So I wrote a book. A short one. It's really not long at all. But anyway, it's out now on digital and paperback.
Space Tradies: Master of None.

[Violence against women is the] "single greatest human rights violation of our generation."
"I do what I do in my mother's name, because I couldn't help her then. Now I can."
-Sir Patrick Stewart

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

In a sane society if someone said “you have to pay me $30 to look at the ocean” we would throw them into that same ocean

If you’re a man saying you’ve never seen other men say horrifying things about women and sexual assault I implore you to go to one singular open mic

You’re not protecting women and girls.
You’re abusing those you deem other and putting cis women and girls in danger as well.
Demonising our healthcare, normalising abusive language and portraying it as some form of “justice” is pure evil.
You have blood on your hands.

apparently i’m an ‘intellectual snob’ for disliking gen ai.
i mean, you’re wrong. i’m a nobody writer juggling three jobs. i am the furthest thing from a snob. but let’s say i was.
better a snob than a lazy thief who can’t think for themselves whilst killing the planet.
The train was delayed. Genuinely, I was gonna jump in front of one, and it was late. I was looking at the time, and going "Fucks sake, it was due ten minutes ago" and that absurdity snaped me out of it, and I started laughing.

X user @Parodyjeffx was reportedly suspended after sharing a screenshot of a Grok describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. Grok was also temporarily suspended in 2025 for similar responses. X’s ownership includes billionaire Larry Ellison, a close friend of Netanyahu.

Today, I’m recommending four essential works by physicist Robert L. Forward, renowned for his rigorous hard SF.
Dragon’s Egg (1980): The sesame-seed-sized alien cheela living on the 67-billion-g surface of a neutron star experience time roughly a million times faster than humans, evolving from savagery to overtaking humanity technologically in a single day.
Starquake (1985): The sequel to Drago’s Egg sees the cheela threatened by a catastrophic star quake, leaving human scientists orbiting above with only a day to save them.
Rocheworld (1984): An interstellar ship encounters an alien species living on a bizarre contact-binary world whose two lobes share an atmosphere and a common ocean. :
Camelot 30K (1993): An expedition to a planetoid in the Kuiper Belt establishes first contact with the keracks, an alien species adapted to a world with a surface temperature just 30 degrees above absolute zero.

Today, I’m recommending four essential works by Marta Randall, known for her exploration of family, power, and immortality.
Islands (1976): Randall’s debut novel follows one of the few remaining mortals in a future where immortality has become medically achievable for almost everyone.
Journey (1978): A family of settlers attempts to build a utopian community on another world, altering the lives of the local kasirene.
Dangerous Games (1980): The sequel to Journey finds the Kennerin colony fending off a predatory corporation, Parallax, while the kasirene press old claims for justice.
A City in the North (1976): A science fiction take on Heart of Darkness in which humans venture into the mysterious territory of an alien civilization, with their colonial presence having dire consequences for the native species.
