RAIN is open @natlibscot.bsky.social ! Here's an insight into the moving image material on display: ⛈️ Raindrop (1975) a lyrical documentary from Eddie McConnell, pitched as "the journey of a raindrop from dripping leaf to rushing stream", with distinctive soundtrack by Iain McHaffie

Still from Raindrop (1975) - drops of water slide from the ends of blades of grass.

Irony is dead

An event flyer for London Climate Action Week, titled "Extreme heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world," features a background photograph of a dry, arid landscape with a road and mountains under a hazy blue sky. At the top, logos for the "Climate Resilience Alliance" and "London Climate Action Week" are visible next to a red "EVENT" tag, while the bottom of the flyer lists the event details—scheduled for 24 June from 09:30-12:00 BST at the Shaw Library, London School of Economics and online—alongside partner logos including LSE Grantham Research Institute, IFRC, Mercy Corps, and Practical Action. Stamped boldly across the center of the image in large, dark red, capitalized letters is the ironic overlay text: "CANCELLED DUE TO EXTREME HEAT."

My teen told me today her new English teacher is encouraging his class to use AI to help them structure essays. She does not want to, understands value of the human mind. Now she's worried she will get poor marks. Whatever guardrails are in place, they are not addressing promotion of AI by teachers.

It is lovely to see some of my concrete poetry in print, thanks to AGORA magazine. Featured: Tipping Points (Rainforest and Antarctic) and The Sea Revealed by Emily Munro

Double page spread of 2 concrete poems with explanatory text. On lhs the poem is in green print (Tipping points: rainforest) and consists of a circle split by a wavy line with lines intersecting. RHS poem (Antarctic) is 3 vertical circles in blue with the bottom two circles featuring a circle within a circle.

Double page spread. On lhs a sound poem The Sea Revealed. On rhs explanatory text. Too small to read on screen.

Front cover of AGORA magazine. White background with intersecting connectors /lines of various colours a bit like a subway map.

Biggest problem is, this isn't people voting for change or what they think is best for them and their families, it's sheer protest voting. They will support any mouthpiece that confirms whatever racist ideology they're being fed. That's not going to be any different at a General Election.

In the burrowing slowness of indifference

heard wind whisper if you only could

She wrote an ‘S’ in the air and flicked
dirt from every violent coil.
