We only need 69 more Amazon ebook preorders to get my queer dystopian novella onto the Dystopian Fiction bestseller list! I despise Amazon, but a “bestseller” tag hugely helps with visibility across the board. Preorder here (ebook only, physical doesn’t count for the rankings): amzn.eu/d/050j2IzU

A very bad man perished across the pond and Nigel Farage is polling behind Count Binface. What a glorious morning.

My friend @katrinaslibrary.bsky.social just had a birthday party where she gave us all the components to make mini e-readers, and we assembled them ourselves. I added little charms that I got given at a festival. Unbelievably cool, I love it! 📚💙

Just went to a flea market and got this stack of 10 books for £10 total! Everything was £1 each including hardbacks. Cursed Daughters JUST came out! Ahh the sweet sweet book bargain dopamine. 📚💙

Just watched Pitbull in Hyde Park with 70,000 other Baldies, achieving a Guinness World Record for the most people with bald caps on in one place. And it was SO FUN.

The only thing keeping me going in this heat is the possibility of Count Binface beating Nigel Farage in an election. Please, people of Clacton. You have the opportunity to do the most satisfyingly hilarious thing ever. Vote Binface! I genuinely love him.

Watching Pursuit of Jade cdrama with Zhang Linghe and I’m obsessed with his hair. More ludicrously long hair on male leads please. Also this show is fantastic.

Happy release day to Badmouths and Bards by @azaleacrowley.bsky.social! I’m halfway through this DnD-inspired queer poly romance with two hunky bards and their grumpy monk bodyguard. I’m having a GREAT time. “I want two boyfriends and those boyfriends to be boyfriends” vibes. 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚💙

Nothing says “you’re pushing 40” like targeted ads offering divorced men in your “golden age”. NO THANK YOU.

Just saw BTS for the first time, in a stadium full of ARMY having the best time. Incredible show, amazing performers. Once in a lifetime experience. #kpop

Queer books for South Asian Heritage Month! Dulhaniyaa by Talia Bhatt Here to Slay by Radhika Sanghani The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar Twice Lived by Joma West A Tide of Treason by A.B. Daniels-Annachi The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈

I’m a few chapters into this and it’s brilliantly bizarre. A comedy spec fic novel about a world where social hierarchy is determined by one’s perception of colour. I love a crazy concept and this is instantly gripping. 📚💙

I have reached 1 million likes on TikTok. Not sure what that means. No one ever asks how many likes you have. Seems like a useless number. BUT this is likely the only time in my life that I will have a million ANYTHING. So… hooray?

Took my Ilya outfit and Heated Rivalry flag to London Pride! Madonna was rumoured to be turning up later on, possibly also with Connor Storrie, but I was too tired after Metallica to stick around to find out. Had a great, chill afternoon watching acts and activist speeches. Happy Pride!

Finally saw Metallica live!! They were doing two nights with different set lists and I luckily got the one with Master of Puppets. So happy.

Book recs for Disability Pride Month! Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot The Undetectables by Courtney Smythe Iron Widow by Xirin Jay Zhao Godkiller by Hannah Kaner The Ending Fire trilogy by Saara el-Arifi Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse 📚💙 #disability

Just saw Sam Ryder play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Always bloody loved this show as a lil angry Catholic kid. He was great. His Gethsemane was epic. Also realising it was kinda inappropriate for me to have played Mary Magdalene in a school production when I was 11 years old.

Once a year I suddenly remember short films exist and then binge a bunch. This time it’s existential sci-fi. These were pretty good. #filmsky

I’m going to be an attending author at Fiction Fest next year, my first signing event! I had so much fun at Fiction Fest this year as an attendee, I’m so happy to be returning as a debut author. Dream come true. 📚💙 #writingsky #ffuk27

Avoiding the heatwave by hiding in the cinema. Didn’t expect this film to be about hyperacusis, which I have. Brilliant portrayal of how horrible it is. Perhaps I too could use my super hearing to crack safes… #filmsky

For those who don’t know, there’s a cat called Larry who lives in Downing Street, where the UK Prime Minister is based when in office. His title is Chief Mouser. Larry has been there since 2011. As of Keir Starmer’s resignation this morning, he’s outlasted two monarchs and six prime ministers.

It’s Windrush Day, a day celebrating Caribbean migrants to the UK. I am British-Trinidadian, and my book This is How the World Ends features a British woman seeking asylum in Trinidad during an apocalypse. I wanted to subvert the colonial idea that the UK is superior, when it’s anything but… 📚💙 📚🤎

It’s Windrush Day in the UK, celebrating the contributions of Caribbean migrants to the UK. I’m a British-Trinidadian, queer, trans, disabled author. I wrote a dystopian book about a woman fleeing to Trinidad to escape a fascist, broken Britain. Preorder here (+ on Kobo!): amzn.eu/d/04UixPuc 📚💙

This week’s forecast for London, UK. I wrote a book about a broken Britain, ruined by a climate apocalypse. I called it This is How the World Ends. I wonder where I got my inspiration from…

Happy Autistic Pride Day to my autistic pals! Highly recommend @azaleacrowley.bsky.social’s horrormance books with autistic POC heroines. My favourite is the Odd Blood series, with a himbo vampire LI. www.azaleacrowley.com/books 📚💙 I’m not autistic btw (as far as I know…) but I am neurodivergent.

Spot the Disco! The Henry Moore exhibition at Kew Gardens is great.

Reading this gay graverobbing historical romance right now and I’m having a GREAT time. 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚💙

The incredible author @nicolezelniker.bsky.social blurbed my queer dystopian horror book! I adored We Are Made of Scars and Starlight. Having such an amazing author blurb my book is a dream! This is How the World Ends is publishing in September, you can preorder here: amzn.eu/d/02csWjjI 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈

My partner and I just celebrated our ten year anniversary by watching sumo wrestling live in London. I’ve always wanted to see sumo and it was the best thing ever!

I just unboxed my author copies for my debut queer dystopian horror book! I’m SO happy! The incredible cover by @drewhuff.bsky.social looks even better in print! Full unboxing here: vm.tiktok.com/ZNRv7Ruye/ Preorder here: amzn.eu/d/0cSfJV3E Happy Pride! 📚💙 📚🏳️‍⚧️ 📚🏳️‍🌈
