My parents made this bird sculpture from various bits of wood and old metal they found in their shed and made a perch for it on the sawn-off trunk of a dead tree, and it makes for some great folk horror winter sunset photos.

My mum and dad’s metal bird sculpture in their garden, earlier this year.

Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll. Wigtown Bay from the garden of Bayview Nursery last Saturday. Oh, take me back to Scotland already.

I needed to escape into a familiar and comforting story this weekend, so I’m listening to L M Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Rachel McAdams’s narration is just the tonic. I so wish she’d narrated the whole series.

The audiobook cover of L M Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. A red-headed girl wearing a blue dress and straw hat stands on a grassy hillock with a blue sky, white fluffy clouds and the sun behind her. Pretty flowers frame the scene.

It has arrived, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social! Can’t wait to dip into it, once I’ve handed in my manuscript!

Tom Cox’s new book: Curious Events Lately Occuring in This Neighbourhood. Cover art is a whole heap of enticing things like: a hand holding a witchstone, a helicopter, an old landline telephone, trees, graves, an apple core, a stamp, a wasp, and a ruined building.

#InternationalLiteracyDay feels more important than ever. As our eyes get tugged away from the written word, drawn in by short-form videos and AI slop, we're not just losing the ability to read glyphs, but also the ability to read between the lines. Read. Enjoy. Dream. Think.

Stop considering it. Just ban them. Do it now. Disposable barbecues are (a) useless as BBQs, take ages, food often still raw in middle, (b) environmentally horrible, (c) incredibly good at starting massive fires. There is no good argument for them. Bin them off www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

No artist ever just wanted the end result. Every artist of any kind wants to see the product of their labours, the expression of their dreams, their struggle realised. The process is the art, the end result is the prize. Anyone who thinks any gen-ai is art fails to understand this simple truth.

I only discovered Tamsin Winter’s books recently. These two are excellent: engaging, pertinent and moving. Perfect real life issue books for tweens and teens. I have @tamsinwinterauthor.bsky.social’s three other books to read next.

Two books by Tamsin Winter. Being Miss Nobody which has a red cover with a small drawing of a girl in school uniform under a black rain cloud. It’s about a teen girl with selective mutism. And GIRL (in real life) which has a drawing of a girl with white blonde hair wearing a pink t-shirt and yellow shades against a blue background. It’s about the negative impact on a teen girl whose entire life has been vlogged.
