That would involve someone waking her from cryosleep.

I haven't "liked" this post, because the story it relates is absolutely shocking. But I had no idea such things were happening, and it's clear that they need to change, fast.

Emily, this is horrifying. I had no idea that such a framework was in place, and I'm so sorry that you and B had to go through it. How is she bearing up?

Ladies, it's Montana, it's 1901 and these lads are looking for wives. Who's interested? Come on now, one of them has a cat! You know he'll treat you right!

Tom Scott did an excellent mini-documentary on this sort of thing, using "Jingle Bells, Batman smells" as his example. Truly fascinating stuff. youtu.be/V5u9JSnAAU4?...

Newport in the mid-to-late '80s: "Jesus Christ, Superstar/ Riding on the back of a Jaguar/ Pulled a skid, hit a kid/ Banged his balls on a dustbin lid."

Here in Cardiff they're definitely lanes.

I believe a couple of the xenomorphs in Alien: Romulus were also puppets.

Very good point! Maybe it's just that I don't realise they're puppets.

We've lost the art of the puppet-heavy movie, which is a real shame. It's such a great art form. The physicality of live-action with the expressionism of animation. It's so under-valued.

I hope you feel better soon, Jacqui.

The cover Big Bad Wolf Games by P.G. Bell. It depicts a young, brunette girl in a red tracksuit, swinging from a rope from one platform to another. She's accompanied by eyoung wolf boy in black shorts and a green t-shirt. The sun is setting behind flat, cardboard mountains in the background and the enormous silhouette of a wolf's head is seen in the sky.

Surprise cover reveal! For the very first time, one of my books has been translated into German. Here's Big Bad Wolf Games (aka The Big Bad Wolf Murder) with a brilliant comic-booky cover by Timo Grubing. I'm really, really pleased with how good this looks! #KidLit #KidLitUK

Still one of the best animated shows of the 21st century. And it's got stiff competition.

Here we go! The final part of Legends of Khampiohn: Genesis Era has finally arrived.

It's been a blast to voice Gofannon, Skritch and many more throughout the series! Stay tuned after the credits though...

Is it bad that I know, without having to be told, exactly which former Doctor Who writer Twll's referring to?

Morning, Bluesky. What are we all up to today? I'm at that fussy, frustrating point where two or three potential next projects are struggling to click into place, so I've decided to tackle them with a big cup of coffee and this banger. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Za7j... #KidLit #KidLitUK

My Sunday has mainly consisted of a beautiful walk and another fantastic book for @sparkbookaward.bsky.social - the morning in Kew Gardens which is always special at this time of year and the afternoon solving The Big Bad Wolf Murder by @pgbellwriter.bsky.social! #KidLitUK #UKKidLit
