The short spin-off from my very 1st novel is out! The spin-off centres around Amanda's fear of the telephone and something I know many fellow autistics will relate to. It's set 15 years on from the first novel so still retro.

🐈I'm English and joined this platform because I became disenchanted with X. I have been reading a lot about my friends on the other side of the "pond" and can't help but notice the disappointment felt by the return of the frump. Many of us here feel the same. Scared for the US +World peace.

Western nations selling arms to Israel while its Prime Minister has an arrest warrant for war crimes from the ICC issued against him is like selling guns & ammo to someone out on bail awaiting trial for murder.

Harry Leslie Smith reflecting on becoming a child labourer at the age of 7.
But at the age of seven in 1930 in the dimming light of autumn and then winter, I knew everything being done by others to diminish my life was a malevolence no child deserved. jmsmith.substack.com/p/the-ghost-...
The Ghost of Christmas 1930 will come to visit Christmas 2024
By the autumn of 1930, my family had lived rough in doss houses for two years. We had upped sticks half a dozen times, and because of it, nothing felt permanent or secure to me.

Well that didn't last long sadly, MAGA orange maggot supporters are infiltrating Bluesky already. Maybe if no one engages with their idiotic comments, they will give up and go away....perhaps to their Russian bot holes
