Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

I've talked to multiple authors, both on and off the podcast, who have said stuff akin to "I didn't want to add in an explicit scene but I felt pressure to do so" sometimes that pressure was readers, sometimes knowing kudos would be lower if they didn't include an E rated scene. 1/

Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period.
The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.
