Remember all my mad book drama?

(If not, buy me a pint and I'll sing you the ballad of the dodgy ex-publisher...)

Well, I'm absolutely delighted to say it's over!

An enormous thanks to my wonderful new publisher @manchesterup.bsky.social

Queer As Folklore will be back in the wild! 🧜🏼‍♂️

My improv teacher has been getting us to do 'object work' where you mime or imagine using an object. Every time she demos one for us, she is then stuck with the imaginary object and has to put it down! So there is a chair covered in invisible teacups, and tennis rackets!! 😅

Every time I'm on a panel I tell myself I won't get on my soap box and be overly wordy and pretentious... Oh well! 😅

Thanks @brightonuni.bsky.social and the Coast Is Queer Team!!!

DJ Ritu, myself and Eleanor Medhurst at the Culture Is Queer panel on queer history. I'm holding a mic and looking tired!

Me: Who's my clever handsome boy?!

My clever handsome boy:

A white cat with black tail and forehead speckles with his tongue sticking out.

Is it Welsh or is he just tired?

You definitely don't need to have played HK. I think Silksong has earned a real reputation for being punishing... One that I think is a bit exaggerate d. I am far from a 'great' gamer and I'm having a blast!

I'm occasionally asked what my favourite queer videogame representation is... Folk are surprised when I say it's the Hollow Knight series!

@teamcherry.bsky.social do not get enough props for their subtle and beautiful LGBTQ+ inclusion.

Without giving too much away: The two cogwork dancers from Silksong.
