I don't know about you, but this year has been a whole load of dwindling freelance opps, funding rejections and job ad rebuffals coming out of my ear holes. But I do know what I'm doing, promise.

In more 'What I've Been Watching' news, I'd like to thank @joebarton.bsky.social for the line: "I didn't come all this way to hide in a cupboard" (now inexplicably & indelibly etched onto my brain) & tell you all to watch The Lazarus Project – a brilliant, full-of-heart take on the time travel genre
