Sonic Adventure 2 was my favourite game and I’d just run around making up stories and doing their voices and getting laughed at by my brothers

sometimes I’ll be minding my own business and I’ll remember that in year 8 (13/14yo) our dance teacher had us pairing with boys to do CHAIROGRAPHY to christina aguilera’s candyman and am I clutching pearls a bit or is that an insanely weird thing to do to awkward hormonal teenagers

every so often I go to therapy and the sessions are so funny bc it’s always
me: I have noticed these feelings to do with X how do I fix that
therapist: what if those feelings don’t need to be fixed
me: oh
therapist: will that be cash or card

One thing about me is I LOVE to show my ticket on the train.

Just over 6 weeks since THE BOY I LOVE was published and I’ve just heard how many paperback copies we’ve sold! Mind well and truly blown! Beyond ANYTHING I could ever have hoped for! Thank you to everyone who has taken Stephen and Danny’s story to your heart!

My review of Wanderstop for GamesRadar just went up.

I wasn't expecting to be so moved or challenged by a "cozy" game, but I'm glad I was.

For all my pals working too hard, maybe make yourself a cup of tea and give this a read ❤️

I’m so glad I met @jacquelinewrites.bsky.social thu Working Classicists. One of the real joys of my life in Scotland is being her friend. Shes literally always got my back - for pep talks, practical help, or specifically 30 vegan cupcakes made for an event. Love her so much, just a wonderful person.

my first evening away from baby followed by a metal gig and what an evening it was

Working Classicists @workingclassicists.bsky.social · Mar 7

Yesterday’s book launch event for A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology at Waterstones in Dundee was so much fun! 🤩

Some excellent readers, lots of book stamping, and a very cake-y finish. 🧁

Thank you to everyone who came and chatted with us, so good to meet you all 🥰

A big cake with the cover of the book A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology printed on it, and lots of little cakes with smaller versions of the same design
