Can't believe it has been a week since Edinburgh's Radical Book Fair & 200odd folk filled the roxy for Feminist Cabaret!
Ye can rewatch #WomenLifeFreedom, @ceciliaknapp, Lady Unchained, @Djana_Gabrielle, @caitlinstobie, @MarblesMag & @kirstylawmusic:

Still reading The Lost Arabs by Omar Sakr because it's a lot at times and hits way too close. I can confirm that Do Not Rush made me cry. Fresh, yet intimately familiar, pain in every poem.

Shout out to #TheExpanse for being the best sci-fi show out there and for maintaining its brilliant quality to the very end. Truly going to miss this show! #TheExpanseFinale

We know a lot of indies are really feeling this just now, a bruising start the year.
REMINDER: Money spent with local biz stays local & has a far greater impact than through chains or online- Especially with ethically minded indies, #SocialEnterprise & co-ops.
We need you! 1/🧵

Today's read is Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh 🌿🧚♂️ A queer novella with fairytale elements. It's a charming little read for a quiet evening 📚 My review: goodreads.com/review/show/44…
A lovely queer re-imagining of a Scottish folk ballad 💕
Tamlin by Aven Wildsmith is such a lovely book 🌿 Check out my review of #Tamlin in the next tweet 💕
I love small businesses and Etsy shop owners sm, they're all so sweet when you talk to them, I wish I had lots of money to spend in independent/small shops to support them. Here is your reminder to shop at a small business this holiday season and avoid ama//zon if you can.
Is there anything more satisfying in the world than the dressing down Lizzie gives to Darcy after he proposes to her in Pride & Prejudice (1995)

I haven't commented on the 27 refugees who lost their lives a couple of days ago or interacted with the news because it hits way too close. I'm so tired. My heart is so full of grief. It's hard to navigate the line between action and caring for your own mental health.
