@alexwritings @rodgeglass Thanks, Alex! So glad you're getting into it (despite the exhaustion).

[Dr Alex Howard @alexwritings]

Incredibly tired. But not so tired, it turns out, to not take in a couple of pages of this brilliantly visceral book by @rodgeglass

Only just started and know I’m going to ❤️ this. Thanks @PressTaproot

[Rodge Glass @rodgeglass]

Thanks for having me @SpaceSubjective - in conversation here with @sindhurajasekar about Joshua in the Sky @PressTaproot as part of the @SpaceSubjective podcast series. Life, death, joy, pain. Keeping it light as always ☺️🌈🖤
