Voyager rewatch status - Icheb has arrived. assimilated by the Borg as a child, suffering unimaginable trauma. discovers his parents genetically engineered him as a living weapon. finds purpose, family and stability on Voyager :) now to take a big sip of coffee and not think about Picard Season 1

implementing a quality of life feature from the old site where, if I feel compelled to post something about the Labour Party, I resist the urge and do something else instead. write a poem. donate to something. hit myself in the head with a saucepan. it's better for me, and it's better for you!

We didn’t get Books Council Wales funding, it would've meant 5 years of stability. It’s a blow, and it means a rockier road ahead, but our commitment to ambitious, inclusive, working-class publishing stays firm. If you want to help: buy a book, spread the word, or donate:
