THINGS I AM BANNING THIS CHRISTMAS Here are some things I have banned this Christmas, just for you, my exhausted darlings

So here’s a post I wrote a couple of years back; it was popular and I stand by it. *WARNING* that it contains some friendly but colourful
swearing because that’s how I roll. annavaughtwrites.com/2023/12/12/t... It’s all about ridiculous expectations and kicking them out the door. Big love ❀️ #JoinIn

All I wanted for Christmas was an episode of domestic abuse, female terror porn, and femicide! Thanks, BBC and Mark Gatiss! Perfect end to 2024! #womanofstone #endvaw

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.

Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.

Can't decide if I love Hoolihan or Angelica more. Possibly Hoolihan and her Rupert the Bear trousers #badsisters

Is there anyway to just skip menopause and go straight to wearing a straw boater hat while solving murder mysteries around quaint English villages?

The concept of AI has long been accompanied by the idea that humanity is not enough, and needs to be perfected. Perhaps it's time for us all to reject the concept of perfection, to celebrate our shared and flawed humanity, and instead of building facsimiles, just try to be the best humans we can be.

"This is the book I wanted to read. To find solace and community and rage and compassion. I wanted to see representation of vulnerability and the complexity of grief and loss and alternative ways of connecting with the world around me when I had lost touch with the human world.."
