Many moons ago, I created and voiced a follower mod called Lucien Flavius for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. He's a cheerful and musical scholarly companion who learns from you as you adventure together. More updates coming soon! www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecia... #TheElderScrolls #Skyrim

Just saw Inter Alia at the National Theatre, starring Rosamund Pike @jamieglover.bsky.social and Jasper Talbot. SO good, brilliantly performed and so important and thought-provoking! If I'm ever a dad, this one will be in my head. Should you get the chance, strong recommend!

One day I'd love to record a French dub of my Lucien follower mod and have him become an assassin. But then, what are Lachances of that?

A thing I wrote on the tram #poem #poetry #writing
A Thing I Wrote on the Tram I walk fast. I've got places to be and things to do! Sometimes that place is my sofa and the thing is a video game But I want to be there! So I walk fast. This morning I was walking to catch the tram. I didn't know when it was due, so I walked fast in case I'd just miss it. I passed an old man with a crutch. He did not walk fast. His steps were tiny and pained, barely a few inches at a time. And between each step, a pause and a clack as he hefted his crutch. I thought about what it must be like to be him. How frustrating, to have once walked fast, and now to be so. Slow. One day that will be me, I thought. I don't look forward to that. But it's a long time away. A problem for future me. And I hurried on to the tram stop. Turns out it wasn't due for another five minutes, so I sat on a bench and replied to some emails. I worried about the things I had to get done today. After a while, I heard heavy breathing. And there he was, with his crutch. I scooched over to the end of the bench, so he could sit. But he didn't sit. He hobbled past me. Oh, I thought, he must not be getting the tram. But he struggled onward to the next bench. He just didn't want to sit next to me. Good for him. I looked back at my phone and considered playing Bloons. What can I say, I'm easily distracted. I heard a shhhkk! And I looked up. The old man had lit a cigarette. We sat there for a minute. His second hand smoke drifted over to me. I thought about cancer, and time, and age, and death, and my brain briefly boiled with the familiar fear of the fleetingness of existence. And then we both got on the tram.

Lesson learned: if you offer to review indie books and ask for no AI slop, people will immediately send you AI slop 😂

Directed and produced an indie full-cast comedy audio drama about treacle mining as a tribute to my late Dad! It's on Audible now and is extremely silly - think The Goon Show, Hancock's Half Hour, etc. Would love it if you fancy dropping a credit on it?

Five puppets and a treacle-eating boggart look towards the camera, in an underground treacle mine full of lava. Above, "The Treacle People" is written in dripping treacle. Below, "Still Sticky, by Jonathan Trueman".

The Treacle People: Still Sticky is coming very soon! To give it the best launch possible (and hopefully pave the way for more instalments in the future), we're doing our best to promote the show on Prime Video. We wondered if you'd be kind enough to lend us a hand...?

Alt: Lucien Flavius (from the Skyrim mod Lucien) saying "I'm a scientist, philosopher, amateur wizard, and something of a musician, though I suppose that's more of a hobby."

The UK government is currently running a consultation on AI in the arts, and whether it should be regulated. It closes today! There are a lot of questions, but you only have to answer as much as you want to. If you have some time, and like me feel that art should be protected, please fill it in!

Been working on the final episode of the Treacle People audio drama today and gosh the cast did such a beautiful job with this one. Very exciting to be so near the end, can't wait to get it out there!

The Moobark is a proud and noble beast. A natural cross between an Airedale Terrier and a Friesian Cow, this fine animal can be found roaming the fields of the treacle-mining village of Sabden and its surrounding environs.
