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. 😅

Hi, I wrote a blog about drawings falling off pages + facing the Reform fear and I guess, radical hope. Here it is: www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202... Ps the blog has a drawing attached that shows an ink and watercolour sketch of a woman in a beanie hat, sitting on a sofa reading.

I saw my first bee in the garden this morning. So few bees arriving for the buffet we have put on for them, so far, this year. It was a thrill. I said thank you. And also, keep going friend. I extend that wish to you too. Thank you. You are needed. Keep going. It's tough but we can do it. 🐝

In terms of drawing, so far I have done: many terrible botch sketches. Some experiments. Some live drawing. I have even done one or two pictures that I actually like.

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.

Emma Adams @emmabob3.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Dear friends, just a quick ping in to say - my first week or so of the 2026 sketch a day challenge is go. Today's sketch was of a handsome horse. www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202... but there is a sketch for every day of 2026 so far on my blog. If you fancy such things. That's the news x

For the gallant few, who follow a thread to its very end, here is a picture of the horses, sheep and pylons. Happy New Year

An ink and watercolour sketch - 3 horses stand near the corner of a wall. A water tub stands in the field too. Beyond are two sheep. Further out there is a hillside with trees, telegraph poles and a pylon. Further out still is a hill with houses on.

I put this flurry of drawing down to 1st day over enthusiasm. Rest assured there will be plenty of days in the coming weeks and months when a scribble on a post-it will be as good as it gets. But let's celebrate while we may.

For the thread inclined : just a note to say that the blog is a bumper edition today. Along with mushrooms, there is also a sketch of horses sheep and pylons.

Yesterday I completed my sketch a day challenge for 2025😀🙏🏻🔥 Today I started all over again. To celebrate I drew some mushrooms growing on a tree. As ever there is a blog post that goes along with this drawing. If you fancy it click this link: www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202...

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.

When I remember to pootle here, it's these kinds of threads, I didn't know I needed, that I hope to bump into. One of the fault lines that sit between FascistHellscape4eva or a world we want to live in, is defending thinking for its own sake/pleasure/surprise. Also. It didn't feel basic 2 me x

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 🇵🇸

Agree. Grim. What on earth goes through these people's minds! 'Hey! Its it's ok, we'll off set this with a bit of conifer planting somewhere soon!' Absolute fools. To be this ignorant after all of this time despite all of the science saying 'we need rainforest' is not acceptable. Labour fail again

Me too. I have strong artwork responses. But it never crossed my mind that artwork could actually stop me liking an lp. But maybe it can. Or maybe not liking the music can spoil artwork by association. This is going to become a light obsession that pootles along with me, never to be answered : )

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.
