I try to have a nice #garden Buy new plants each year Grow veggies and flowers I'm out there for hours Curating everything I see Then a heatwave comes A hosepipe ban My plants wither and die But sure Local data center Guzzle water while we fry! 🤬 #vss365 #poem #fuckAI

Stray dog passing by: "Sir, I beg your pardon. I need to poop and would like to use your garden.". Adding friendly-faced, "May I come and do the deed?" Resident human: "By no means. Not even on the weed." Threateningly, the stray dog's face began to harden. vss365 #lomerick #dogs

I've got a new man. 😊 This wax life sculpture is still at the initial stage. Lots of carving to do to find his musculature. It's good to start on a new dancer after focusing so hard to perfect my last peice & get it to the foundry before the heatwave. #artistofbluesky #art #sculpture

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, or this man. I do not like his orange face I do not like his “master race.” He is not welcome He is not nice I’d like to see him fed to mice. youtu.be/igPpR6LsFKA?...

Don't be #Evil Google's old mission statement Tossed on the scrapheap Of avarice and greed What once helped humanity Is now a hindrance Bloated and diseased Pumping out poisonous disinformation Hallucinating a facsimile of 'truth' Delete #Google Humanity Is all we've got to lose #vss365 #poetry

#writingcommunity My latest novel 'Need to Know' goes on sale on 14th August. I was planning to rest up...but somehow I've started on bk2 'Sub Rosa'. I have 4.500 words. The book is going to need a shit-tonne of research cos it's set in a city I've never visited. I'm gonna learn SO much stuff! 😊

My dad lives next door. He just called me "Err... sorry, but can you go over to mine and turn the bath off. I popped out. I'm in a queue and forgot I was running a bath" 😱 I run over, freaked out... to discover he put the plug in, threw some bubblebath in... but didn't turn the water on. 😂

Thank God Phew

You were a bullet hole Thought I told myself you were a spark Love was self-delusion Now I'm #toiling alone in the dark The wound you gave healed Grew scar tissue But my skin is still far too thin It would only take a smile A hello For it to split... Let you back in #vss365 #emotery #poem

#writingcommunity I am very ambivalent about a lot of what is considered the 'business' of book marketing. A reader who will only engage with my books if they're free is not my intended audience. Know your worth, my friends. Your art has value.

I've been getting ARC requests for my new novel. I turn them down. Maybe some authors will think me weird, but I haven't done ARCs since 2018 - when I discovered my then novel on a pirate site before release day. I'm grateful that my books still sell. I write cos I love it, not to chase reviews.

#writingcommunity #Indieauthors I cannot recommend this enough. You need to do an OUT LOUD read-through of your manuscript before you upload it. Reading it aloud enables you to understand the rhythm and flow of the words. It helps you find where things don't flow and fix them.

At 16 I went to my GP with debilitating period pains that led to me fainting...he told me 'Why don't you have a baby...that should sort it out.' 🙄 Men!

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

I love old doors. I imagine the lives of the people who have passed through them over hundreds of years. #artistsofbluesky

Finally, a bounty from my fig tree. The first fruit. It's only 3 figs, not enough for jam, but the signs are good for next year. #gardening #grow #fruit

How women in the Irish music/comedy/arts/entertainment industry in general don't go completely insane is beyond me. Same issues over and over and over. How many have been subtly, quietly pushed out or felt they had no choice but to abandon careers. How much talent have we silently lost.

I've got a #fertile imagination A vibrant inner life While you pay for entertainment I'm free, and in for the night! Typing out my daydreams Spinning yarns of other lives Inventing wild scenarios as my character duck & dive Wouldn't have it any other way Love my exciting #writerslife #Vss365 #poem

Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.
