Movie posters that could only be put up in British railway stations, one of a series of probably one.

An ad for a ghost movie with the tagline "See it. Séance. Haunted."; a reference to the British Transport Police's long-running "See it. Say it. Sorted." ads encouraging the public to report anything vaguely suspicious.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Arbor Low, Derbyshire. This photo was taken on a beautifully still day in May this year. Only skylarks and bees for company during the visit to this stunning place. 📷 needs a click. #StandingStoneSunday #ArborLow #PeakDistrict

A view from the bank of Arbor Low Henge, across the ditch to a grassy central circle of (probably) fallen standing stones. In the distance is a farm and a line of trees. The sky is a milky blue.

A page from my grief memoir in progress, cropped for easier reading (in theory). Death and Money, they go hand in hand.

Text reads: My siblings, the Log House, and class are important elements of this backstory. Growing up I felt a lot of confusion about my social class. Dad did well for himself, his business was successful and he seemed to have a natural knack for managing money and using it to his advantage.

Text reads: My mother did not. She poured her energy into a perpetually failing small business, limped it along year after year, used child support to pay for our housing and “we can't afford that” was her regular refrain.

Text reads: Was I on the bottom rung of the American Dream, gripping white knuckle onto middle class status? Or was I flirting with luxury, denying I was rich while riding in a new SUV and flying out to the Grand Canyon with my siblings?

The full page, a collage of early 90s JC Penney catalog images but all the models have either a dog or a pig head. The panels are skewed, shooting off at different angles.

Fab panel for #Wayword today with Tasha Suri and VL Bovalino talking about lady knights and warrior women. Tasha kindly signed my illumicrate edition despite the fact that it technically came signed and dedicated it, with a little drawing of the cat from the book

Illumicrate edition of the Isle in the Silver Sea: Vina the knight is on the left in pale armour with short dark hair and she's holding the chin of Simran, the witch, who has long dark hair.

Signed title page dedicated to me and decorated with a little line drawing cat labelled Mal after the cat in the book

Robin Ince is both a very talented man and someone who lost a lucrative (by the standards of the British comedy industry) gig by taking a stand against transphobia. Support him and you get good stuff *and* show others that they'll get support if they do likewise. Win/win.

Some more foggy autumnal trees from this morning. Such lovely conditions :) #Fog #Berkhamsted #AwesomeFoursome

A silver birch in the middle with white trunk, lots of nice yellow leaves, and some fog in sunny light.

Before sunrise a foggy-ish scene with a smattering of yellow leaves and some orange and green ferns.

Backlit woodland scene with a path to the right and some bushes covered in cobwebs.

Lovely pendulous silver birch side-lit by the sun and a bit foggy. Touches of yellow leaves.

What I always find fascinating about this stuff is that the "non-brewed condiment" label isn't, as you'd think, to do with modern food-labelling laws. It's because of the temperance movement more than a century ago.

What I don't get with the whole "AI is sentient" slop that they're trying to sell us is--surely if AI were sentient, it would be a living being and as such humans wouldn't be allowed to exploit AI with no pay, no rest and no workers rights?
