Unsolicited writing advice, no. 4: There’s nothing wrong with writing fluff. Fluff insulates. It protects. It cocoons us from a world filled with sharp edges and sudden fires. It makes a warm bed to sleep on; builds soft ramparts; saves lives.

To this end it might be an idea to write to your local TV station/network before the usual winter holiday/end-of-term repeats of Harry Potter movies on the TV, and make sure you change sides when it comes on.

Agree. We should treat Harry Potter Adults like cybertruck owners at this point.

Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

It’s Steve Ditko’s 100th birthday today. Here’s the entire first appearance of my favorite creation of his, The Question, as he appeared in a seven-page backup to 1967’s BLUE BEETLE #1.

“But art ≠ artist!!!” Yes but the money generated from the art goes to the artist who donates it directly to anti-trans causes. This is pretty overt and obvious information. No excuses IMO.

It is 11ºC outside (51.8°F) and I just had a nice strawberry and vanilla iced matcha latte.

The day after Halloween here in Northern Ireland, and - in keeping with tradition - means that the fireworks that started in August/September will continue through until at least middle-to-end of November.

Samhain is when the veil between worlds is thin.. As scavengers, crows are connected to death, but this is part of a larger cycle of death and rebirth, which is a central theme of Samhain. They are believed to have the ability to cross between worlds, carrying messages.
Art my own.

When you're home alone eating fried chicken in the shower and hear a noise in the house.

A man standing in the shower, with a chicken leg in one hand and a semi-automatic rifle in the other.

Ready for anything. Except maybe some hot sauce.

I knew Conan Doyle was a spiritualist, but I didn’t realise publishing books by ouija board was a thing.

An email from Amazon.co.uk that says “Recent release from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle”.

My new Apple Watch lighting up to say 'it looks like you're working out' when I'm in the middle of a particularly challenging poo, marks a new low in my life

In case you're wondering if that book review offer or marketing pitch or friendly message from a well-known author are genuine (the short version: probably not)...my collection of blog posts on the new Nigerian marketing scams will help you decide writerbeware.blog/tag/nigeria/
