Ali Coyle Writes

"why does restaurant food taste better than food cooked at home"

The cook does not care if you live or die and uses salt and butter accordingly

Classic Chat Noir poster but the cat is a stylized, black Loth Cat and the text is in Aurebesh that reads: Soon, The Black Cat Tour (Oldjoe)

From ComiCon on Sunday! Good times!

A grey cat with yellow green eyes and a black nose stares thoughtfully into the distance over your shoulder. he looks as if he is contemplating the meaning of life, but actually he’s just about to yell at his food dish.

My cat, just because.

My original Palitoy Doctor Who Talking K9, it is in a nice looking condition and displays nicely. It still has all of its original stickers applied. The tail and ears are all still attached. Amazingly old K9 still talks.

Oooh! I would definitely be interested.

£93,871 is what teachers have lost in real terms pay cuts since 2010, making it harder to recruit and retain teachers as many are leaving for better-paid jobs. With school budgets already stretched, an unfunded 2.8% pay rise will mean more cuts and fewer specialist teachers.

New year, new government, schools still burdened with the same old problems...

Our message to the government is clear: do the right thing. Schools can't make more 'efficiencies'. Fully fund fair pay now.

If nothing changes, our indicative ballot opens on 1 March.

Someone tried to set my apartment building on fire in an arson attempt so we’re moving out in a hurry… problem is that means the money we’d saved up for our cat’s surgery now has to go toward moving expenses. If you can spare a little to get us safe, I’d really appreciate it

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to Professor Katherine O’Donnell about the Magdalene laundries, & to Natalie Hughes-Crean about the mother & baby homes, in Ireland.

(CW, this is a difficult episode covering sexual abuse, infanticide, & spiritual abuse)

Absolutely needed to be said, Kate Lister: a full-throated defence of universities, culture, humanities, and all the things that make life worth living.

And the charge of élitism infuriates me, too. It isn't a choice between élitism and democracy, but between élite brains and élite wealth.

With Valentine's Day coming up, A Twitter thread about saying "I love you" in neurodivergent that I want to share over here:

An edited version of a trending article from the guardian, made to look like an un universe article from Star Wars. The headline reads “I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the galaxy down - I just didn’t expect them to be such losers” and is authored by Rose Tico. In the headline image are kylo ren and admiral Hux.

Canon.

So lovely!

I drew a Watson to go with the Holmes I drew last year. Here they are together.

“You’ll be visited by three spirits”

The three spirits:

The title page of Chrysalides by Ali Coyle with a colour key that has made me laugh, general thoughts and inspired artwork all labelled.

Handwritten letter expressing thoughts about the book and lamenting the lack of sapphic fantasy generally.

A pencil drawing on tracing paper taped over the first page. It is of main character Tuli accidentally breathing fire.

Tuli wrapped up warm and walking through her beloved forest.

For Secret Santa, a queer colleague gave me a copy of my book “Chrysalides” with annotations and art!
I am absolutely blown away by this wonderful gift.
(There were hugs and I shed a little tear).

Fanfiction etiquette is incredibly simple, actually. Don't like it, don't read it. No one is forcing you to, which is why it looks ridiculous to complain about it, especially if you were content warned. AO3 tags + "exclude" is one of the greatest reading tools ever. Use them properly and voila!

really don't know if I shall use this much or post on here but as a first attempt HERE'S SOME HOLMES AND WATSON

Genuinely forgot about this account.
Here is a summary of my activity.

"Aroint Thee!" - amzn.to/2M3Eyfp
A most grandiloquent way to say "Go away, bugger Off" or "Leave Me Alone!" Certain to be very helpful in these days of social distancing.

Decided to design my own secular seasonal cards this year.
