I mean if there were awards for jokes…

We got into 3rd place partly because I knew that Geri ‘Thatcher Shagger’ Halliwell’s debut solo single was Look at Me & honestly I’m ashamed of me too.

I'd love to reach more readers, if possible, so here's a wee re-introduction! Retweets appreciated!

Hello, my name's Emma and I'm a Scots language author and journalist!

I write in the leid and about the leid (sometimes at the same time) and tell stories that span generations.

Well, we came 3rd in the pub quiz (out of 17) - happy with that!

Tell someone you love how bloody awesome they are today xxx

don't have a pic cos I read the ebook but The Chain by Chimene Suleyman was honestly life-changing to read, I could not put it down and now I can't stop thinking about it - if you haven't read it I really really must recommend it ❣️

Massive congrats to Nidhi & José!

This, from Iqbal Hussain #NorthernBoy means the absolute world to me. Iqbal’s novel #NorthernBoy (out in June) is set in a similar time & place & I just adored it. #booktwitter

This is beyond perverse. Fossil fuel companies prepared to profit from genocide.

I’ve been working (when I have time) on an MG story about a kid called Ellie Hawkins who can jump into any photograph, often accidentally bringing back a leopard to the playground or delivering a confused zebra to a zebra crossing. She is, in all honesty, a bit of a jerk.

Buy your comics in London? The lovely lounge lizards at Gosh! Comics are stocking THE MIRAGE. Get on it before they run out!

If Alan Turing came back rn he wouldn’t merrily be like ‘why hello everyone - I’m not dead!’ - he be like ‘your government is still treating gays like THIS?!? Ffs - VOTE! THEM! OUT!’

Dreamt I was carrying out a heist. In a swimming pool.

We want to introduce you to some young poets in Gaza.

Through the genocide, they have not stopped writing.

Most have been made homeless.

All want to escape.

They need all of our help, so we want to tell you about them. 🧵

I’m honestly just so stressed out by the current job I’ve been working on that it’s really made me rethink the direction my career’s going atm. I’m just so much happier when working on narrative. That’s not what I’m doing rn & I’m honestly just beating myself up over it x

What I love about Doctor Who fandom is that it’s such an inclusive place where everybody is welcome. But if you come with your homophobic / transphobic / racist views, I do have to wonder if we’ve been watching the same programme.
