“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

I was on a writing course tonight and we talked about permission.. if you need it, you absolutely have my permission, for what it's worth, to crush the spine to bits, stain the pages beyond recognition and enjoy the text. 💕
I know right! Mine end up well cracked... 😅
The smell of a new book, spine as yet unbroken, the delight of anticipation of what awaits inside. Thank you @booksupstairs.bsky.social for the joy you brought into my day! Cannot wait to dive in.

Excira and delira that one of my short stories will be published in @flarelitmag.bsky.social! I started writing seriously in March last year and a year later, five of my works have found publication homes. 🙏💕
Really enjoyed the #WinterOlympics. Now I want to go to Cortina and Verona (been to Milano).
Well done. We have moved all our photos and files to Pcloud, a European storage provider.
