B&W photo captured on the lunch break this week. 

An old leafless tree growing out of a rock outcropped overhang. Standing tall next to a brand new pine - two beautiful silhouettes against the foggy forest backdrop.

A black pen in crosshatch technique and black ink applied with a small roller on white paper illustration of a scene of Venice. A black Cat sits in a Gondola, Crows sit atop long poles that rise from the water. Water laps at the Gondola and a little wooden jetty, across the water hazy buildings, their lights just visible through a fog. Crows circle above. A dark figure of a man stands on the jetty by the Gondola on the left of the illustration. Mysterious.

Decided to part with this one. An illustration I made when my mum was ill & one of the last she saw me make. A piece probably about grief, illness, sadness & departure so of course I called it β€˜Don’t Look Meow’ πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

This is a very good encapsulation of how a lot of us feel about the impact of AI on a day to day basis which is that using it to find information can be more helpful than Google but a lot of that is because Google has gotten much worse

Portrait orientation photograph of a fog-covered oak woodland hillside. A diffuse sun glows softly through dense fog at the top of the frame. Dark, richly detailed oak trees fill the foreground, with ghostly silhouettes of trees dissolving into mist in the middle distance

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

Inside the witch is a library of feral spirits, a hundred books that need not be written for their knowledge is best told by tree root and hedge blossom. Her living practice is a curation of wonders and wild wisdom. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

A great egret walking through grass, facing right. It's white with a very long neck, long beak, and long black legs. One of its dinosaur feet is in the air as it takes a step.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Capturing the Moon The so-called wise men of Chelm, a group of fools in Eastern European Jewish folklore, once tried to capture the moon. Seeing the reflection of the moon in a barrel of water, they covered the barrel in an attempt to capture it in the barrel. Of course, the next day, when they opened the barrel, the moon was gone. They tried to go to the authorities, but since they lacked any proof that the moon ever belonged to them, the police dismissed their claims and the all cried out in despair, lamenting the lost moon.
