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

I know it's not the point. But AI art has this really unique kind of ugliness to it. Even when it's vibrant, or convincing... when you look carefully there is this terrifying absence: Looking into the eyes of an AI avatar is like putting a small part of your soul into a meat grinder.

Weird folk online: Greek mythology was full of beautiful white people. When adapted it needs to be cast only with beautiful white people!!! This is OUR heritage!!!
Actual Greek mythology: Just... like... SO much incest.

I should not be allowed to 'network' alone.
Yesterday at a preview I confidently walked up to a man I recognised but could not remember where from... As we were talking I realised I didn't actually know him. So for five whole minutes I long-form apologised and then walked away.

Every February we mark LGBT+ History Month, celebrating the rich and complex stories and histories of queer people.
Our new reading list brings together books that uncover hidden lives, and place queer people where they have always been: at the heart of social, political, and cultural history.
