So far, I turned off my alarm, but my bladder woke me up anyway. I sprayed the wrong nasal spray up my nose, broke the nozzle off my expensive serum and splattered my moisturizer all over my room. Oh and I’m late for work. I should just go back to bed, right? #badday

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused. Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour. History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

Not gonna lie, I keep forgetting to post on here 🫣 Here’s the cover for my next book ☺️ it’s called “SUPER GOAT GIRL” and it’s written by the awesome Tracey Baptiste. It’s really cool and it’s out July 15th (US) and 17th (UK). Can’t wait for yous to see it. ☺️

Book cover artwork has a little blue Goat character, wearing a yellow, navy and red outfit with her hands on her hips.

Agree. I feel total despair looking at Izreal killing with impunity because they’re playing narcissistic political games. Who will ever stop them?

Daniel Levy: "Israel has gone so far past that line of what's legal internationally that one can only look in despair at the unwillingness of those who claim to uphold the international legal system to actually challenge these ongoing illegal actions"

“She sheds boyfriends like snakes shed their skin,” he says. Debra pauses and sighs. Should she point out his double standards? Their daughter, sitting at the counter, lifts her head from her book. “I Talking of sheds, shouldn’t you go spend some time in yours.” #vss365 #prompt #shed

A shape has layers of being. Take a square, at first a mere quadrilateral with four sides. Later add corners, and four equal sides. Later still a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Whereas I am a squiggly line On the right side of the page. #vss365 #prompt #shape

Skipping through the just watered grass barefoot, she dances on the hot concrete, till she finds her abandoned flip flops and slips them on. Then she squints at her hand, her palm pink one side, her skin brown on the other. She is four. In this moment, she knows she is other. #vss365 #prompt #skin

I’ve been seeing these #Vss365 things recently. It took me a while to find out what it was and where to get the prompt (Septimus Brown until June 15), but it’s fun. Photos, poetry, six word stories, or micro-fiction. It’s all honing your writing craft, surprisingly fun and HARD.
