Ha! I do like the little call-backs in Stranger Things, to be picked up on a second watch. In series four, when Robin screams at Eddie that they need music, and he brandishes a cassette tape at her, yelling "This is music!" that album is Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden.

Please God, don't nag authors about their books!

I see it’s that time of the month when everyone starts asking when certain authors are going to release books that are way overdue (in their opinion). The answer is never. It’s never happening, read something else.

I like to think I'd be good on The Traitors but if I was selected I would fuck it up before the blindfold came off. Claudia would squeeze me on the shoulder, I would immediately scream "I'M A TRAITOR I'M SORRY" and throw up right on the round table as a moody version of "Oops I Did It Again" plays

Damn, will be missing Traitors tomorrow! I mean, it is to go out and watch Biffy Clyro, so it's not awful but it'll be a social media blackout for me until I can watch 🤣

My favourite corrections to find in novels on a last pass are homophones, because it still feels like such a human thing to identify. And because sometimes they amuse me, such as bells peeling.

More seriously, this is a creative win, with no weaselling about future use. Just a straight up no, because it's a bit rubbish, isn't it?

The gay rams are gonna live rent free in my head
One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com
