- If you have 5 minutes, read this flash by my friend @addi.social in @mythaxis.bsky.social It's great, very weird and a lot of fun. Just like the author! mythaxis.co.uk/issue-41/the...

- Now give me 500 words and finish your vegetables!

- I asked him. He also said write more!
- [Not loaded yet]
- Now write more. 👀
- First drafts are the funnest things in the world's. Editing is tedious. Today I have fixed the computer fan I've been putting off for months (it sounded like a buzz saw) rather than do edits. The best way for me to he productive is to avoid other stuff!

- I listened to it this morning! Absolutely loved it :)

- Sentences I didn't expect to read today 😂

- "It puts the ending on its page or else it gets the draw again" 😂
- I yell at it and tell it that if it doesn't behave it goes back in the drawer! 😂

- "Dragon fucking didn't even in the top three troubling things in this book" is clearly your advert, right there?

- Yes, Sue! So well deserved :D

- This is now how i wanted the UK's Overton window to shift :/
- Perfect day. Swimming the lad, followed by weights in the morning. First bbq of the year with friends in the afternoon. And now finishing the outline for a novella, ready to start. 10/10 day, would recommend.

- Sighs. Now you're making me want to rewatch DS9. The special effects are obviously dated, but the rest of it holds up so well. (Aside Season 1. Never talk about season 1)
- England's smallest window! This is my favourite part of Hull, my local city. It's believed it be the world's smallest window. But nobody can be bothered to check 😂

- God I wished I lived in London. This looks great.

- I got really upset before I read they've ripped you off as I thought you were doing t-shirts!

- I knew I was going to like this as soon as I saw the title!

- The one I miss is Google glasses. I really wanted that HUD they promised us for every day life!
- [Not loaded yet]
- Short story. Then i can read it faster when you sell it 😁

- Where did this come from? I'm sure noone used to have VE parties only a few years ago.
- Between Clarke Award reading and Eastercon work I haven’t had as much time for games this year as I’d like, but April was a return to some sort of form. What did everyone else play? #BGStats #TabletopGames

- Good choice. It will keep the food in the fridge free of corruption!
- Somehow, Sid has worked out how to open the baby gate. After two years, we can no longer contain him. He is unstoppable 🙌
- [Not loaded yet]
- Cannot wait. Working through your orc books atm and having a hell of a great time 🙌
- Well, I got out of academia *just in time*. This is so freaking heartbreaking. I know I'm an outlier in that I LOVED going to school, but I can't imagine how students who use chatbots to do their coursework are going to deal with responsibilities (like doing their actual jobs?) in the future.
- Bleak. nymag.com/intelligence...
- Are we going to see a very increased amount of exams and exam condition essays?
- Writing absolutely ruins my video game time. But the hour of space marine 2 I manage a week has been great!
- Come for the Shadow Daddies, stay for the... Wait 😳
- Is that your new title on the BFS? Shadow daddy 😂

- Honestly, it should be a shared award at least. You produced it, and narrated it. And I'll add, everyone whose talked to me has said how good the narration was. It's actually very unfair on you how the award works! But at least it reflects the great work of the podcast 🙌
- Some quick and helpful advice from my writing inspiration.
- I have put off buying a new lawnmower for 6 weeks after the last one died. Today I got gifted one from a neighbour who upgraded theirs. Another win for putting off easily solvable problems! Sometimes they solve themselves 🙌

- Thank you! It looks great but it's made from glass and I'm absolutely petrified of breaking it 😂

- They won my local mayoral elections running on this shite. Roads are full of pot holes, nobodies collecting the bins, but feel free to say the real problem is the diversity policy on the local council 🙄
- [Not loaded yet]
- Well this now lives in my head. It would go great as an upbeat song against a really violent fight scene of bezerkers 🤔
- I can finally mention this! I have a story coming out with Fission #5, edited by Gene Rowe and Eugen Bacon. It'll be coming this summer, and look at this beautiful cover! Find out more here: www.bsfa.co.uk/fission
- Congrats 🎉

- Read it this morning. Lovely piece 🙌

- One interesting point as well is that the amateur sports don't drug test. So they're fine with a person of either gender dosing up on all the steroids they want. But this is apparently the issue?

- Fancy going halves on one of the old Humber Sea forts and declaring it an independent state?

- It's not looking any better for east Yorkshire either. At least we can be miserable together?

- I was almost happy to see you didn't have a stall at eastercon as it saved my baggage allowance 😂 Is the best way for ebooks just amazon or similar? Couldn't see a page on the store? I need Deborah's and Andrew Knighton's novellas.

- Congrats 🎉

- I've not read Andrews work before. I feel I should invest for another Yorkshire authors work!
- I keep promising to read what's on my kindle before I buy new books, but you have novellas I haven't read yet 😬

- The small parts of the house where the toddler goes are spotless. Everywhere else looks like a junkyard 😂

- It takes a ludicrous amount of effort to be reasonably fit, eat a balanced diet and have a tidy home. If you work full time it's only remotely possible if you do literally nothing else.

- Good point. Although that may actually make the news sadder lol.
- The bit that shocks me is the organisers seem surprised that the community are upset. It's a fan run con, they're part of the community? They must have known nobody would like this?
