Tech run Yesterday, and I open Today. Apparently my tickets are “selling well”, which takes pressure off the hard sell. Come see my show, I think you’ll have a good time with me being silly and joyful about masculinity and worried about robots. www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/alice-fraser-oh-man

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read." Happy birthday, James Baldwin!

@realmsunknown.bsky.social deep dive this week is political alternatives? Think Ai Odyssey or how the Golden Compass was in part a counterargument to Narnia. Or how Starship Troopers movie is a satirical response to Starship Troopers book Let me know your favourite remakes, revisions and replies

New rule, if you’re famous or beloved, you don’t get to have a social media. Especially if you get famous or beloved FROM doing social media

Traveling to Norway for one night to do two shows I packed the red dress, five books, and one spare pair of underpants and woke up at 4am to get to beautiful Oslo Sold the books and gave the red dress to an audience member More people wanted books, so next time I’m aiming for extra luggage allowance

Today’s crop of art by both my 4y/o and my 2 y/o

I don’t really buy the vibe that people should agree with me on stuff. Possible it’s a lack of confidence in my own positions, but I think it’s more that I’m definitely wrong about some things, even ones I believe strongly. But obvs I don’t know what those are (yet), and I WOULD like to find out.

From previous posts, one completed @thebugle.bsky.social jigsaw. Featuring @alicefraser.bsky.social @rialina.com @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social @natogreen.bsky.social @harikondabolu.bsky.social and others in zig-zaggy glory. To my amazement no missing pieces, though there is a duplicate bit of HZ.

Story time: The other day I got in a weird fight. Had met up with the babysitter in the city so I could head to a gig. Three cabs pulled up at the lights and I flagged the first one, hustled my kids in, and made soothing slightly rushed reassurances that I’d see them at home in 3 hours. 1/?

I talk about this in A Passion For Passion! (The show)

The exception is: romance. Romance sales numbers are not permitted to measure importance. When multiauthor romance box sets started to dominate the NYT bestseller list in the early ebook era, they *changed the rules of the list* to exclude them. Sales are what romance gets *instead* of importance.

Just had a meeting with my show director and then a meeting with the person whose show I’m directing. The circle of life

I've been attending @alicefraser.bsky.social's writers' workshops for a few weeks now and it has been excellent for actually getting me to sit down and write and iterate and edit. For the first time ever I have overwritten and am having to actually trim down good stuff to get a new ten.

At Liverpool Street station with six minutes til my train leaves. Testing my cortisol levels by waiting in line at Gail’s to get a tea.

Today’s crop of art by my 4 year old - I gave her some charcoal and for whatever reason, that produced Goblins of varying kinds.

My life has been a lot better since I started muting anyone who decides to publicly express an opinion on world politics founded on nothing deeper than “I read some articles on the topic shared by people I already agree with about everything”.

I will also be at latitude! Come see everyone!

It is not something past ten! It is at the actually quite elegant hour of 9.20pm at the listening post.

@alicefraser.bsky.social I just listened to the Trilogy after hearing you mention it on the John-Luke-a-Palodcast, and really enjoyed! And I loved Chronos/Twist. I was hoping to see Mythos but the ABC link is currently broken. This is the only place I can find it: www.podchaser.com/creators/ali...

The work of art is the WORK of art. Impediments and hindrances and friction are not always the worst thing. I rarely admire a piece of art by reference to how efficiently it was produced. https://alicefraser.com https://www.patreon.com/alicefraser

Someone’s definitely done the joke where Helen of Troy’s face is just a boat ramp, right?
