I don't automatically follow back, I think follow for follow back is a waste of everyone's time. If I think you're relevant to my interests, I'll follow back. I'm fussy because I want to read things that interest me and to engage with people I have things in common with.

Autumn colour
Shows ghostly
My crunching boots
Reveal sweet decay
Imply bright hues
Lost, remembered, imagined.

#StandingStoneSunday
The Long Stone near Minchinhampton. At over 7ft high and full of holes and depressions this a fascinating site. Many gifts and offerings are left on it - see photographs below - and I have a request for help with a research project.

So it did! And it's bonkers we went from Best New Band to being in Best Band category at all. Bonkers, but thrilled. Thanks as ever to all #Prog Magazine Readers who voted, the Prog Magazine team & our dear cheerleaders @progzilla.com (Still your fault @mikewhitfield.bsky.social 😊)

This happened, even though it's 9 months later now

"Holy Bloody Moly! Thanks so much to all who voted for us in the Prog Mag's readers poll!
We're THRILLED to be included in the Best Band category alongside such absolute prog legends!"

this brings back fond memories of The Drag King in Yellow.
Today have been putting Shakespeare in a mumming play, and talking about co-writing.
thank you! I'm still brewing a lot of thoughts about folk horror and archaeology, so I'd love to be able to share that at some point.
it was all very sudden and dramatic, I wes ill, went blind... there have been ops, I'm a bit better but pretty messed up, annoyingly.
thank you. I can't figure out how to get the chat on here big enough that I can read it, unhelpfully!
Alongside this madcap project there are novels, poetry collections and Druidry books in my shop , all with pagan and animist elements. ko-fi.com/O4O3AI4T/shop

I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

I have realised that as a person who can barely see I'm going to have a harder time of it making my stuff accessible for other people with different issues - as reading for a talk is now nigh on impossible, producing a text script for one is a bit more awkward for example. I shall learn.

If anyone wonders whether people care about at accessibility at conferences, I'll point out that my post on accessibility at the conference immediately has more responses than conference post itself.

Make your stance loud and clear.

Also... actually make your conference accessible.
I am going to happen to you :-)
If you've followed me and I know you but I've not followed you back, please wave. I've been offline for months due to blindness (still can't see much) and I may have missed people. If I don't know you but you want to fix that then pleasealso wave.

#inktober day 14 'Trunk'

The memory of an Oak is written within
Unseen til death
Memories of
sunrise and sunset
hard winters
dark summers
gentle rain
plenty and drought
More changes than our memory ever holds
And now
We trace those years with our fingers, touching history we can only imagine
thank you. I am having a tough week, but also having that grief response of just wanting to hug the living close while I can.
