Going to do a new pinned post as I'm changing domain, my domain is now bigbeardedbookseller.uk and everything is going on this domain now.

I'm writing about pretty much anything I'm interested in when I have something to say, so no timetable as such.

We took a slow route to get to Boggle Hole, this week's location (episode 283). Thread here... 🧵

First, a train to York.

We had an overnight stay in the YHA where the history of Rowntree's was beautifully illustrated on walls of the cafe.

This morning has been interesting.

Heard a barn owl on the walk in to town, then saw some deer in a field, then some curlew in another field

That was a long tedious read to remind myself that mainstream DC titles aren't for me

What I have done is set up another regular day on Bluesky, this time it’s #TranslatorThursday to give translators a time to shine and share and it seemed quite popular and hopefully will feed into the translator interview series.

I think I may have enjoyed my break a little too much, I’m not really worrying about it too much though as this is often cyclical and it will come back in its own time.

I’ve come back from holiday and seem to have lost my blogging mojo, not in the mood to read, and falling asleep at night trying to watch films…

If you make a mistake a post genAI bullshit and then take it down once someone points it out to you, that's fair.

If you don't acknowledge your mistake & refuse to take down the post, that's what the block button is for. The stakes are too high right now. Spreading disinfo is not okay.

If any of you lovely translators want to take part there is an interview series on my blog, a set of questions to ponder and if you want to be involved answer at least six, add some images, bio, and links to website/socials

There are three interviews already

Being delivered as sheep onto the road to their doom is such a great first scene. I saw this in the cinema when it first came out and not long before I moved down to Yorkshire, and I remember the hospitable silence of The Slaughtered Lamb so, so well. I’m always worried when I rewatch...
