lovely visit, sharing fitabillies bun :)
Woke before dawn, scrabbling and biting, dreaming of my werewolfity; walked it off; spent the day in Cambridge with the always thought-provoking @badaude.bsky.social and finally home to find three salmon in the fridge. Will walk *that* off in due course.

the only academic whose lectures i enjoyed as an undergraduate - critical writing as performance - a lifelong inspiration
RIP John Carey. This book changed my life, and I wouldn’t say that if it wasn’t true. 🙏

ok, it's 'outsource my xmas present to my nephew' time again. rules.
-it's a book.
-the author's alive-i like to give living ppl money
-it's almost certainly indie-published
-you're unlikely to see it in a mainstream bookshop
-nevertheless it's suitable for a smart 13/14 y.o.-it can stretch him too

James Gleick at @nybooks.com calls Amateurs! an 'insightful... philosophical investigation'! Anyone who reads my book will find that that the people I write about are far from all the 'same age & class' but the book is reviewed alongside Cory Doctorow & Tim Berners-Lee & I'll take that).
