Weegie bookseller and book enthusiast. SFF reader. Co-head of Programme, Eastercon 2027. Angry queer. Nonbinary. They/them.
So @damianbarr.bsky.social sent me a postcard to thank me for doing an event for The Two Roberts at the Glasgow School of Art. A lovely gesture! But also, I grew up visiting Prospect Cottage regularly, and made a queer secular pilgrimage there a few years back, so particularly personally resonant.

Damn, @tashasuri.bsky.social, Isle is a bit of a brick, isn't it! Thank you @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the advance copy!

Started today getting up far too early to take apart Edinburgh International Book Festival before rushing myself back to Glasgow for @junodawson.bsky.social's event at Waterstones Sauchiehall St.

Yes, I did just rush from a mad month of book events... to a book event. But as a fan this time!

But this is perfect. Being very clear about putting her money where her mouth is, and the people that arguably implicates, and the ridiculousness of this proscription.

David Lammy is a principle-less coward utterly bought off by a Cabinet position. Monstrous warmongering bullshit.

'People are dead but my son had to postpone his wedding and who is to say which is the greater tragedy?' The man is a fucking sociopath!

Sorry, let me be clear: bombing a hospital or a civilian population centre is the mark of a terrorist tyrant, is it? Fascinating, fascinating

My clothbound and special edition Terry Pratchett collection, plus other Pratchett items including swamp dragons and a Glod figurine. That's the slipcased spectacular Ultimate Discworld Companion, there.

My original Terry Pratchett collection and associated nonfiction, plus some additional entries with interesting introductions, and a crocheted Death of Rats made by @aeriefaerie.bsky.social

Massive, massive thanks to @rhi.bsky.social and @terryandrob.bsky.social for this amazing addition to my Discworld collection, shown here with my somewhat worn and very read two-decade-old copy of Monstrous Regiment.

Oh, yes, for sure, respect is definitely what I feel from a government whose leader just said trans women aren't women, and whose equalities minister seems to think trans women are immune from violence against women. Respect.

Absolutely wonderful event tonight seeing @riverssolomon.bsky.social talk about their incredible Southern gothic novel Model Home, and their career as a whole, at the lovely @portybooks.bsky.social! First time visiting the shop, too, and it looks amazing

Zeal & Ardor remain a fucking spectacular live act, not a single miss in the set and Manuel Gagnieux really knows how to handle a Glasgow crowd now. Incredible night.
