I would mute if it was someone I knew. I only block strangers whose first post to me is irksome/rude/unpleasant, or bots.

… and my ear was picking up the conversation of passers-by as Irish. I wasn’t recognising words (obviously), but I was tuned into hearing completely different cadences. Very interesting experience and I could see why full immersion works!

I was super-busy the week before last and didn’t go out much. But I did watch a lot of Irish language television (especially “No Béarla”). Then last Sunday I went into London…

I went to see The Word For World Is Map and I would just like to observe that Ursula K. LeGuin was a gift to humanity in so many ways.

DO NOT MISS The Word for World: The Maps of @ursulakleguin.com, Architectural Association, Bedford Sq, London. It's truly beautiful. (I've never been involved w a project that's had massive banners before, it's v exciting).

Spend time with the maps, inc my niche fave, The City Ansul from VOICES 💙
The Architectural Association, a Georgian house of dark brick on Bedford Square, with two-storey high banners outside reading The Word for World and Ursula K Le Guin. A cyanotype white-on-blue banner with fern prints at the top and a map below hangs in a gallery. Other similar banners featuring different maps are glimpsed behind it.

Honestly never thought I’d see a fresh spin on the Prisoner’s Dilemma, who knew all it needed was some choccie duckies.

I do not think this rule has been consistently applied over the years, but it was so funny. Phil was hilarious throughout.
