Fuck it, I’m going to say that it makes me feel good to hit this milestone - I’ve worked hard these last few years and achieved something that’s important to me as a writer: a global audience. Who wants to just shout into the void, after all?

I wondered why Susie was yelling obscenities at the front door earlier - then found this… 🤣

Thanks Amazon. Agreed, it's a great book, fascinating read, excellent author. Funnily enough, however, I already have a copy or three.

I may have treated myself to something I’ve always wanted. Well,OK, it’s not a first edition but a fourth, but it dates to 1770 and is a piece of history in my hands.

Waits for someone to offer me their contrafibularities.

#infosec #dogs and #shitposting — what more could anyone want? Here’s my doggo, Nala, an English Bullmastiff / Dogue de Bordeaux / German Shepherd mix, to kickstart my Bluesky reboot.

Did I mention she’s also a hacker?
