Yesss a Middlemen mention

Screenshot of essay which reads: Take, for instance, the debut novel. In Middlemen, a recently published study of the literary agent, Laura B. McGrath coins the term debut phenomenon: “a carefully orchestrated publicity event, designed to turn an unknown, first-time author into a professional writer.” The engine of this transformation is the debut narrative, in which various details—biographical facts about the author, the heat of the bidding war, the heft of the marketing push—coalesce “into a unified whole, launching book and author as two mutually reinforcing products.” A splashy first novel, in other words, is not a freak weather event. It is a calculated bid that success can be manufactured if decision makers tell the right story.

Anyone up for a game of “what tool is this we found in Dad’s shed?”

I went from claying in a pricey, branded premises with corporate types sipping wine, to a council run, cheap as chips, premises in the suburban back blocks, to a falling apart disused factory in an industrial wasteland full of introverted masters. I’ve never earned less money, and felt more at home.

Thanks, Nat. His shirts are perfect and, given he was a maker, it feels good to wear them when I’m making.

Exactly. Despite “he continued to pursue her, refusing to take no for an answer” being more often than not a red flag, that narrative lives on as romantic. A lot of what’s portrayed as “romantic love” in literature and film is concerning behaviour.

Pictures from Octobers past #Photography

a large farmhouse ruin from the back side, with a bare tree to the left. The sky is very blue with some white clouds

a brick wall below a wooden fence. On the wall are 4 child's handprints in a pinkish colour (likely white but showing brick colour through), and a blob of white paint to the right

fairground buildings in the rain, with bright pink shutters

a person skimming a stone on the beach in the mist. They're in silhouette shot from a distance and some height, frozen in the motion of being about to throw. The whole picture is almost colourless with a yellowy tinge.

That person you’re enamoured by within days/weeks/months of meeting them? They’re a stranger. It takes a long time to get to know someone. What you don’t know about them far outweighs what you do. Filling in those gaps with ideals is both tempting, and potentially very unwise.

Happy birthday to my Dad. Gone six years but still very much alive in my every day. I wear his work shirts in the studio now, and we’re slowly beginning to clear out the shed. I also have enough nails, screws, and bolts to last me a lifetime. Miss you Dad. x

When a customer asks to speak to a human and you respond with another chatbot you may as well just openly call your customers idiots.

The creation of a machine in the image of a human is a strange kind of extrospective introspection. To fear what we create (or are capable of creating) is to fear ourselves (and what we’re capable of).
