I'm grateful to National Library of Scotland and University of Glasgow for support making Childish, and to Cove Park where much of Blame was devised and shot.

Politics is built on speech acts. Why did you enter politics if not with a view to improving the world? If human suffering is unacceptable to you, then use your voice and privilege to act.

Emily Munro @emilymunro.bsky.social · Jul 30

When our politicians come back to us yet again with sympathetic words, it is necessary to respond: what are you actually doing to help? What powers are you using to stop a genocide? What else could you be doing to stop people being murdered today?

What's in a frame?

Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.

A grid of nine colorful and varied artworks, mostly abstract and filled with visual excess, against a neutral background.

My contributor's copy of 'Earth: poems of presence and possibility' has arrived from the US and it is gorgeous 😍 @tinywrenlit.bsky.social

Colour photo of a book entitled Earth edited by Dana J. Graef and Dana Knott. Title in green against cream with an illustration of many flowers and leaves. The book stands in front of a potted spider plant on top of a pale blue chest.
