I agree with Alice. My experience of Musk’s ‘X’ site is one of incremental decline. I still enjoy most of the content, and will miss the fun, inspiration and information that I glean from my favourite tweeters but the secret of a good life is knowing when it’s time to go.
Been nice knowing you all but X under Musk is not the experience it was, so I won't stay if this happens. I will however miss some of you, feel I've made some friends. Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, is to charge all users subscription fees theguardian.com/technology/2…

ALT Book cover for Matthew Sangster's An Introduction to Fantasy, with art by Brenna Lopes. A figure with a staff facing away from us gazes up a river valley towards an isolated castle. A distant dragon flies past in the sunset sky.
Very pleased to be co-presenting this ‘Sensory Reading’ event with the wonderful Scott Freer.

Not long after this book came out I received an appreciative email from Lenny Kaye (soft lad that I am, it made me cry), on the back of which we began a brief correspondence. Not heard from Lenny in years apart from a deluge of spam that, fittingly, offers me ‘free money’.
