@Jacob_Rees_Mogg https://t.co/shz9dvuU3T I'd never vote for those priorities, but if I was you'd be the wrong people to vote for with net migration a record high.

I like writing novels because it seems impossible, as though it violates the laws of physics somehow.

@jonpinnock Haha! I've had far less success than you and mistakenly told the border police in Morocco I was a writer. Never again. I ended up having to show my Amazon listing to prove I wasn't some political journalist! From here on, I'm a lowly support worker... but I'm a writer damn it!

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn.

So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."

The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’

He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience.

The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."

Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.
