Tailoring time.
This will be the last photo I’ll share before he’s finished 😁
With very kind permission from the Terry Pratchett Estate, he will be up for grabs in this year’s auction for wildlife. He is life size and completely handmade ♥️

I've been sitting with the news that Scholastic is self-censoring their Book Fairs since Tuesday. On Thursday I was invited to speak at a Scholastic Graphix party, and this is what I said. It's an earnest plea for the company with whom I have made so many books to do better.

After a summer in which virtually every franchise and comic-book film under-performed at the box office, I think the age of the murder mystery is upon us. I want glamorous whodunits with all-star casts. I want to see old ladies solving crimes

apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breasts, clothing and voice are constantly scrutinized as "not feminine enough" is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

This week on #SFFBooksILove, A WIZARD’S GUIDE TO DEFENSIVE BAKING by @UrsulaV
Has a soft magic system but hard magic stakes. A girl with a sourdough familiar. One of the most creative war scenes I’ve ever seen.
A dark fantasy, has commentary on police brutality. Must read!

As a cis woman, I DEPLORE what is being done in my ‘defence’. Trans rights are human rights and I stand with trans people and reiterate their rights to be, their rights to protection, their rights to equality and appropriate medical care and everything that enables life, ffs.

Things are really grim for small businesses at the moment and tbh I’m feeling pretty rotten about it.
I would really appreciate it if you had a look at my gift shop and gave this tweet a like or RT.
Thank you, pals x
