This is what @teamlabouruk.bsky.social #climatechange promises are looking like (apologies to the magnificent Brighton West Pier).
The science hasn’t change just the pedalling of #climatedenial by those invested in big oil. That against our kids & millions of species future.
Worth it?

The carve up (scuz the pun) of @realgdt.bsky.social sentimental #frankenstein seems almost as an afterthought to credit #maryshelley the creator of that masterpiece & to quote Byron at the end & not her?!

Another woman writer thrown under the bus or in this case grave-robbed! Gotta do better!

Yesterday this beautiful sea in Brighton had sewage dumped in it care of Southern Water. Before you pay your shareholders bring your kids down to swim here. Fix your sewage infrastructure!

Then the red-flag at Brighton beach. The sea wasn't joking - this was about two hours after I swam when it was still 'safe' and the waves spun me and spat me out pretty quick. I love this wild beach - sky, stones and all.

Writing at dusk. Sometimes leaning into the night with something I’m writing takes me into whole new places. The sunsets even out the back of Brighton are magical.

Love this book for its brilliant story mapping. Find it really helpful and have become slightly obsessed with multiple story lines! Highly recommend - mine is battered now!

Back at #charleston - #vanessabell studio with a sculpture of #virginiawoolf & just the most beautiful space. I know #bloomsbury were hyper privileged but she had huge heartbreak too - Bell’s bare walled bedroom after the death of her son is devastating.

This massive old oak in a park in Bromley split in half last year when its branch collapsed. It was hit by lightening years ago & we used to sit in that crack when we were kids & yet still, greying as it is - it lives magnificently.

Delighted my first speculative novel, The Sky is the First Thing was shortlisted and received Honourable Mention for the 2024/25 Andromeda Prize. As a playwright jumping into fiction it’s really exciting to get on that list!

So if every time we search on ChatGPT we use a 500ml bottle of water. Then in an hour maybe a bathtub full, a week a swimming pool? That’s the rough usage of water needed to cool the AI machine.

So what were our brains for again?

Always feel like an iced finger is necessary on a Thursday afternoon. It goes somewhere to helping the brain-rot at this point in the week with a very strong cup of tea! My dad used to slice it & add butter! More words now!

This is just about the most amazing thing you’re gonna see on British TV at the moment. There’s also an episode with the mighty Welshman #michaelsheen on BBC. Moving, funny, profound. And very human. Love #dannydyer

Trafalgar Square looking pretty glam today and the fountain so inviting on a very hot spring day.

Love this city. Keep thinking I might see my teenage self before I ever left - gives me a bit of a shiver. What would I tell her?

Been watching #stationeleven again. If you missed it & need a break from #thelastofus this is sublime TV. One episode at a time - another version of the future. Arresting images & making Hamlet raw.

Couldn’t we use these huge amounts of money being spent on AI to change our cities & countryside’s to a sustainable future living - new research shows that 89% of people globally want change.

‘Spiral of silence’: climate action is very popular, so why don’t people realise it?
Researchers find 89% of people around the world want more to be done, but mistakenly assume their peers do not

Went to #charleston yesterday. So many stories, so much incredible work. Always making something new & the slowness of time was really inspiring. #vanessabell what an amazing woman!

Swam in the sea today in Brighton! Yorkshire rules - get in, swim until your organs start shutting down, fire up - then it’s lovely! Had to run home hyperventilating cos it was so bloody cold afterwards!
Love it here

My tree of trees. This extraordinary oak hiding in Yorkshire so huge & over 500 years - I really miss it.
Inspired the ancient tree in my podcast series No Place but the Water. Anyone else got a #treeoftrees ?

Thinking about #Chinatown so relevant right now. Maybe it’s the only way to tell #climatechange stories - show how the rich win.

“What can you buy that you can’t already afford?”
“The future.”

That’s what we’re fighting for.

Love a dog walk that ends here. #thereadingroom Brighton. Coffee, cinnamon buns & sea. Down Kemptown end if you are ever in town. Love this city. Grew up in #VeniceBeach, CA -
same beautiful vibes.

I adapted this beautiful book. Adaptation is always a kind of violence, you got to choose your way through - mine was the incredible women. Listen here:
