There’s only one smouldery Heathcliffe and that’s Timothy Dalton. The new film looks like Disney, with ridiculous clothing. The male protagonist looks he’s from a folk band rather than being a powerful, cruel narcissist. Not that I’m in any way in favour of such. 😊

Getting some Chance Operation Dictionary poems ready for submission. I made them in 2018 and they are WEIRD-ass. From a dictionary stolen from an Embassy. It feels somehow trasgressive to introduce words that would never otherwise have met and then to hang out, feeling free in their intersection.

Piss off a landowner today.
A ridiculous way for BBC ‘News’ to headline an article in which it’s clear that the Wildlife Trusts’ plans are overwhelmingly popular. But it has spurred me into making a donation towards this brilliant project—if you would like to chip in too, here’s the link 👇🏻

I led a Coastal Resilience & Storms poetry workshop yesterday. Our poets ranged from age 3, 😍 two 9 years olds and a few first-time poets. We translated our communal cento into Morse Code and then flashed the first stanza over the estuary by torchlight 🔦 to a group who will decipher it and reply ❤️

In UK we call a lesser enabled phone a ‘brick phone’. I’ve seen it called a ‘dumb phone’.
Do not use that term, a phone with less tracking and cookies/personalised ads is very smart, if you are brave enough to step out of the echo chamber cave & look outside, instead of at the shadows on the wall.
