My post engagement has dropped to almost zero, new followers seem to be primarily "adult entertainment" bots and there are other reasons to be unhappy about this sm platform. So, I'm ducking out. I'll leave my x account live and check in occasionally but otherwise I'll be on bsky

RT @thereadingpara: Lovely to chat to @RussJonesWrites about Bucket List at book club tonight 💙 (and excited to hear there might be more!).…

RT @thereadingpara: Just a reminder that it’s book club on Monday & I’m hoping @RussJonesWrites will be joining us to discuss Bucket List.…

(I had to return to Twitter just for this)

@RBmediaAuthors this book is not by me, please stop tagging me in posts about it

@RBmediaAuthors wrong Russell Jones

Really pleased to have "Bucket List" as part of @thereadingpara's book club in December. It's also partly set at xmas, and the main character is a yulephile, so it's the ideal read for that time of year. Published by @PolygonBooks, link: #books #xmas

@smaychel awesome, congrats!

Anybody else gaining a lot of "adult" bot followers on here lately?

9 days left in #Japan (Nara, Osaka, Kanazawa, Tokyo). We've eaten loads of different foods, and have a few left on our list (see pic). What would be on your "must eat" list before flying home?  *See my posts is you want to know what we've already eaten

@RBmediaAuthors Wrong Russell Jones, it's confusing at I'm also an author
