Big bonus with Kagi is that its image search also lets you exclude AI images! And Erin is 10000% correct about the quality of search results. It took me time to adjust to actually finding what I was looking for each time, and not automatically scrolling halfway down the page. 😅

My sketch a day 2026 challenge (is it a challenge anymore? Is it more a practice that I'm trying to build into a non-negotiable habit?) is well on its way. So far this month has involved a trip to the Lakes and Glasgow (a writing squad adventure, that was fun) and a lot of musical writing.

Christmas continues into the weird few days before new year. Some years I have to work these. Some years I don't. Whatever, they are some of my fave days of the year. They have a bumbling/low stakes/ expansive quality that brings new ideas and excitements.

Hi #writers #playwrights all of the bluesky fam - just a quick reminder that I am a playwright. I also sketch stuff. I post a sketch with words everyday. Links in my bio. Meanwhile, here is a sketch I did of a village at dusk in #bradford called #micklethwaite. Good afternoon. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

It turns out that #WolfAlice are great. I thought I didn't like them. I must have been confusing them with a band I don't know the name of, who I actually don't like. That awful, unknown band is, of course, still out there. I discovered my mistake by accident while dusting.

Now listening: Hounds of Love. Which shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s a favourite album. But so precious is it that I’d sealed it away; perhaps only one full listen in the last 15 years. So I downloaded it. And for the first time ever I am listening to The Big Sky whilst walking under a big sky.

A big autumn sky. One big white cloud up high, with low clouds waiting to spring into action as the sun goes down. And the sun, stage right, already fed up of the day. It’s leaving and it’s taking its ball of fire with it. A ploughed field sits at the bottom. hard cold earth.

This piece is a superb essay about the ways in which racism is being normalised by the far right in the UK. Thoughtful words. And what it has to say about Theresa May and David Cameron jolted me and made me realise just how normalised racist rhetoric has become. For your consideration 👇🏻

It was a full moon/lunar eclipse last night. We went out to see it in its big golden orange majesty. Magical. I love how looking up at the moon always brings me back down to earth. Humans have always been looking up at it with that sense of wonder & awe. Thanks moon. I did a drawing to celebrate it.
