Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

Being from the UK and a member of the late part of Generation X means having to live with the fact that every photo from your childhood resembles a still from a cultishly acclaimed but commercially disappointing folk horror film.

Isn’t it amazing the way life can seem too short, and intrinsically magical, yet at the same time feel like a long, uphill road, potholed with fuckwits?

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

THREAD.
3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Me: “Here, have this instead.”
Cat: “OMG I LOVE IT.”
Me: “It’s exactly the same bowl of food. I just took it away for six seconds then put it back in the same place.”
Cat: “I am fire and the wind. Do not attempt to know me.”

I'm not much for writing advice, but I'll say this: If you write, the internet - its breakneck pace & cracked attention spans - will create a parallel surface narrative of your work. The ability to ignore it & realise it's got fuck all to do with you, or anything you've actually written, is useful.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for President Biden to be imprisoned and put to death, but he was so well-groomed when he said it so ...
1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed.
Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do.
He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.
