Learned about e-mail.wtf from @sharonodea.com it reminded me about Google's ridiculous email validation which ignores dots in the local part to create an address so allows me in the UK to create stephen.way@ and some idiot in Texas to create stephenway@ as two addresses.

Have a go! (I scored 20/21)
Email is Easy
Everyone knows what an email address is, right?

Did a little gig photography at The Old Blue Last, False Heads supported by Misplaced. Punk bands in tiny venues with a great crowd - top stuff.

Back in March, I spent a couple of weekends supporting the UK Scout Youth Team youth forums with @scoutcontent.bsky.social teams. An inspiring series of events!

A little comic about desire paths.
Ok so… There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway. After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

Frosty morning walk in north London.
Iron railings encrusted with frost and cobwebs A frozen artificial watercourse with frost-whitened grass and reeds and trees against the sun An arched footbridge over a frozen watercourse with frost-rimed banks A spiderweb on metal railings, made white by frost.
