Tan boots and blue jeans in the shadow of a dashboard, carrying the weight of a man and a journey he only half understands. Somewhere between Pembroke and the void. Possibly sentient. Photographed from the passenger’s side. Charging cable photobombs the scene.

Fuck, what if AI smooths me out like a stone in a river?
I wrote this because I’m scared it’ll eat my voice — that weird, messy, “fuckity fuck” Steve-ness.

Searching for light, losing focus.

Walked the beach
sun too sharp,
lost my focus
chasing texture
the sea had already stolen.

April slipping into May.

🌍 Steve Reed wanted the Climate & Nature Bill to proceed. Ed Miliband promised to work on the #CANBill's objectives. Mary Creagh pledged to deliver “binding nature commitments”.

🚨 Labour Ministers are speaking out.

⏳ What’s the delay for new, joined-up, science-led climate and nature legislation?

❌ This is abhorrent as it is chilling. Many climate, environment and grassroots groups meet in #Quaker Meeting Houses—including Zero Hour. This aggressive violation of a place of worship must be called out. This is about freedoms of speech, assembly, public debate—the very basis of our democracy.

Every dictatorship and tyrannical regime in history came from a democracy that thought it could never happen to them.

Historian Timothy Snider took a hard look at the rise of authoritarian regimes in the 20th century, and compiled 20 lessons on how to prevent it from happening.
