Datacentres \ water wars. Conglomerates steal water at cheap prices and pump it through 'data centres' into select aquefers (artesian wells) to store for later use when 'water wars' hots up. Free Wales, Scotland, N.Ireland. Nationalise our water. Let us be small, wealthy, water-rich nations.

I’m opposing a rural bus stop outside a Welsh market town being redesignated ‘Starbucks Dolgellau’. The town’s name is ‘meadow of (Druidic) groves’. Words make our ages. This one is balanced on the tip of the capitalistic advertising frappéberg. Anglicisation is bad enough, this has to be dropped.

I’ve got to the point in ‘being a writer’ where I have to make writing (however many words) the central activity of each day.🙄 🤣 No more new ideas, tangents, distractions. Can I follow the advice of one of my writing heroes, José Saramago: “There are just two rules to writing. 1. Sit. 2. Write.”

AI is a parasite, not a tool. It feeds on the creativity of humans, using algorithms to manufacture a product in the shape of something artistic. An imitation. But art is about human connection, imagination, an interior vision of the mind and soul made manifest. Art is not a product, it is creation.

Peace to all. I mean c’mon! We live in paradise. Let’s share it in every smile. And stop trying to hold borders that were never ours. Get our basic common shared-point necessities for daily life like housing, education, health, food, right. And then have a massive fist fight followed by conference.

Congratulations to Anne Carson on the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature! Not that we could have known about it in advance, but @uofmpress.bsky.social had been planning to celebrate Carson's work with a second title in the Under Discussion Series. More details here: press.umich.edu/Books/A/Anne...
Book cover for "Anne Carson and the Unknown: Contemporary Perspectives on Poetic Experimentation," edited by Helena Van Praet and Christine Wiesenthal, published in the Under Discussion Series by the University of Michigan Press. The top and bottom sections are a muted teal-blue. The top displays the title in black sans-serif font and white serif subtitle font. The bottom lists "Edited by Helena Van Praet and Christine Wiesenthal" in white text. The central illustration features a linocut-style portrait in muted purple and light teal against a white and teal background, depicting a person looking slightly to the side.
