Back in 2019 (yes, I am aware I’ve told this story before), I started a journey. It began as a piece of… well, not fan fiction, for it was an original piece of work, but it was a story for my website. I developed it during quiet periods at work, and at home. I was […]
I want to introduce you to my publishers, namely the good people of Jumpmaster Press! Jumpmaster Press have a huge selection of sci-fi and fantasy stories from a wide range of authors, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Armin Shimerman. Jumpmaster Press have given me an opportunity and they have helped me to hone […]
That’s the idea behind the forums, which can be found here. Well, ok, maybe not unlimited – I mean, we’re bound to disagree, and I welcome robust discussions! If you are interested, sign up – but by all means browse first to see if there are topics of interest, and feel free to create topics […]
I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put all the ways and means of contacting/interacting with me in one, easy to find place – in case the social media links weren’t obvious enough. An important project is The Coalition of the Brave. New contributors are always welcome. You can catch me on Facebook. You’ll definitely catch […]
What might Cicada 3301 be? Well, it’s a puzzle, and from what I am led to understand, it’s a very clever, complicated, three-part challenge, devised by parties unknown, for purposes unknown, back in 2012. There are plenty of theories, including the idea that it was some kind of recruitment system, especially since the person/people behind […]
Well, here is a deep question for all you ‘kats! What would you consider your toughest, self-set personal target? For me, it would be the process of writing and publishing a book. I had long considered the possibility of writing something, and I even went as far as to write stories for fiction sites. You […]
Over the last couple of years, there has been a trend of workers across various industries and companies saying ‘we work till the whistle’. In other words, people have been less willing to go above and beyond for their employers. It is employers who prefer the expression ‘quiet quitting’, as it suggests employees are to […]
I asked my daughter for a prompt idea, and her idea? My favourite fish. She clarified that she meant ‘as in favourite species, not food!’ This is not an easy prompt for me! I was initially tempted to say dolphin, but, as any astute observer knows, dolphins are not fish! The same is true of […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! We are now in October, but what transpired as September came to a close? The Spam Scourge Of late, I have been subjected to a mini explosion of spam. I have had calls from random mobile numbers, and calls from various parts of the UK. You may wonder why […]
If there’s one thing that Brits are historically quite lazy at, it’s learning a foreign language. At senior school, languages such as French and German do get taught, and depending on the school there will be options for other languages, but most of us tend not to pursue any other language beyond senior school level. […]
In a prior post, I lamented the myths surrounding immigrants, and how the right exploits these myths to mislead and deceive their herds. In this post, I explore why the right does this. 1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred […]
In light of recent – and upcoming – elections around the world, and particularly relating to the UK and US elections, both of which were framed around this issue to a major degree, I thought it may be worth poking holes in common right-wing immigration narratives. One of the most common deceptions is that immigrants […]
Greetings ‘kats, and welcome to a particularly fruity question! In this case, the fruit is the humble grape, and the query is whether you prefer your liquidised alcoholic grapes white, or red? My personal preference is for the bold intensity of a good red, though I don’t tend to drink much wine (I’m more of […]
Several weeks ago, I wrote a post discussing whether or not we should be anonymous on the internet. To directly quote from my own post, I said the following at the start of the post: On the basis of personal experience, I dare say the answer entirely depends upon circumstances. There are various reasons why […]
The powerful Chon’ith Empire has expanded rapidly and aggressively, conquering all in their path. Stubborn and dogmatic, the Chon’ith do not accept retreat, and for years their passionate approach to warfare has won them many battles - until now #scifi
Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership
If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s
up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree
Sometimes you can tell someone something, and they will acknowledge you, and then completely contradict you a few days later. I am of course referring to the wonderful world of retail.
