Today I learnt that is Scouse slang for cocaine. Oops.

Don’t mind me … just sitting here writing cosy space opera about Cocaine and the Gang.

Intergalactic kidnappers! A chatty horse! Sentient glitter gas! And a dog!

When Lem and her dog retreat from the city for a few days, they don’t expect to wind up aboard the Starship Teapot with adorable alien bounty hunters.

She’s got a poorly tummy, so I think the best thing (aside from the antiemetics I’ve already administered) is rest. She doesn’t even want snuggles, which is a sign of just how unwell she is.

I bought my parents a new stove. I forwarded them the email from BestBuy. I told them the delivery would be on Saturday and that BestBuy would contact them to arrange a 3h delivery window.

My dad got a call from someone who said, I’m calling from BestBuy to arrange delivery of your—

My dad shouted at the caller about phone spam and hung up.

made a very considered, well-written press release saying (basically) ‘genocide is bad’. This has made a lot of queer authors very, VERY angry.

Imagine being a queer author in 2024 and having the audacity to be angry that a queer author group makes a political statement. In 2024.

Imagine being a queer author in 2024 and telling a queer author group to (and I quote) 'stay in your lane'.

The books are getting a fresh lick of paint with the help of the good folks at Damonza.

I'm absolutely in love with the new look. What do you think?

Pssst! Want books?

How about some character-driven queer science-fantasy?

My friend Scott's got you covered.

The third book in his is coming out this week. And to celebrate, he's got the first two books on sale!

Well, I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Today's review of The Left Hand of Dog calls the book 'too normal'.

If you'd like to read an ordinary, typical, common book about an aro-ace agender IT project manager and her dog who get kidnapped by giant space bunnies, click now. Prices are going up … soon.

I am perpetually surprised by the number of businesses – in the year of oh sweet baby goat and all the angles in Hebburn two thousand and twenty-four – that insist the only possible way to do business is by phone.

Way back in the dawn of time (2022), we had a local election in the London Borough of . I took to Twitter (which was the fashion at the time), to pillory the candidates. My tweets caused a bit of a ruckus. Ultimately, they got me name checked by the and a bunch of far-right websites.

Anyways, guess what time it is! That's right it's Lewisham mayoral election time! And that means I've read the manifestos so you don't have to.

All right, let's move on to the candidate, .

Brenda's priorities are … more of the same.

I mean, fair enough. She could have just submitted a blank page, so fair play to her for bothering.

She's going to win anyways.

Next up, we have of the . For the readers amongst us, that's MikE Herron, not MiCk Herron of Slow Horses fame. Shame.

Mick's priorities… Oops, I mean MIKE's priorities include, ah, this is boring. Just go read my toots on the and the .

Now this is interesting. See, it is possible to mention Palestine in a local election leaflet without making yourself seem like a crank.

Although, I should point out that
a. the LibDems also exist (I know I sometimes forget that, but it's true); and
b. the word you're looking for is genocide

@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

Back on the weird admissions front, coming in above the 'international author' thing but still well below the 'hate crime' thing, we have Mike's weird little confession here.

'I am a disillusioned Labour supporter'

Weird, but okay.

Oh, boy. Next up, we have , standing for the party. No, wait. That doesn't sound right.

Anyways.

All right. Let's get back at it. There's just one more candidate to review.

Who do you think it's going to be?

Come on, you know you want to guess. You can do it.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

No guesses? Shame.

Oh well, I'll just shout into the void then. It's what I do best.

The one remaining candidate is none other than of the

Let's have a look at her campaign leaflet, shall we?

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

Let’s dig into this one. Strap in; this is going to be a wild ride.

First off, what is ‘natural marriage’, Maureen? Really? What is it? Define it, please.

Secondly, no one hates you. Get over yourself. We hate the hate you give. We have neither the time nor the energy to hate you. That’s on you. And I suspect you’ve got plenty.

clacksee,
@clacksee@wandering.shop avatar

Thirdly, Maureen was sacked for her behaviour and then ‘a year later she won an out-of-court settlement’.

This is going on the list of weird admissions. I’m going to rate it above the ‘international author’ thing, way below the ‘hate crime’ thing, and maybe slightly below the ‘I support a different party than the one I’m standing for’ thing.

I won ‘an out-of-court settlement’ isn’t vindication, Maureen.

Maureen Martin has been routinely standing for the Lewisham East constituency (just to my constituency, Lewisham-Deptford). She routinely gets a couple hundred votes. Interestingly, the CPA candidate in Lewisham-Deptford is someone called Malcolm Martin, who's also the party president.
