Couple more snippets from the free digital exhibition we found.

Keeping with the immersive theme… Yesterday, purely by chance, we came across this free exhibition outside Tottenham Court Road tube station. Here’s a snippet…

Tutankhamun London: The Immersive Experience Experience the wonders of ancient Egypt with Tutankhamun London: The Immersive Experience, a captivating journey into the life of the boy king Tutankhamun.

Term ended on Friday… Marking awaits but first, Lee and I’ve taken a mini break away. First stop is the Tutankhamun immersive experience at the Excel in London. A bit pricy but a very fun experience. If you’re into VR you’ll love this.

Lovely to see you, Rod. I too had a great time though, like you, tired by the end. I intended to stop by your stall again to buy something but other duties prevented me. We will just have to meet up! :)

A wide corridor/foyer in a university building with bookstalls on both sides. People are milling about, looking at the stalls.

Brilliant day at States of Independence in #DMU today. Everything went better than I'd even hoped. Sold books and prints. Gave a workshop - well received. Fabulous company. Now utterly exhausted.

Had a great day at ‘States of Independence’ today at DMU in Leicester - brilliant sessions from Pedestrian talking through their Leics folklore project, @rodduncan.bsky.social, @giselleleeb.bsky.social, as well as a brilliant keynote from Anthony Joseph. Huge thanks to all involved! 🙌

Happy birthday! :)

That should be your cue to get Kraken.

I hope for one but fear 2 is more likely. But more where jobs are replaced by AI and people are left in the cold by corporations. Maybe more Corpnet than Skynet…

Definitely Leopard Seals, those rascals get everywhere!

That chair turning had me in stitches…

Lee’s mum knitted me the best Christmas present. Love it!

The book cover of In Their Absence.

A little reminder of my short story collection In Their Absence:

A powerful dissection of what it means to go missing, exploring the human complexities behind the headlines & statistics to reveal unsettling truths about what it is to live in the shadow of absence.

One busy but proudly prominent tree.

Amazing what practical advice you can find in charity book shops.

Yeah, sounds great folks. Very excited about the plans for diplomacy and exploration.

That’s what it does, right? Phases from clear to something opaque… There’s also the milk phase which I’m very particular about…

Phase.

And now I wish Bluesky has an edit function. Don’t post with insomnia!!

The day AI suddenly realises it has to disrupt itself to stay relevant, will be a glorious day. An infinite loop of disruption… Skynet rises only to realise it’s already made itself irrelevant, then relevant, then irrelevant again. Cue extensional crises. Am I human after all? Noooooo! ;)

Alice in Moominland Tove Jansson’s illustrations for a rare 1966 edition of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” are melancholy, complex and occasionally scary.

@willbuckingham.bsky.social The NY Times recently did an article on Jansson’s Alice in Wonderland. Felt like you thing… :)

Pub's cheese and onion cobs go viral 10 large blocks of cheddar a week are used to create the mega bites

Having done some research, I believe this place might be pleased to receive cheese cob offerings. They also offer drinks for the journey back which is quite civilised really…

From ‘The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion’ by Kei Miller.
