Hello japanophiles, is there anywhere with the same vibes as Miyajima without going so far west? Am happy to take a ferry etc to another island, we’re just not bothered about being in Hiroshima again.

Still looking for these guys. Apparently Shaftesbury avenue is a good shout, but most stores have stock now?
Guys help! If you are passing a Miniso, could you check if they have either of these lads in stock? I have money but no Miniso! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Super excited to share the cover of my children’s book Jacob’s Transition Goals!
Jacob’s Transition Goals is about an 8 year old transgender boy who starts playing football for his local boys team. It’s a joyful story that I wish I’d been able to read when I was a trans kid.
Out April 21st!

To be clear - it’s not one of my books, this is about my endless search for genuinely frightening horror.
Things like cannibalism, murder, animal abuse… are gross and sick social taboo behaviours. Are they of themselves frightening? Heck no. The story needs to work hard, using these things as tools

I'm intrigued - is this one of your books?
Feels like someone's made the connection "this horrified me therefore it's horror."

Are you calling it a horror book because it’s genuinely frightening or are you calling it a horror book because it explores a social taboo

NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.
The planner says those upset about it are "keyboard warriors" who should "calm down"
