Sometimes a walk on Dartmoor is a bit like passing through a curtain in reality that leads directly into a fairy tale.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.

He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.

Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

Covid STILL sucks. And part of the reason for that is because the reactionary response WON. Constant reinfections are creating chronic health problems, and govts are saying "There are too many sick people -- there's no reason for such an upsurge, They have to be faking. It's Over Because We Say So!"
I don’t blame people for this feeling! Covid really did suck and being forced to constantly encounter and negotiate our collective interconnectedness was exhausting and at times enraging. The backlash made a lot of sense. But it absolutely created a reactionary cultural and political environment.

The irony of having directed a film called Lightships during the current UAP and UFO flap. I always seem to be too early… tv.apple.com/gb/movie/lig...

And thank you for appreciating them, and for your very kind words!
Terminator in 4K—so cool! Already got Abyss & Aliens in 4K…and Laserdisc! Thanks @galeannehurd.bsky.social for producing films that inspired me as a filmmaker and as a documentarian. Abyss & Aliens set the bar for 'making of' content!

Earlier this year, I undertook a pilgrimage: a private tour of Prospect Cottage. When our work is seen as ‘other’, we record our lives and acknowledge that our creations have value. Even in an age that devalues anything extraordinary.

Fabulous day at @bafta with Lua, Jared and Ethan-James for the #youngbaftashowcase exploring creativity for young people. Lua and Jared were dressed by the Horrible Histories costume department.
One of those special days, and I’m feeling blessed and grateful for my family and the path we’re on.

The Onion acquiring Infowars happened because BlueSky made a joke to @bencollins.bsky.social, and @bencollins.bsky.social working to acquire The Onion happened because he made a joke on BlueSky.

Basically, joke about your dreams on BlueSky, it's a wish factory.
