Ahhh saw this and immediately thought of @brunelmuseum.bsky.social peepshows of the Thames Tunnel!
A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

May morning, Primrose Hill. Such scenes! Felt very London and very pagan, all at the same time. Huge privilege to see it.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟

Rewatching Thelma and Louise after a friend mentioned it recently. GOD it still holds up. I maybe haven’t seen this since I was a teenager? And wow, it hits different now - but is just as brilliant.

Irresponsible developments next to iconic venues lead to venue closures. That’s not right! These venues are lifelines for their communities, the pulse of culture, and the reason people flock to these areas in the first place.

At this point I am now becoming JEALOUS when the Hanged Man shows up in readings I do for other people 😂 that card has been a regular presence for me for a long long time. It has utterly disappeared over the last year (to the extent that I actually CHECKED MY DECK to make sure it was there!) #tarot

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

We don't want more AI. We want things to be reasonably priced and to be able to put the heating on without bankrupting ourselves, not computers that use so much energy they cause natural disasters making fake videos of natural disasters.

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember:
