Slowly emerging from mat leave, (is there an emoji for bedraggled hair and a dressing gown?🧟‍♀️) but off to a fun start judging the latest @mindfood_mag #shortstory comp. Congrats to Lianne Darby for her winning piece 'Elizabeth's Funeral' https://t.co/onp7tVJL6f

I adored this memoir by Helen Lehndorf and wrote about it for the latest @nzherald Canvas magazine https://t.co/bMv78BhlXK

@ClaireMabey Me too @ClaireMabey - it was so good!

I interviewed #RichardDawkins, ahead of his trip to New Zealand in Feb for #nzlistener. We talked evolutionary theory (and whether it needs to be 'updated'), the scientific method, and his love of art, poetry and music – despite their ‘unknowable’ nature

I interviewed decision-making expert and World Champion poker player Annie Duke about her book Quit for the Listener. We discover: why quitting is a powerful strategic tool, why 'quiet quitting' doesn't really exist & the tools she uses to advise start-ups that it's time to fold

My interview with the inimitable Richard E. Grant from Saturday, about his new memoir and forthcoming event live in NZ https://t.co/1L71VCjh0T

I loved writing this. Women have been hiking alone forever (as well as writing seminal classics Simone de Beauvoir was doing 30km solos in 1931) but social media is connecting women who hike to each other, and normalising solo expeditions, and I am here for it.

@ReardonAmy @DGumbiner @believermag This was so beautifully written and powerful - you made such a personal story thrum with the universal, so much of it resonated with me. Thank you for writing it and sharing it.

@EburyPublishing I will never forget being backstage at a book signing with him and the time and care he took with a journalist's young son, teaching him how to spin the ball. Not only a legend but a genuinely lovely, kind guy too ♥️

A thing I wrote (and did an illustration for) came out today 🎨

"I realised what I mourned most about him was his hopeful, courageous way of looking at life – he saw its beauty, even in the middle of war."

@lokiscottishrap @penguinrandom @EburyPublishing Cant wait for this @lokiscottishrap. I have given copies of Poverty Safari to so many people to read, I'm sure it will be the same with this.
