A drawing from this evening.

Art. Black and white ink pen drawing made of abstract shapes and lines that might look like a long-armed, skinny bird man, back arched, falling through the air with murderous intent. One arm is raised above his head, and the other points downwards, as if picking it a target in the up-rushing ground

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

I'm as ready to dunk on a singer who mushes her 's's into 'sh's as the next Henry Higgins wannabe, but these Stella Lefty plagiarism allegations really just boil down to gen alpha discovering there are common melodic and rhythmic patterns in music

Because technology evolves faster than human nature, we live in a world whose surfaces are spontaneously, meaninglessly postmodern, surrealist, dadaist, while our interior lives are still attuned to the ways of the long 19th century.

Nearly finished THE WAITING YEARS by Fumiko Enchi. MASKS was dark, subtly perverse, this is upsetting, detailing the systematic predation of a patriarch on 2 generations of women. Mostly told from the perspective of his wife. A family saga of patriarchy. Filled with beauty, elegance, everyday horror

It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

Substack post by Ranke de Vries which not only shows that AI won't be taking over Medieval Irish Studies any time soon (thankfully), but also makes an eloquent case in favour of sitting with the difficulty of manuscript transcription. #MedievalSky rankedevries.substack.com/p/ai-and-med...

Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson and Rory Gilmore are the ancestresses of the women in Sally Rooney's books. Which is to say, where they aren't veiled memoir, they're shallow fanfiction.

I wouldn't call myself a louche sensualist, but I do believe the first cup of coffee in the morning must be drunk before one has brushed one's teeth.

It is possible to be a great writer, or at least a good one, without a sense of humour. Without a sense of irony you will never be either. — some bloke

you shouldn't take an iced coffee to a job interview because you shouldn't be trying to get a job. you should be digging an enormous pit or a complex system of tunnels

Thesis: all mainstream millenial writers are either Rory from Gilmore Girls (ultimate faildaughter) or Logan from Gilmore Girls (standard failson) cosplaying as Jesse from Gilmore Girls (vague aura of street cred).

Do people realize that galas are probably the worst way to support non-profit work? For every dollar raised, it costs about 80-90 cents to basically put on a party for rich people. They’re inefficient, exclusive, and contrary to the mission of public service.

If you're going to fail at mundane things like having a career, getting fit, integrating your personality, why not spice things up and also fail at something magnificent like trying to make great art?

A response to an insane thing seen elsewhere: Orlando by Virginia Woolf, Lud-In-The-Mist by Hope Mirrlees, Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner, Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock, The Owl Service by Alan Garner. This is my "conversion package" for sensitive and intelligent youth. Now do yours.

"But in recent years, as the term [spiritual jazz] has been applied more loosely and reflexively, it often seems to connote a kind of elevated mood music, one that sets a vibe without asking too much of listeners." ‘Spiritual Jazz’ Has Turned Cozy. John Coltrane Demanded More (gift link):

‘Spiritual Jazz’ Has Turned Cozy. John Coltrane Demanded More. (Gift Article)

The term has lately become synonymous with sonic serenity (and chic merch). But the saxophone great challenged listeners with radical honesty.

Because I was born and brought up in the south, I sometimes feel diffident about my Hindi accent. Then I hear some 2nd or 3rd generation diaspora actor mangle the language in a Canadian or American production

I’m so tired of people saying that AI can be useful. So was asbestos. And lead. I don’t expect to halt the use of AI but I do wish we could just say “there are harms and we don’t know enough to call it safe or exciting”. And we definitely shouldn’t let it be used in schools.
