It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It's wild that I graduated from two universities and I give a monthly donation to the students of one, yearn for it, wrote a book set at it, would love there, would get married there, wish I was there right now, and for the other I don't even cheer them on in university challenge.

7th October—

On this day in #NotQuiteOut! Will sees Dan again, but is he brave enough to start a conversation?

If you're reading along with us, this is chapter 3!

Text which reads: my eyes flash to the counter and he's there, heartbreakingly gorgeous and looking for all the world like nothing's wrong.
4 greyscale photos: a man smoking, someone walking, leaves on the ground, glass vials

A list of dates and correlating chapters: today is 7th October and matches to chapter 3

Think that would be an expensive day trip from the UK 💔

Ske-Lou-Ton 💀 @louwrites.bsky.social · 4d

Fairly! Not a lot of social interaction plus a 24hr work rota (for the company I work for). I'd prefer something steadier and bookselling was an absolute dream (even at peak season!)

Ske-Lou-Ton 💀 @louwrites.bsky.social · 4d

I deeply wish I could! But it's so much work and I have 0 money to put behind it. Or storage!

When I started bookselling I was on £8.91/hr and... listen... I'd go back to that hourly rate right now if I could get back into the bookselling world. (I'm currently on £13.06)

I have a real bad habit of 'fixing' song lyrics when I don't think they quite work and I both love and hate myself for it

Today is for autumnal joy so I've:

- gone for coffee with my parents
- had Halloween cereal for breakfast
- made myself coffee in a pumpkin shaped mug
- had soup for lunch
- carved out time this afternoon to proofread

On this day in #NotQuiteOut!

Buy my book here: relinks.me/B08BS2GM9Z

Greyscale photos of smoke, snow, a glass, a party, and a person sat on their own. Text reads: I'm not convinced it's a healthy relationship, if you know what I mean.
