Anti-immigration hatred is being fuelled *again* by rhetoric & intended action by the UK government. It's drawing on an old fascist strategy, but there are ways to say "no".

¡No pasarán! They will not pass.

We defeated fascism before & will do so again. Links included.

After a violent incident at work, Tamsin makes a fresh start in a cottage far from her old life. But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall between her & a total stranger.

The cover for HOME SICK on a gradient pink background with half a sheep's head. The cover features two sheep heads looking to the viewer, one with black shark-like eyes. The title of the book is in a pointed, thick font, swirling and dominant. Around the book text reads "This house isn't haunted. She is."

Alt text: apart from basic decency for accessibility, remember not everyone knows what you know. It's impossible. They might live in different countries or speak different languages that are being translated, so putting in context makes your pictures more popular and means they'll be shared further.

Oh yeah, saw the new HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy Show.

It's very much a 'take' on the source material, and very much a homage in the spirit of Douglas Adams. You have to actually engage with it to enjoy it, however.
