'm trying to make sure I listen to what my body needs

It's grief awareness week and oh lord I am aware

Maybe he just doesn't realise how wonderful he is.

These dipshits literally never look at the shit their AI shits out.
Its the perfect example of Dunning Kruger; they have absolutely no expertise in these fields and so think AI is the next coming of god when every expert is like "This is shit"

I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories.

If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word?

Thank you!

Wasn't sure if I'll even manage to read this such a short while after Matt's passing.🖤

Made it halfway through before I needed an hour-long break for a good cry. 😭

I'm 99% certain I won't review it right now (I likely can't), maybe in a few weeks.

But please: Read it!

We appreciate!!

😆 it's felt a bit like that for me too!

I'm actually incredibly anxious tonight so I'm using some of the techniques my therapist taught me and I'm distraught to report that they work.

I suppose it will start to feel real one day but... Not yet. Gosh I miss him.

I keep expecting to see him here

I don’t feel the sharpness of the word friend when I’m asleep and I forget how awful it is of me to be so obsessed, so infatuated, so in love, with this man who is my friend.

Sticky toffee pudding, anyone?

Fundraiser in Memory of Matt Mason for Macmillan Cancer Support Help Louise Willingham raise money to support Macmillan Cancer Support

His widow, Cat, has invited friends to leave messages and donations in his memory to Macmillan, Matt's chosen charity. I've helped set up a memorial page so please feel free to share this to anyone who knew and loved him.

I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

Chronic illnesses really do be chronic

The only reason I should be leaving the house at 6:30am is to look at the stars. Never to go to work.

Makes me wanna claw out my eyes!!

Went to my first craft fayre since gen AI has become a trendy thing and I very loudly said "if it can be proved someone is trying to sell gen AI 'art' they should be banned" in front of someone who was clearly... Doing exactly that.

Oh that's very cool!!
