I'm very proud of passing my signalman assessment yesterday, but would prefer it if my card number 010 didn't look like OLD.

I wrote to my MP this morning (in a much less beautiful letter) to express my concerns about the opt out proposal. It's very easy to find your MP's contact details on the Houses of Parliament website, so please do the same if you are able. They won't know if we don't tell them.

A handwritten letter on my illustration work desk to my local MP, Mel Stride, asking him to help UK children's book illustrators keep our copyright during the current AI policy consultation ✍️

Dear Mr Stride, can you please help me and other UK children’s book illustrators? The governing is considering AI policy measures that would make us, as copyright holders, ‘opt out’ if we don’t want tech companies breaching our copyright to train their systems. The big companies then use our own art in competition against us. The UK ought to be proud of its children’s book tradition. Our artwork is exported all over the world, and by giving it away free, we’re ruining the industry. Children will be poorer: there’ll get dumbed-down, mechanical books that have no real person thinking hard about each aspect of them. My colleague Steve Antony described it: “It’s like allowing someone to break into my house and steal my belongings so that they can research, recycle and resell them, unless I stick a label on each and every one of my belongings that says ‘DO NOT STEAL’, even though the objects are clearly not theirs and clearly within someone else’s house. That house bring my copyright. It’s absolutely ridiculous, makes no sense, completely destroys existing copyright laws and insults every single one of us.” Please, could you stand up for us and out copyright? If you could mention our concerns to Feryal Clark, Minister for AI & Digital Governent, and to Chris Bryant, Minister for Creative Industry, Arts & Tourism, I’d greatly appreciate it. Warmest wishes, Sarah McIntyre, Illustrator & Author, Bovey Tracey

I'm liking Blue Sky. Just one follower, my great mate the Evil Reeve, suits me. I'm fed up of all this "how many friends have you got? " tripe. And of course the only person who'll see this is the man himself, so it's like a total media platform just for the two of us. Fab.

Aha, so I've got Blue Sky to work. So far so good.
