Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go. Got some poetry under my belt, gone sober in Jan 2023. Ran a few marathons. Live in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No fascists, billionaires, s*x bots, A.I.s, DMs or politics.

I came to Bluesky because X (not twitter) had degenerated into a right-wing / fascist hell.
From 20 Jan 2025 there will be no American politics on my timeline. I gave it 8 years, it gave me anxiety and disappointment. You let in the clown, he brought the circus.

I would probably like it if I saw it now but I was a bit young and dumb back then.
Schrader did Mishima, and Cat People, 2 films I love.

Don't worry, we are only a grain of sand on a beach, at the edge of an ocean that laps against a continent that sits on a blue marble, that circles a tiny yellow sun, in a little solar system, inside one of millions of galaxies in a universe that is ever expanding 😊☕

Here's a writeup of my packrafting trip through Assynt in northwest Scotland a few weeks ago. I've only ever written a handful of pieces on my own travels, it's always about someone else, so I hope you enjoy. If you do, feel free to pass it on.

This meeting feels like what I imagine being at an American, Christian nationalist, klan rally as the only one dressed in black with a t shirt that says the devil has all the best tunes - must be like.
