Not happy to learn BSKY suspended Patton Oswalt. He is one of the good guys. I guess this platform is no different from all the rest. So over social media.

what’s important to me: loving the humans and animals in my life, writing, and spending time in nature, which is a spiritual practice for me. I have the opportunity to do all of those now, unlike when I was younger, busier making a living, and confused about what was important.

I have been deciding whether to winnow down to one platform in the year 2026. Substack continues to be my favourite but Bluesky is running a close second. I wish more of my friends would begin blogging. I’d love to hear what they have to say.

Unless I absolutely must for professional reasons, I will not be watching your nuclear war movie. I will not be watching your incredibly bleak and depressing murder show. I will not be watching your artistic despair. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t order water when I’m already bailing my boat.

I’m not sure there’s anything I care about more than birds. How could I have spent so many years in a city, without the sustenance, a natural setting provides? #birdsky #birds

#TheTwen2ie5 10/50 Arooj Aftab — ‘Raat Ki Rani’ (Pakistan, 2024)

Same comment as last time I posted this: Her vocal is so light it's as though it could float away and carry you off with it, but the music underneath is tense and grounding. Brilliant record

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT Age 17, 1983. A seriously bad perm, but hey, at least I had gams, now I have hams.

Lunch at Westfalia Bakery never disappoints. The croissant was stuffed with ham and cheese, the bun with sweet/savoury Bulgogi beef. 10/10
