I'm exhausted, but the first draft of Lizzie Hardwicke book 4 has just gone to my editor and agent. I hate this bit - waiting for the first people to read the worst version of the novel. But, it can only get better from here. ❤️💙💚💜

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Folklore flows between generations like unending river. The yesterday holding hands with the now as it walks into tomorrow. This is how each child knows which hill is hollow, which one contain's an old king's bones or a way down to St. Martin's Land. – #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

1/ A thread about James C. Scott and rivers. It seems (?) Scott had been preparing another polymath magnum opus about rivers over the last 20 years, in addition to research on Burma. I hope he left enough notes and drafts that his protégés & students can write something up.

Here is my new short film about the heritage of Romany Gypsies!
It’s about what you can see and what you can’t: the landscape that exists only in the eyes of those with the stories passed down to them.
Written, filmed, and composed by me.

Cutting the welfare bill to cut taxes for the well off, Sunak says that like it isn’t actually the most galling and contemptible shit imaginable.
Four million kids in poverty. Public services in ruins.
Sunak is an absolute cunt, frankly.

So Rishi Sunak just took a question from a hi-vis jacket-wearing man at a campaign event in a McVities warehouse.
It turns out the man is actually local Conservative councillor Ross Hills.
Hills just admitted to me to being asked to appear at the event
