- Just about to go back to work after 8 weeks off due to stress and anxiety. Weirdly, I'm feeling stressed and anxious about it.
- Good luck and you have got this.
- Thank you.
- Now Playing: The eponymous first album by singer/songwriter/automobile journalist Tracy Chapman (Elektra, 1988, re-released 2025)
- No... REM released Eponymous. The album is called Tracy Chapman.
- (Please note: this is a bit. I know what eponymous means. Mainly because I didn't know what it meant when I first got the REM album.)
- Just had a hilarious thought. Neil Gaiman's work on Good Omens s3 has been rewritten... By Joss Whedon...
- I haven't been able to write anything for weeks due to shitty mental health. But I'm going to give the Big Finish Short Trips competition a go and I've worked out most of the plot already. Just need to get it down on paper now. www.bigfinish.com/news/v/tenth...

- This evening's episode of #DoctorWho - The Story and The Engine helped to start offsetting the incredible whiteness of the previous 60 years... I really enjoyed it and it's interesting to see it really leaning into the fantasy aspect of the gods. Still no idea about Mrs Flood though.

- Sounds good to me! I'm watching Christopher Eccleston doing Hamlet at the moment and then I need to catch today's Doctor Who but I'll catch up with you after that.
- #booksky #2025Reads I'm going to try to keep a list of the books I've read here, as well as on @thestorygraph.com. I'll probably fail but a girl can dream...
