I wrote a book! And I promise you'll love it 🤩
Here's what Philip Pullman says about it: 'This book is lovely - Miranda's observations are as sharp as ever, and in a strange way they seem to sharpen my own.'

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

Woman in Walthamstow: I lost my cat. She was 15. I can’t do it again. It’s too hard. She was like family. I loved her so much.
Her friend: I hear you. But is it better to have our favourite family members in our lives, even momentarily?
Pause.
Woman: Yes. Yes it is.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

A man stands by a streetlight. His keyring on his forefinger, he flicks his keys in a complete circle around it, finally catching them again in the palm of his hand.

Woman in Walthamstow (swiping her forefinger in circles on her phone screen): Christ on toast, if I have to spend one more second trying to convince this crapping app to go into this folder, I’ll throw my phone down a well.

Early stroll. Gatherings of enigmatic shadows. Ghost miners work beneath my feet. I have a walk-on part in the morning. This is where Keith Barlow dropped that bottle, decades ago. In the distance a dog sends a voice note.
