I reason with my cigarette

I got a reply from Neil Gaiman on Twitter today and one of my other tweets got a personal record of amount of likes / RTs.

Today was a good day

The reason I care about Twitter is because it's the best chance I have of gaining exposure for my writing. I'm not just some random Twatter I swear

It has become the new public square when it comes to discourse. Which is why it is so disturbing corporations control it.

True, but who else would control it? The goberment? No ty

I mean when I speak for my own country, they want the guv'ment to control everything else lol. Control guns, health care, etc. Why trust them in some things and not others...is what I'd ask.

I love libertarianism but

Oh and btw the Lovecraft story I read the other night was call of cthulhu. Then last night I read the thing on the doorstep.

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

Honestly it reminds me of "Russia can't interfere with our elections and lie to Americans, but the media can".

It's almost like a man saying he can beat his wife, but a stranger can't.

Compiling a best albums of the 2010s would be very difficult

Also I got this Ramsey Campbell collection on my phone. It adds to the lovecraft stuff, over 6,000 pages in this book. Many short stories from Cold Print, etc.

So I got a letter today from the scummy council ****ing government assholes telling me I owe them £250.85 for overpayment of housing benefit in 2016 when I was signed off work with depression and anxiety and was suicidal.
After I spent 4 months using the last of my own money paying rent and only reluctantly asked for the minimum help because I was forced to..

I argued it back then and never heard back so assumed they cancelled it.

But no they just waited 3 ****ing years to then throw it back at me causing me more anxiety and depression

So I ranted about it on fb and I just randomly checked my bank account and my brother has put the money in there for it cryoh

I read Innsmouth and the Nyarlathotep. Some of these things I have read before, like Cthulhu and Dunwich horror, which I have on my phone but have not read yet.

Seriously though that sounds like an English council to me. I've heard of many issues similar with a number of people. Which party is in charge of your gaff?

Nice, I have Ramsey Campbell on my to-read list but haven't started yet. I'm actually currently working through the last of my three Lovecraft collections and moving on after that to either Arthur Machen or more Clark Ashton Smith

There are some fascinating stories. Some great stuff added, I think Lovecraft would have approved.
