Earlyworks Press and Circaidy Gregory Press have left the Creative Media Centre
But they have not disappeared! This is a catch-all message for anyone I didn’t manage to notify individually (sorry!). The press is still running, and the books are still available but we will no longer be using the Creative Media Centre address. For now, if you need to get in touch with me, or have…

We girls were double-divided
There’s a puzzling range of controversies raging over ‘entertainment’ and ‘the arts’. Social justice warriors are busy finding items – books, films, statues, to condemn for racism, and whilst libraries obediently bury offending books, the women’s movement battles over misogynistic and mind-bending traditions such as nightclub drag queens crossing yet more boundaries to present as…

Clever, awkward and what was it again…?
Five years ago, I wrote a blog post called If I’m so clever… I didn’t say exactly what it was about, but if you’re interested in the different ways people think and work, do please take a look. I think you’ll be able to work it out… ( So sorry we didn’t manage to win…

Blown wide open
We should thank the Tories for filling the vacuum after Britannia’s attempt at democracy with an extended demonstration of just how dishonest and corrosive conservative politics really is. Here, James O’Brien amplifies an example from Liz Truss… … but the idea has been acted out time and time again. Hastings, do you remember our former…

I’m on strike – Cormoran Strike
Lethal White by Robert Galbraith If anyone asks, I don’t like detective novels – same way I don’t like spy novels. For one thing they’re menz stories set in a menz world, however many dynamic women you put in them (yes, yes, I saw all the innovative series about females acting like the eternal private…

Early morning picket line
Having a busy day on, I decided to visit today’s RMT picket in Hastings before I got started — of course, 7.30 in the morning isn’t particularly early to most of our key workers. On the way to the station, I noticed some newly decorated lamp posts… … don’t forget, the strikes and demos you…

The Goldilocks Zone
This is a road-map of the “sex-based rights v gender-identity” conversation that’s raging out there… What? Oh – apparently, a lot of people haven’t really had that conversation yet, beyond a few comments on stories in the press. Okay sisters, we have a job to do… Otherwise known as the “Circumstellar Habitable Zone”, there is…

The met office told me to do it
I feel a bit of a fool. Our house has never, to my knowledge, been flooded. It sits on a hill that runs in places at a 45 degree angle down to the town. Nevertheless I’ve spent the last hour taking precious things off bottom shelves and shoving them into higher shelves and now everything…

To a good man
You know that cry, “It’s not all men”? Actually, it is all men. I know it, and I know you can’t entirely solve it – not alone, anyway, and men aren’t brought up to be good at thinking together. It would help if more men could get their heads round exactly what it is they…

Should we be worrying about what the kids are doing on Tiktok?
Archie Battersbee was not the first to die as a result of a social-media-based challenge, so it’s not surprising that lots of people have been asking that question this week. I know without asking that my daughter would tell me no, it doesn’t matter what platform you get information by, it’s what information you’re getting.…
