I’d like to read you a few comments of yours that I’ve found online, Derek. I hope that’s okay. They come from all over: Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo News, the Daily Mail… and the Instagram account of Jemima Thompson, aged seventeen. Interesting. Wow, you had a lot to say to Jemima, didn’t you. Let’s take a … Continue reading Inktober 03/10/19: Bait
Inktober 2/10/19: Mindless
(NB: this is a piece of fiction from two perspectives. I'm not interested in getting into a discussion/argument about the relative awfulness of this parent. Good? Good.) I didn’t even get her vaccinated, so it can’t have been that, but there are so many toxins in the world today - who even has a chance? … Continue reading Inktober 2/10/19: Mindless
Inktober 1/10/19: Ring
Ah you’re here Simon. Good good. How are you doing today? A bit nervous? Well, unfortunately these meetings are always a bit hard, aren’t they.

Extremely female autism
Right! Now that I have some of these OPINIONS out of myself I can go straight back to squeeing over ink and howling at the moon. I'll just- Oh. Oh, Guardian. You're back. [Cantatrice looks at bottle of ink. Looks at article. Looks at floor. Looks back at ink. Puts ink down and wanders off … Continue reading Extremely female autism
You must be this autistic to ride
I was a little reluctant to blog about this Guardian article because on some levels it makes me sad and I don’t want to bring any additional attention to it. I’ve also been blogging about autism a fair amount recently, when there are OH so many topics out there that I can be wildly over-opinionated about. But … Continue reading You must be this autistic to ride
An awkward British-German collaboration
If you’re here for the music, read on. If you’re here for the ink, I promise it shows up eventually. Keep scrolling down and you’ll find a header. Straight up: this isn't about Brexit, which, although awkward, can hardly be considered a collaboration between, well... anybody and anybody else. Squillions of words have been written … Continue reading An awkward British-German collaboration
