An Irish #painting for you. "Ballina, Tolan Street" came out of wanting to go everywhere, so wishing the world was one single road that looped around the globe and I'd walk it forever, but instead the world is full of junctions and as I struggle with the choices I look at lot. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Having nowhere else to say this, I'll do it here. The limits we respect for fear of others'reactions are nothing more than our own doubts in disguise. I've been making many choices based on the fantasised disapproval of loved ones. The levels of emotional risk I've experimented with are synthetic.

"A concise new history of a century of struggles to define Asian identity and express alternatives to European forms of universalism." This sounds like a fascinating book full of fresh, decolonising perspectives. #books #history #society

I have 101 followers on here. I can't imagine speaking in front of 101 people. But that's not what this is, is it ? It never was elsewhere either. I should brush up on how the @bsky.app algorithm actually works.

If I could comfortably carry out essential administrative tasks without needing 50 different gov apps and a phone number, this smartphone would be recycled faster than you can say "doom scroll".
