This arrived - am stoked to read it. I began with the online version and got two pages in before thinking, "this is a book to have in your hands, so you can read it properly." Some writers deserve the respect of not looking at their work through a glass screen. @ruha9.bsky.social #imagination

I'm cross-posting this because I am really enjoying having Nishant Jain's little book by my side just now. It's a humble work, yet it is full of insights into creative work.

If you're like me, wanting to be a better artist or writer, you will not regret reading this.

We did not arrive at this dark moment in human history by coincidence. We are at the final frontier of the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza because of nearly 2 years of military, financial and political support from the United States.

I'm going to clean up my BlueSky feed a bit. I block-followed a load of lefties and "anti" people in error and it's ruined the experience. I'm going back to art and artists for my mental health. Sorry if that annoys anyone x

Three years ago, I had the honour of collaborating with Ukrainian dancers from Edmonton via a virtual meeting. They taught me some Ukrainian dance moves, and I taught them some Bhangra moves. I'm sharing the video today in solidarity because standing with the oppressed is standing for lasting peace.
