This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

"The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day's work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drink and children from mischief. 

When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: 'What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.' People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion."

Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays (1935)

Thinking today about the painting Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel
Painting - Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel, depicting a naked male form with dark wings lying against a rock, framed against a pale sky full of pale angels. Lucifer is covering his face with his arm and we can only see his bitter eye and gorgeous auburn hair

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Wrote this for a workshop recently: "Writers create characters – a character contains pieces of our shared humanity, which allows the reader to feel an identifying connection and enter the story." ⭐OUR SHARED HUMANITY⭐ That's why 'AI writing' is and always will be bullshit.
