#Dailydrawing weekend break. 2 of 3? Will I manage another on the train home? And fill the sketch book. I think I could have nudged the red render a few notches higher. Dunfermline town. @drrjwarren.bsky.social @saocousins.bsky.social

I finished “Sagittarius” last night (my first Ginzburg) and I can’t stop thinking about it. Might become a Natalia Ginzburg completist I fear

Your post reminds of an expression I read semi-recently: the internet was somewhere we used to visit and then leave; now it follows us wherever we go.

Genuinely cannot be understated how unwelcoming the lack of private accounts make this place
Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesn’t grow, *it will die*.
Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you don’t want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldn’t use, and the like, will kill it quicker.

The “British person” in this instance was me; I do find it deeply amusing that, as well as being extremely racist about British Indians and their role in British food culture, this America has managed to name the curry that was most famously created in Britain

There are so many reasons I wouldn’t be a good assassin. First of all, I can’t drive or parallel park. Also, I have a really expressive face.

The best archaeology genre is “We have always been making weird little guys”
An ancient handmade bowl with human feet to bring a smile to your face!
The bowl tips slightly forwards as if offering its contents!

I sometimes get asked how I’m not afraid to love so loudly & intensely considering I’ve been badly burned in the past, to which I say this: love is never wasted, I don’t know how to do it any other way, & also I don’t get embarrassed over vulnerability
