Another important report from BBC's excellent Social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan and Adam Eley, BBC News:

Middle Class Guardian writers really are full of shit. I was expecting drug fuelled South American prison but no it’s a naked forest retreat and it sounds like she’s never seen a naked body before. I’ve never laughed so match in my life. Did Chris Morris write this?

I write on Substack simply because it is a place to put my inner monologue, it makes my head quieter. I don’t seek followers as I didn’t think I have anything worth reading but I do cross post them sometimes as one never knows. Strikes me about 75% of the notes there are about how to gain followers.

One of my fav paintings - IKB 43. It’s an immersive experience. & he meant the intense, vibrating color to feel dimensionless, drawing you out of reality and into an “immaterial dimension”. He described it as moving from “nothing, then… a profound nothingness, after that a blue profundity” #art
