I don't care what you say, Mew is purposefully mimicking the vibe of Willem Dafoe's weird poses here. She knows what she's doing!

Finished watching Sugar Season 2. Another ten out of ten for me. And they know just how to end it, too, with the return of the goodest boy.

"Have you never heard of the Womble? I once saw him review three books at once with a fucking pencil!"

Happy International Cat Day from Past Mahmud & Baby Mew

"I am a servant of the Dirty Laundry, wielder of the claws of Mew. You cannot pass! The Washing Machine will not avail you, Human Butler. Go back to doing the dishes. You cannot pass!"

"Are you talkin' to me?"

Now I am become The Sea People, Destroyer of World

"Burn ham?"

Reverse Mew arrives, eats Mew's dinner, glares and then leaves. #Notmycat

Mews Lee and the one-inch skippidy pap. Whaaaa!

Mew-loaf. "Like a cat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes..."

"Let me tell you something, Telemachus, your father Odysseus came up with the whole Trojan Horse thing and that's why we won the whole damn war basically."

Count Binface is on Newsnight. Let's go!

Had a fun time at the bradfordlitfest.bsky.social with the @futureworldsprize.bsky.social gang. I got to proselytise about Dune & A Clockwork Orange and warn against the dangers of AI, hitting all the sci-fi sweet spots.

Egypt prepare for penalties by watching a Youtube video. They're me fr. Historic victory. I'm so proud!

My current WIP in four movie references:

Thank you @aliettedebodard.com. I'm literally finishing up Book 2 and hint yes there are a lot more Juma shenanigans. I've somehow stumbled into metamodernist science fiction 😅

They're messing with THIS Ibrahim Hassan? Yes, he's the one grabbing the Lebanese soldier's rifle by the barrel during an altercation after an international match. I would probably leave him alone.

It's called metamodernism, Tone. It's like when you take the idealism of modernism and the irony of postmodernism and oscillate between the two. Like using a Sopranos meme to explain a new cultural paradigm.

Avengers: Doomsday trailer just dropped and what in the Tutankhamun is going on here?

Happy Pub Day to ⚛️⚰️ by @benedictanning.bsky.social

Mew is flabbergasted I am working so late. I'm on a deadline, Mew. Give me a break!

If you can't immortalise your cat in print, what's even the point of being a writer? Hilal bent down slowly and held out a metal hand. Mew, intrigued, crept forward and delicately sniffed her platinum fingers. “Hello, Mew,” she said, patting the cat gently. “What’s the rumpus?”

Me watching Iraq play Norway at the World Cup and explaining the Sunni/Shia schism, the battle of Karbala and Ashura

BBC commemtator says Al-Ahly are the "current champions of Egypt." No, mate, it's Al-Zamalek. I was there!

What it's like being a writer: "He's trying to live happily. Introduce an inciting incident."

Egypt 2920: The new New Administrative Capital has just finished completion. Robot President Fulan Al-Fulani has announced peace talks to halt the war between Cairo's driverless cars and Tuk-tuk gangs. In the North, the mer-people of Port Said make their plans...

Had a lovely chat @kings-dfi.bsky.social Festival of Storytelling yesterday with @catamaroon.bsky.social & @stewarthotston.com ahead of the @clarkeaward.bsky.social announcement. For once, I wasn't the first one to bring up the perils of AI 🤣

Four star review for THE REPUBLIC OF MEMORY from @sfxmagazine.bsky.social "An admirably ambitious novel that repays slow reading... "

I'm not big on crowds usually but when Al-Zamalek win the league and I'm in town, exceptions must be made. سمعنا يا عم الحدوتة
