Late night poem: En route back from a London gig. A woman needs the loo on the train. There’s no loo. She tried to piss on the platform. She’s drunk. Staff tell her she’ll be fined £500 if she does. She waits and pisses on the train seat. Just sits and pisses. Smiling. Laughing.
So excited to be in London for this today! £5 with a wee glass of wine and two of my favourite writers and comedian @waterstones Islington ❤️

Tweet from Hollie McNish. She says, "From now on I am referring to single mothers as double mothers because they do double the work and their relationship status is irrelevant x"
Hollie McNish (@holliemcnish.bsky.social) talks more about this in her book Lobster. Absolutely spot on!
last year i got asked to do a gig
for a private members group
in a castle and i asked
what the fee and expenses were
and they said the lady of the house
would be more than happy
to give me a private guided tour
of the castle.
I wish that were the case, but there'd be no rape or murder if it was sadly. x
Just searched 'are sore breasts normal before period'? It said yes due to peak progesterone levels but will subside when those levels normalise' and I was wondering who decided which week was the 'normal' personality week of the cycle? It's like saying Spring is normal and the other seasons aren't?

THANK YOU! A perfect quote for the next book 😂❤️
It takes me two cups of tea to write about 50 poems. I’m much more water-efficient than AI poetry x

Dear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social . I am leaving the party because of your stance on Gaza. If you can renew the membership without the membership number, why can’t I leave without it? Please make this an option. And please stop selling arms to Israel

This morning my daughter went on her phone, laughed a lot at a message from her friend and sent me a cute meme about a kitten. Just sharing this for some balance.
For anyone going into the GCSE Unseen poetry exam, here’s some advice from a poet. Good luck! ❤️ youtu.be/Mt2Y6nSysZQ?...
The reason why I cry listening to these old songs isn't because I want to return to the past.
It's through music that I get to bear witness to all my past selves. I can see the girl and woman I used to be. She doesn't know I'm there.
I know my future self is here, right now, watching these tears.
A poem about libraries by Hollie McNish
I’ve many attempts to find the words to express my <3 for #libraries. A declaration of love but also a plea for their very existence and I’ll continue trying but for now, @holliemcnish.bsky.social caught all my feels:
Just updated my shop on @bookshop.org with my most loved novels. If you fancy some recommendations, check it out: uk.bookshop.org/lists/my-mos...? All purchases support indie bookshops and authors
