Writer people! If you are querying literary fiction, please comment below. I need my feed to include writers whose work is less...commercially desirable. 😆 But for real.

Two things I particularly adore is when pitch events explicitly specify 1) no AI and 2) that you must use Alt text on images. Makes me feel like there's hope for the future of the industry!

The Greater War. The forbidden love story of In Memoriam meets the gritty action of Masters of the Air, when the tentative romance between an RAF Pilot and his engineer risks their personal freedom in the midst of the fight for the liberty of Europe. #letmeseePIT #W #R #HR

The Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler. Not only a remarkably gripping, vivid book in itself, but alarmingly prophetic in many ways.

legalising assisted dying when you're simultaneously slashing disability benefits is simply coercing people into suicide and could legally be considered manslaughter

On a purely moral basis - rooted in my belief in choice and bodily autonomy - I believe in assisted dying and choice in death. HOWEVER. I do not believe that assisted dying can ever be safely implemented without first rooting out systemic and cultural ableism and eugenics.

If you’re struggling in the wake of the proposed benefits cuts and/or the assisted dying bill, please remember: nothing is changing overnight. There are good people out there — people who care. Here’s a reminder of some places you can call. Stay safe if you possibly can. Love Jay

Showing up in my comments to say, ‘ChatGPT has merits, actually’, will get you an immediate block, in case you were wondering.

Brilliantly said.

Just finished reading Radical Love and putting it on my very very short list of 5* reads. I'm deeply moved by this book. There's so much in it and it's one of those books that I'm just so grateful someone wrote. And wrote so amazingly. Thank you Neil Blackmore
