this is a better and more thorough examination of the @thebookseller piece than I could manage to write - go on, have a browse. Sam is wise*. (*that was *not* a LOTR joke)

“Life is liquid, not solid; a process, not a result; the present, not the future,” he writes. “Life is a process. We’re losing the concept of ‘becoming,’ because this, too, is circular.” austinkleon.com/2023/09/27/kei…

“The natural world is essentially circular; our heartbeats are not like a click-track or a drum machine; there are different kinds of time, and we don’t only die when we are dead.” —Keith Jarrett

I left my house at 8:15pm to go pick up my partner. I am currently on a closed motorway. Current projections for reopening the M3 are after midnight.. which means I will turn 44 on a closed motorway. What’s the best birthday you’ve ever had? 😂 #birthday #tired #bored

@clastee I can offer a 1 year old for a cuddle, if that’s any help? Reasonable rates. Usually on a Wednesday. (Take it easy on yourself. You’re doing an amazing job of being you)

sometimes I feel foolish for daring to believe I might be ok, then I knock myself out on the rungs as I fall further and further down and down the depression ladder 😞

One of the first things I'm asked when I put a piece of work out is 'what is it then?' So I wrote a (short) book to answer that. If you'd like a digital copy, it's free. iBooks only, as Kindle doesn't permit fixed-layout eBooks anymore.. books.apple.com/gb/book/ambien…

I’m mostly off this place and elsewhere, but if you’re still out there, then this is your midwinter read. Thanks Simon.

First review we ever had for any game at @inkleStudios was a hit piece for our / @RealDaveMorris’s adaptation of Frankenstein in The Observer, where they called it a “digital butchery”. It was a pretty intimidating! Thankfully, @edgeonline’s review of @AHighlandSong is not that!
inkle is EXPELLED!@inkleStudios

The team at inkle towers is over the moon today. Print deadlines mean that an early review of @AHighlandSong from @edgeonline is already starting to circulate, thanks also to super speedy posties. And.... we couldn't be happier.

International students are not migrants. They aren’t planning on settling in the U.K., the vast majority return home after their studies. They also contribute nearly £42 billion per annum to the U.K. economy. Take them out of the migration statistics, they don’t belong there.
