I'm about halfway through Control Alter Delete by KL Kettle. It's a speculative YA thriller that tackles themes of technology & power.
What would you choose a beautiful untrue life or a broken true one?

So if engaging JKRs ire is what makes me come out, then here it is.
I’m Asexual.
It’s taken me over 30 years to recognise myself. The challenges are real. I’m quiet about it because that’s my choice.
But if i have to shout it out to stand shoulder to shoulder with my tribe - I will.

It’s been a long day. many world book day workshops; an amazing (AmAZiNG @wordtheatre.bsky.social ) show at the @oldvictheatre.bsky.social … I have one question…. do I stay up and watch the next episode of Severence without my OH and risk marital collapse… or do I sleep. Both have strong appeal.
