I'm going to be an online guest, alongside @bohemiancoast.bsky.social and @lizbatty.bsky.social, at @octocon.bsky.social and they sent me a lovely graphic to plug it!

Graphic with text reading “OCTOCON: THE NATIONAL IRISH SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION. Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th October 2026. Clayton Hotel Cork City & Online. Online Guest: John Coxon – Octothorpe. octocon.com”. The background is a light purple and has a skyline in black with a robot and flying dragon in white and a UFO in green.

This really cheers me up. Isn't it amazing how resilient nature can be, and how much potential is there to stop interfering and let it take root again? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c...

Image from BBC News with a photograph of an orchid at Fountains Abbey. The headline reads “Zombie film shoot helps orchids bloom” and the text below reads “After Fountains Abbey was left unmown to look abandoned for the movie "28 Years Later," hundreds of rare flowers appeared for the first time since the 1850s. Experts say the wilder grass created the perfect habitat.”
