Been revisiting my old teen music faves lately. A LOT of emo stuff in there 🎸🫣

I don't usually watch Saturday morning TV, but got hooked on a nigella segment. Next thing I know James Acaster has just had a hilarious angry vent, punching stuff and all sorts! I cannot stop laughing!

So our ritual Saturday night film selection has already been agreed. My choice is...The Birdcage! Watched this SO much as a teen and hoping it's as good a film as I remember it being!

Most of the time, I really love that we have trams in my city and I enjoy using them. Apart from on a Friday night. Last Friday's will def haunt me for a long time.

Oh my life! This isn't going to actually help. We know kids need to develop their literacy and reading skills in school. How about actually doing something useful...as in, handing schools some £ for library books and an experienced librarian?

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Starting watching The Walking Dead for the first time ever. On my own. Feeling pretty badass rn.

Gosh, I'm afraid I don't remember. Sorry!

If anyone loves watching crime noir, e.g. the bridge, baptiste, etc...check out Dept. Q on netflix. Bloody brilliant! And series 2 out soon!

Ooh I def need to check out Braided Lives too now.

It says a lot when it makes that kind of a long lasting impact. Truly great writing.

No worries. Tbh it was pretty dark. But it's a book that will stay with me for a very long time.

Paperback book with a black cover, white writing at the top saying it was written by Marge Piercy. Central green capital letters say the title, Woman on the edge of time, which is intermingled with a red double headed snake and flowers.

For a book that was originally published in 1976, this story hits hard today. This is a dense, impactful read about women, mental health and society (utopia). Blew my absolute socks off! And am gutted I left it so long to read it.

Three animated comedy series I regularly go back to are; Bob's Burgers, Archer and Futurama. If you haven't seen them, you're really missing out.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Do you even work in education if you don't have a zillion pins attached to your lanyard?

Slowly being added to until the weight of it becomes unbearable and you have to have a pin amnesty/rearrangement?

Just finished watching All Of Us Are Dead on netflix! A fab teen zombie series set in Korea! Cannot WAIT for series two to air 😆!

Today's Saturday night movie was Cloud. A Japanese 2025 film about the world of e-commerce; story of a greedy online reseller who gets in over his head. Not bad. About half an hour too long though imo.

Wow that looks totally my thing, will def check it out! Thanks for the rec 🫰

Having fun in Barcelona! A well earned trip away for a few days 🫶

Just watched The Phoenician Scheme. Love a Wes Anderson film!

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Led on some team training for a few hours today. I am now utterly exhausted! Fun but it's floored me!
