I mean the man’s litany of corruption, in every sense of the word, is as broad spectrum as his base is not but as God is my ducking witness if anyone uses the words ‘fake news’ after January 20th I want their fucking dicks to drop off.

I’ve watched friends and family deal with invertebrates in red baseball caps with single figure YouTube accounts claiming to be ‘the true press’ and every single fucking one of you who used that phrase helped make that seem okay.

It was never okay. It was never fucking close to okay. Mocking that journalist on the ‘16 campaign trail. ACTUAL NAZI PHRASES FOR LYING PRESS. ‘Fake news’. All of it is unfuckingforgivable and all of it stops right the fuck now.

@HearCircles

Well I’ve just had a fantastic chat with some of the creative team behind @HearCircles and the chef soundtrack is playing so let’s make focaccia.

Add all these to a mixing bowl making sure that the yeast and sugar are as far apart as possible because if they got too close they’d discover the doomed romance between their children and wait that might actually be West Side Story.

Add everything else.

Seeing early rumblings of the traditional nonsense about NaNoWriMo. So, SUPER QUICK:

-If you want to do it, do it. I've done it twice and it was a massively positive experience both times.
-It's a BRILLIANT first step. Gets you a zero draft. You can do anything with that.

-Make sure you do anything with that zero draft. Momentum after the fact is the key. Get it however you can, rewards, targets you colour in, anything.
-If you do it, congratulations! You've made art! Now you get to make it better!

-Editing isn't fun but it's nowhere as bad as you think. I actually like playing detective and looking for the actual book inside the draft:)
-At least one professional author a year is going to feel the need to 'EVERY MONTH IS NANOWRIMO MONTH' at some point in the next 6 weeks.

The world is an absolute fucking catastrophe run by the absolute worst who despite what we were promised do not seem to lack conviction. Let’s make chicken Marsala meatballs.

See that first photo? The one without the stock? Drop all of that in a food processor and add 400g of chicken. Then blend it until it looks like faintly upsetting ice cream.
