The "Tramble, Tarot, and..." Podcast
Not just a tarot podcast. "Tramble, Tarot, and..." is where I show how tarot connects to daily life by putting myself on the spot.

This is all I needed to see on the internet today. Tapping out.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

But even the packaging when it arrived...I half expected to uncover a handblown glass orchid or something.
vv pleased with this new find.

NAILED IT ON THE EFFING HEAD.
A few months ago I was asked to give the after-dinner speech at the CWA Daggers. I chose to talk about AI, and the bravery and humanity involved in reading and writing. Afterwards a lot of people asked me to post the speech online, so here it is. I hope you like it ruthware.com/daggers-spee...
Daggers Speech
The following is a lightly edited version of a speech I was asked to give at the 2025 Daggers – the prestigious crime fiction awards administered by the Crime Writer’s Association of the UK.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.
