Possibly not a great time of the evening to start eating 90% cocoa dark chocolate but I have successfully wrangled with Powerpoint and can't resist
If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this
More coffee - currently writing a presentation which got put on hold due to EHCP / Phase transfer shenanigans this week #iykyk
Amen
🤣 did not know I needed Venetian Ham Horns jayzus 😂
Anyway, despite the frustration and worry it's all worth it - he's a fabulous kid and deserves so much more than he's getting. Glad I can at least attempt to get things in place for him. And I have managed a substack post and to run 2 workshops recently - and more to come...but tired. 3/3
It's the reason why my published 'output' sort of ground to a halt - what with caring for my dad until he died and constant battling for my son's healthcare and suitable education. I have no idea how other parents of disabled kids publish books etc...maybe they have supportive families. I don't. 2/?
Happy Saturday! It has been a very tough week in the land of SEN - I'm now going to appeal over what the local 'LEA' have offered my son in terms of suitable education next year. It's the right thing to do but it involves mountains of paperwork and bureaucratic gobbledygook...full time job 1/?
The worst danger of AI isn't that it exploits creators, nor that it guzzles energy, wastes water and hands power to an undeserving elite, but that it severs our links to each other. It discourages conversation, spontaneity, empathy, critical thinking: everything that makes us better than machines.
Still
Place legends in postcards. Cute dog! But what is the stone? I know, of course. But can you guess?
Friday is feeling like this...

An incredible film - see it if you haven't already
Here's an update on my labyrinth journey - I'm a trained labyrinth facilitator lucyfurlong.substack.com/p/circling-b...
Morning all, my poor son has been sick all night. I was meant to be up with the lark this morning but well...coffee
My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.
I wonder what the popularity of Trump as well as the active resistance against him would be if Americans would get their information from non-U.S. media rather than from the sane-washing legacy U.S. media.
Best laid plans and all that...ended up being trip to the GP and now a Sendiass webinar about EHCP appeals.. so it goes
The publishing industry's lack of confidence in authors and its own ability to create careers for them is pathetic and, in the end, self-defeating.
Morning all, I've run out of Stroopwafels...💀

Having one of those days (every day but especially today) where I feel very uneasy like I've forgotten to do something critically important. Yikes...
Funny what pops up, I wrote this nearly 10 years ago “The Art and Meaning of Land Use” for The Planner (click on the link below to read it - not v long). This was not long after my second poetry map, Over the Fields, was published.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.
