An illustration of an owl with head slightly tilted and crescent moon above. Poem text reads "ใ‹ใŸใ‚€ใ„ใŸๆœˆใฎใตใใ‚ใ†ใจใ—ใฆ" I am unsure of an appropriate translation.

light rain on new orchard grass
__________

my window
open just a crack
as i roll up and down
on crackling gravel
sipping a taste of coal smoke
spiraling into a thin sky
as evening air turns blue brittle
seeping into the fractured remains
of the old Millfield tipple

B&W photo captured on the lunch break this week. 

An old leafless tree growing out of a rock outcropped overhang. Standing tall next to a brand new pine - two beautiful silhouettes against the foggy forest backdrop.

A black pen in crosshatch technique and black ink applied with a small roller on white paper illustration of a scene of Venice. A black Cat sits in a Gondola, Crows sit atop long poles that rise from the water. Water laps at the Gondola and a little wooden jetty, across the water hazy buildings, their lights just visible through a fog. Crows circle above. A dark figure of a man stands on the jetty by the Gondola on the left of the illustration. Mysterious.

Decided to part with this one. An illustration I made when my mum was ill & one of the last she saw me make. A piece probably about grief, illness, sadness & departure so of course I called it โ€˜Donโ€™t Look Meowโ€™ ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is a very good encapsulation of how a lot of us feel about the impact of AI on a day to day basis which is that using it to find information can be more helpful than Google but a lot of that is because Google has gotten much worse

Donโ€™t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

A great egret walking through grass, facing right. It's white with a very long neck, long beak, and long black legs. One of its dinosaur feet is in the air as it takes a step.
