a lot of love for the RNLI, as is right. once people are rescued and on dry land they need support and solidarity – consider donating to migrants' rights network too, or using their resources to get involved migrantsrights.org.uk

I just love to see my cool, clever and talented friends being cool, clever and talented!

right would anyone i know with a podcast/stream/blog etc be up for letting me come talk about kraldum a bit? we could chat about archaeology in games, or designing around unique settings, i could do a mudlarking finds show and tell, tell you some river ecology facts, whatever feels fun

I delivered a workshop for UCL's Creative Freelancers Exchange programme, on how creative freelancers and employers can build stronger, more collaborative working relationships. You can read the co-produced guidance document here: www.ucl.ac.uk/creative-cul... I'd love to know what you'd add?

If you're not following Tor you're missing a whole lotta cool, weird, queer, brilliant, beautiful stuff.

I would like Sinner to absolutely dismantle Djokovic, please. #wimbledon

Sorting out my kid's hearing aid might break me. Aid issued in Lancs; we now live in Brum. Can the hospitals share records? Apparently not. Has it been fixed by Brum after I was told it was impossible? Apparently. Will they give it back? Not without an audiology appointment. Waiting time? Unknown.

I am so excited to share the preview for KRALDUM, my solo mudlarking RPG coming this autumn to Gamefound for RPG Party 2026. lots, lots more to come, but you can read a bit about the project here and click follow to see how it develops. I'd appreciate it grandly! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Sharon D Clarke in a queer Othello focusing on misogynoir? TAKE MY MONEY.

Oh look, it's @mrdavebyrne.bsky.social being brilliant again.

Look, I know it's easy to have a pop at Starmer, but that was an incredibly honourable resignation he was forced into kicking & screaming, & his words that everyone who disagreed with him was morally bankrupt & his appeasement of fascists & transphobes was for the good of the country was v. moving

Did you know you can just... have a massive bowl of coleslaw for lunch, and then have an ice lolly?

"Books and biscuits" event at school this afternoon. Three emails this morning about sports day in a fortnight. Nursery closed on Weds so September's new starters can do a stay-and-play session. Thursday a face-to-face meeting with the little one's reception teacher. The admin of primary school!

You can buy my brilliant friend's beautiful game, and you should.

Spoke for 20mins without notes, said all the right things. I was impressed. #VoteGreenInBrum

Normal people, giving advice: Maybe some words of encouragemen? Me giving advice: You might have to Henry the Fifth them, give them a bit of Harfleur.

Between trying to get paid by a university and trying to sort out my kid's broken hearing aid, I have been a down a lot of administrative rabbit holes this morning...

Go fuck yourselves, you awful bastards.

Tor is so talented, and also delightful. Hire them?

I'm gonna laugh so fucking much when Lammy loses his seat in the next election.

Yesterday Hannah Spencer MP came to Birmingham to help us celebrate having a candidate in every single one of the 101 Birmingham local council seats, meaning EVERYONE in Brum can #VoteGreen on May 7! #VoteGreenInBrum

Labour has succeeded in uniting Birmingham. The trouble for John Cotton is that he has united the city in wanting to get rid of Labour. www.expressandstar.com/news/birming...

Six months' work here, and great to see it out in the world. And a real pleasure to work with @jonturney.bsky.social properly for the first time after 20-odd years of editing/proofing/discussing each other's work.

Always nice to see something one's been working on for months appear in the real world!

Publication day news! I am so thrilled. No One Talks About This Stuff, my "support group in a book" for everyone going through the utter hell of infertility, is out on audiobook today. You can buy it here, or listen for free by ordering it from your local library www.audible.co.uk/pd/No-One-Ta...

Long and detailed conversation with the 7-year-old about why we still have a King (they're studying monarchs at school), leading to discussion about electoral democracy, leadership, traditions etc. Agreed that we don't think it's sensible to have a King. 4-year-old's solution? "I should be Queen."

I have said it before and I will say it again. A three generation global moratorium on men running for office or being hired for top jobs would do us a great deal of good.
