@Louiestowell I have been wandering around in my enormous oodie whose sleeves hang down way past my hands muttering 'my arms are too long'.

Harper Lee’s friends gifted her a year’s financial support for Christmas so she could write whatever she wanted without worrying about money and she used it to write To Kill a Mockingbird in case you're wondering what to get your creative friends this year

It's almost that time of year when all the tax-dodging celebs appear on our televisions telling poor people to 'give what you can' so that the government can shirk its responsibility towards the most vulnerable in our society. #ChildrenInNeed #pudsey

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

I've recommended this book (and its sequel) to so many people - it's pacy, gripping and terrifying, and may very well haunt your dreams.

[Peadar Ó Guilín (Also @TheCallYA @oldelephant.ie) @TheCallYA]

I can't believe it. With scary season just around the corner, I haven't reminded you all to read my terrifying novel, The Call.

Read it for halloween! Buy it for a friend. Give your worst enemy a copy with the last chapter missing.

You know you want to.
I want you to.
I want...

Old people don’t evacuate. At some point you’d rather take your chances at home than try to escape. I think this is an international human truth. Every time I went into a place getting bombed, it was full of old people, disabled people, confused people. That’s who gets bombed.

@tashkindred OK well now I need to look into perfume tumblr and opera tumblr immediately

@BooksandChokers I'm so sorry Elle, what a horrific thing to go through. Very best wishes to you.

[Gemma @GemIsWriting]

@BlondeHistorian I think people who dismiss incidents like these as not 'newsworthy' genuinely believe disabled people's lives are (and should be) a nonstop joyless struggle and can't understand why we aren't just quietly resigned to it by now.
