No one's talking about how you can just throw your clothes on the floor

@NoreenMasud @frankendodo @CarrollReview Yup, mine has a bit about Carroll's beaver (so to speak)

we're at most like two weeks away from "HRT damages humanity's collective gut health; transitioning is biocide" as the various wellness/deep ecology/MLM/transphobic sectors collide in a dazzlingly hostile diet scheme

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

@mattbevis1 Thank *you* for your help with them!

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

Very pleased that two essays of mine are being published in Nov: one on nonsense and animals, another on earworms and transitional objects (links below). I wrote both 2 years ago – before the pandemic, before I stopped working in universities, and before I realised I was trans x

This might be news to some of you, so it seems kind of fitting that one's appearing under my given name and one under my chosen name. I'd rather you use the latter from now on, please!

@rebeccamakkai It's a loose, baggy monster (one for the Jamesians)

@robert_stagg I'm guessing this is from The Ruins Lesson?? I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

@robert_stagg Wonder who this was 😂

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

@eparpillee ♥️ Pym!

30-year-old me, once restaurants reopen:

You know what I can highly recommend getting ID'd on the eve of your 30th birthday as a balm for the existential dread said birthday may induce. Of course, the champagne and rosé that I was buying will also be an effective panacea, I suspect

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

@andrewhdean I certainly hope so—I don't know if you've heard, but it's Under Attack

[Cassie Westwood @NovelBeast]

Embarrassingly weak stuff from Louise Richardson re #RhodesMustFall, implying that she's the only one taking history seriously ... (1/2)

The Poet's Mistake by @Erica_McAlpine, is a new book that makes the bold argument that even great poets make mistakes in their writing, and that we should recognize gaffes and misspellings for what they are. Out today in #hardcover, #paperback and #ebook: https://t.co/Jl378DwL2U
