@Royal_Greenwich You've planned this masterfully and it's all gone very smoothly, zero notes from me.

🚧 There will be delays in Woolwich, Plumstead and the surrounding areas due to replacement and resurfacing of Pettman Crescent bridge. Temporary lights are in place, read more about closures and diversions in place: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/roadwork-delays

@_McKatie_ Read a few of Mandel's books, she's great.

Things I read in July! No short stories this month (well apart from Ted Chiang) as I've been busy with khoreo submissions, but all of these were excellent. I would especially recommend The Sympathizer for its black humour and general unputdownableness 🇻🇳 ❤️

Get it! Is good!

Remember not to say anything mean about the people murdering children on a daily basis.

I've deleted Twitter off my phone, the compulsion to mindlessly scroll on your phone in any quiet moment (or whilst noisily pooping) is a real brain rotter. (plz ignore the pooping part)

Hey, a new book by an author you love has been announced!🔥 It’s already been written but isn’t coming out for two years. 🤡 My word, trad publishing can be annoying. Two years!…

New story is available to read now in Strange Horizons! 'Sceach Gheal' is the Irish name for the hawthorn, a tree often associated with fairies, not that anybody actually believes in fairies... or do they? 🧚‍♂️ 🌳 🇮🇪 strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fict…

@_McKatie_ Oh, well done!

Americans seem very mad this year that we think it’s quite hot in the UK at the moment.

Wait until they find out what comes out of their taps.

Stop saying ‘I am in you’ when you go to a place. Stop it.

Latest book read. Was gud.

Oh jeez, I have written for CBeebies, if I was still doing so I might have been in with a shot of writing Dr Who…😥

Shocked to hear this.

Why has Tom Cruise been sporting that terrible mop of hair recently?

@paulychilds I thought it was so fun and funny as a kid. Have not watched it since so no idea if I’d still agree with small me..!

@MattStottWrites I was 16 when I saw it. My first time in a multiplex. They just weren't a thing in 1991 unless you lived in a big city or had a car. The "tennis ball moment" had the entire audience up on their feet applauding, clutching their sides. I'd never experienced anything quite like it

We watched this over and over in my house when I was a kid.

Latest book read. My 8th Atkinson book, one of the best authors around.
