Two ponies I photographed drinking out of a stream on the western edge of Dartmoor.

Sometimes a walk on Dartmoor is a bit like passing through a curtain in reality that leads directly into a fairy tale.

You can, but it is a uk shoot and it’s unlikely we will be able to fly anyone out

I hope you’ll join me on Monday at 8pm GMT in a meditation to honour David Lynch’s legacy.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.

He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.

Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

Covid STILL sucks. And part of the reason for that is because the reactionary response WON. Constant reinfections are creating chronic health problems, and govts are saying "There are too many sick people -- there's no reason for such an upsurge, They have to be faking. It's Over Because We Say So!"

Earlier this year, I undertook a pilgrimage: a private tour of Prospect Cottage. When our work is seen as β€˜other’, we record our lives and acknowledge that our creations have value. Even in an age that devalues anything extraordinary.

Fabulous day at @bafta with Lua, Jared and Ethan-James for the #youngbaftashowcase exploring creativity for young people. Lua and Jared were dressed by the Horrible Histories costume department.
One of those special days, and I’m feeling blessed and grateful for my family and the path we’re on.

The Onion acquiring Infowars happened because BlueSky made a joke to @bencollins.bsky.social, and @bencollins.bsky.social working to acquire The Onion happened because he made a joke on BlueSky.

Basically, joke about your dreams on BlueSky, it's a wish factory.

"Poverty can produce the most deadly kind of violence in this society; violence against poor people and minority groups is routine. I remind you that starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her child is violence…

"…Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical needs is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and Sinister form of violence."
