If I had to pick a website that changed my worldview, it would be @OurWorldInData.

We live in an era where the headlines are filled with negativity: the loudest voices paint a picture of decline, crisis and chaos. But what if we took a step back? (1/5)

Had a lovely time at the 'Routledge Handbook of AI & Literature' launch. Very excited to have a chapter in it. So excited, in fact, that I forgot to take any photos except a random selfie of the lovely Jo Nadin and me standing by the SS Great Britain (launch party location)

Since everyone seems to be shifting to Blue Sky, I thought I'd follow (I'll stay here too, though - as despite the obvious issues, it makes me laugh, and there are still lots of lovely people hanging around).
If you're over there, and fancy giving me a wave, I'd love it!

Nick Cave on cynicism vs hope... hell yes

@LloydCymru Vienna, a bit bland and smelled of horse poo (to be fair to Vienna, I've only been a couple of times, so the horses may just have been having bad days, intenstinally, when I chose to visit)

Should you ever happen to be passing through Riyadh, I highly recommend taking a trip to Edge of the World and watching the sun go down

**Book News** My new book, a herstory prequel to Jason & the Argonauts, is available from Amazon (paperback & kindle version) from Sunday 15 December, in case you're looking for last minute Christmas presents...also via publisher @b10track & indie bookstores after Christmas.

[Lu Hersey 📚🌾 @LuWrites]

Are there any #bookbloggers left in this twilight of twitter wilderness who'd like an epub of my new book? It's a herstory prequel to Jason and the Argonauts. I would say asking for a friend, but obvs it's me.

@tiafisher_ Oooh, trumpets. Now I feel special 🤣
