Black Friday is basically bollocks and small businesses deserve your support.
I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Had a chilled day yesterday.
I churned out the first draft of a 5k short story.
A reminder that you're not affected by some mythical 'writers block', it's just fucking hard to do creative stuff around life and stress and burnout.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Ah, I love this app.
In most places its "I saw/played/read X and it made me really happy, it was great 5*"
Here you're more likely to see "I wept ugly tears and felt a profound sense of loss that stayed with me for days 10/10 - no notes."
Cheers, you little freaks.

Tech 'advances' that make things easier, rarely increase quality.
They sometimes increase accessibility and efficiency, but they nearly always reduce quality and block off pathways for more talent to come through.
Art isn’t manufacturing, we dont want it to be cheap and cheery. We want quality.

My Sister's kids love - and come to expect from me - books at Christmas, but Y and YA are well outside my wheelhouse.
The oldest was well into the Percy Jackson series recently.
What's good, peeps?
Nothing too mature, both strong readers, but they're still little and wholesome

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

Just tripped over a cable labelled "Cloudflare".
Thought it was a trip hazard, so I've unplugged it. Gimme a shout if that's an issue.

A gentle reminder that awards don't matter - at all.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is my favourite game since Witcher 3, but if it wins none of those awards, I won't give a shit. I'll still have loved it just as much.
The online discourse needs winners and losers.... fuck that. Just have fun.

Maybe I've just become a bitter old vegetarian, but catching a glimpse of minor celebrities rooting around in the blood and sinew of a small herd of animals, in the name of a laaaaarf, really made me feel uncomfortable this evening.

Frankenstein was all very pretty, but it left me a bit cold.
It all felt a bit superficial. It sort of brushed over some points, but what messages did it actually leave?
Forgive your evil dad during his death bed confessional? Women prefer tall non-verbal men to wimps and creeps?

Irrational annoyance 218:
People doing things for charity that I'm almost certain they want to do anyway.
The worst culprits are bungie jumps and sky dives, but I'd almost include marathons etc.
