Hello Bluesky!

Life has given me ample opportunities to explore, and I've taken many of them. Along my travels I have assumed the roles of poet, musician, actor, writer, researcher, community builder & trusted confidant.

I was raised in the forest & am forever aiming to be wild.
In this book of men’s poetry, I flipped to the back where three women’s poems are kept, I read this and ached with romantic longing

What’s happening in London’s air today? I’ve seen A LOT of low flying military aircrafts in quick succession, ending with a fleet of planes in formation with red, white and blue smoke??

WE WON!

The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature.

But we're just getting started.

It was never just about Dartmoor.

We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.

Yesterday I read about how Tamera, an intentional community in Portugal, only shares publicly what is working. They don’t share their doubts or struggles with the world. Yet within their community, they are radically honest about everything.

I noticed I do the same thing.

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social had me laughing out loud catching up with the most recent episode. Wish I had’ve had time to visit Limerick and do one of my travel videos about it.

I think we’re tapping into the same ideaspace though…been thinking about DDT

These tough times are teaching me to find resilient joy - the kind of joy where you feel the hurt and the heartache, but you feel it together and move through it until you sing at the top of your lungs into the rain, reminding yourself that this is spring, and we are growing.

Do you ever feel like a literal idea machine?

Like, if you were living your purpose, your job would be to come up with an idea, then send that to a team to explore, then having another idea and sending it somewhere else and on and on, until your work time is over.

Anyone feel like that sometimes?

Does a social media artist exist yet…by name, I mean, as a term?

For sure, there are those among us who are artistic in the way they weave platforms into rich tapestries of joy, or wonder, or amazement. But is there a job title that goes with it? Can you win an award?

What about living models?

I think I need to have a livestream channel where I just record the audio and video of where I am. Like, a nice little #portable recording set up that I can easily just set and forget, maybe sometime move around…swivel…ASMR vibes.

I was writing and the grammar tool suggested that ‘are’ should be ‘is’, so I started correcting it.

I thought I was replacing the text, but I was just inserting the new letters.

Are became arise.

To arise, is to place the singular being within the collective being.

Like a wave in the ocean.

Despite being very overwhelmed by the end of day 1 in Marrakech, I think I’ll stay a little while.

On the face of it, I got really excited about this. Then I saw the price tag. Charging people to wild camp seems like a lateral move in the capitalist system.

Would it be so wrong to just let people camp for free, so long as they abide by the same laws that regulate Scotland's right to roam?
Just a reminder to anyone reading this PR piece - true wild camping is covered under access rights in Scotland and does not require paying a membership fee or any fee to landowners. Official government advice on where/how to wild camp responsibly here:

Ever just want to sit down together with the friends you've made across the world, maybe in a circle on a sandy beach, and joyfully, playfully, share dreams for the future?

My month in Portugal has come to an end. Sitting in the airport awaiting my flight to Lanzarote and wondering what adventures await.

Living and working with #permaculturists, helping to establish a #FoodForest has been calming to the nervous system and exciting to the senses.

What a trip!

Picked up a book from my hostel’s shelf and found a paragraph that explains the narrator’s perspective on aliens that I can get behind.

“I have absolutely no problem with the notion of life elsewhere. It is inconceivable that it should not exist…”

First day in Porto was wildly magical! Today, the stormy weather has taken control, so I may not explore very much. We shall see.

This was how I started my day yesterday:

Co-star says today is a good day for loitering and barefoot foliage. Great day to travel to Portugal!

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social do you like pickles? Has the quality of pickles gone down over the years?

Speaking as a neurodivergent Canadian living abroad (London, UK) who used to LOVE eating pickles and drinking the juice. I feel like I haven’t had a really good pickle in years.

While browsing YouTube, I came across this recent news story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB3x...

We need to usher in the rights of nature and come down hard on businesses exploiting/harming nature for profit.

Each year, I come up with a slogan for the #NewYear. Here are the ones I've set so far:

2020: Don't shit yourself!
2021: A step up!
2022: Get it!
2023: Hold onto your hat!
2024: Move on up

What should be the slogan for 2025?

"Rise and shine!"
"Full steam ahead!"
"Take the leap!"

without deep love

Just discovered the term #enshittification and after reading Cory Doctorow's article about it, it's got me thinking more about switching costs of platforms.

Does it seem reasonable to turn online social space into a single public service?

I finally watched #DirtyComputer by #JanelleMonae and I'm so glad I did. Really makes me want to do some futuristic storytelling, maybe through #video, maybe through #music.

Can you pretend we're in love?

Not sudden falling,
but deeply knowing each other's love.
I want to be held preciously,
kissed tenderly,
and scooped into arms that can hold my whole universe.

Is there an app for that?

Any #recommendations for #IndigenousFuturism content?

I want to see #FuturisticTechnologies rooted in #indigenous ideologies. Futuristic cities in harmony with the land, or even travelling nomadically, with #pre-colonial gender systems and relationships with all living beings.
