Hello. I would like to celebrate the lost art of the compilation album as an eye and ear opening path into pleasures previously unknown. It might be a sampler, it might be a mix album but it's a person's singular vision of a particular genre or theme. Thread below of some favourites

Throwback to when I needle punched some mould in my foundation year.

A long walk home yesterday in a delightful snowstorm. I passed this person on their own walk going the opposite way. After they passed I turned and took this photograph .

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

It's felt like this all week down here in the West Country. Water everywhere, low grey skies, and both seemed to stretch out endlessly.

This is in fact the Ceredigion coast taken a couple of summers ago. Nevertheless it feels apt.

This story is getting wilder - not only is it a known solitary spider species living communally, but it's cohabiting with a second species, a type of commensalism(?) not before observed. Would be very interested to see if the species are cooperating with weaving/hunting, and how that works.

This ‘arachnid megacity’ may be largest spider’s web ever found

One thing at Utopiales...they kept introducing me as the Pope of Weird Fiction and I had to keep saying no no this is purely a secular and non-hierarchical enterprise...

Obsessed with these trippy trees in a canyon in Canada. The forest was so dense and covered in moss and lichen, it was like it was melting, refracting even.

FULLY GREEN

Come for a wander with me,
through green woodland
down to a wondrous sea
through landscapes both hollow and still
listen to the call of the wild
