Nisi Shawl is one of my favorite writers, a queer elder & a BIPOC icon. I hate that the state of publishing is such that the book of their dreams would struggle to find a home, but I love that we as a community can come together to make it happen!! Give/boost as you're able? 🙏

Are the Epstein files on the roof?

Everyone just hoping he'd fall off....

Power of Snoozedo!

Thank you. That is reassuring.

This is up there with Michael Buerk reporting on the famine in Ethiopia. It should be life changing, policy changing.

It won't be, but it should.

Donny Trump is still a rapist though.

Because fuck people trying to grow a little bit to feed themselves...

They saw Iron Sky and thought it was a documentary.

It me!

I had not seen that but how lovely!

What he posted: Okay, so uh... I need to find about £20,000 in 3 days, in order to start radiotherapy with an amazing team, next Monday. Preposterous, I know. But in the unlikely event that you've been thinking, "I could probably lend Arnopp £1-£5K for a bit", now is the time to strike via DM. 👀😄 Happy to repay any loan with interest. God, I hate having to ask for financial help. Honestly... More details: He has a rare and difficult to treat form of cancer, has already had surgery, but to hafve the best chance of survival, he needs to start radio therapy right away. The hopsital wants £30K in three days, which is why he has the deadline, for him to start radio therapy at the end of August, which is just inside the deadline his doctor gave him for the best hope of a good result. I just think about how it woulde be for any of us. Absolutely terrifying and e4specially because this cancer even if it doesn't end his life, may take his ability to eat and speak and other things. I really hope he can have a shot at getting better.

A few days ago I posted about Jason Arnopp's cancer treatment He just posted this update: (see ALT text for more details)

The reason I'm trying to help is, beyond just caring, he only just won the right to have shared custody of his five year old twin boys. gofund.me/874e5eab

The cover of Wiz Duo Book 1. Art by Roz Clarke. The are two images separated diagonally. The image for 'The God Road' is a mantis-like creature. The image for 'To sail the interstice' is a ship sailing off the edge of the world.

Have you heard about our new Wiz Duo series? Two novellas for the price of a novel. Book 1 contains 'The God Road' by David Gullen and 'To Sail the Interstice' by Ben Wright.

There is a review of the book on the British Fantasy Society blog: britishfantasysociet...

I have questions, and one of them is "why is the kitchen sink tap over the hob?"

Oh gosh, that's awful! Sending live all round xx

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

In one of the Hobbit films where Legolas Mario-platforms up a waterfall and my partner just went "oh FUCK OFF!" really loud and the entire cinema collapsed into laughter.

:(

It was really fun :)

We are pickling the beetroot we didn't sell yesterday at our first farmers market, where we made a £45 profit!

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of @www.joditaylorbooks.com's White Silence (Elizabeth Cage, Book 1), which I *have* and *have read* and *did enjoy*. It's a bit of an odd duck, honestly, about a woman who can see auras and then other things happen.

Technical dunce question! Just bought a 2nd hand ps5 and the controller won't synchronise - I've plugged in the controller and pressed the P button but nothing is happening. The controller is charged. Does anyone have any experience of this / idea how to fix it?

Backed and boosted!

Boosting this for Winifred, who is a great person doing important work...

I've just backed this from @habitatspress.com - it looks like a great project!

Sending love xxx
