Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

Can’t believe it’s three years since this one came out! The book I’m proudest of that’s published, although watch this space for The Magic of Birds.

This is poetry but it is, truly, what happens when you use any forms of AI in any way. Every query, every use of it is creating pollution numbers the companies forcing it on us are actively hiding. Do. Not. Use. It. Deny the models the oxygen they crave. Also, download Nighshade & use it liberally!
“Mhm. And how will you uplift marginalized communities?” I ask an engagement bot, killing off the last members of an endangered species of mynah bird in the Amazon. The bot’s answer lacks intersectionality—I tell it so. A root system that had been alive since the Cretaceous period shrivels and dies

I’ve been eyeballing this deck for a while now. Who else needs another deck? #witchsky
Did you know that I created a Minoan-themed Tarot deck?
* 86-card deck
* gender-balanced face cards
* pure Minoan art; no modern or Christian symbology
* full color, full size companion book
* full size storage box for both deck and book.

Love finding new music - this band has a sound me and my eldest are really digging. Any plans to gig in the UK? 👀 #NewMusic
A massive thank you to everyone on Bluesky who followed & listened to our new song 'A Bittersweet Goodbye' today. It's really refreshing to hear so many kind words on our 1st day here. If you haven't already listened, I'll link it again below. Cheers! 💜 #shoegaze

Content warning: weird medieval deaths. Did a death roulette and it sounds more likely than you might think. ☠️ I died from “Surfeit” (overeating to the point of vomiting) in the week of February 14th, 1665

17th Century Death Roulette ☠️
See what you might’ve died from in 1665 London, using real mortality records.

I wish I could take pics like my spouse! This is just up the road from us and feels like a crossover from autumn to winter.

We must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.
