Catch you all on the flip side!

& this, also from the new album The, is The Hurt. #NewMusic hilliatfields.bandcamp.com/track/the-hurt

Rode a Boston ā€œDuck Tourā€ bus past Dan Ackroyd walking down the street. We waved, he waved.

A trip filled with joy & heartache, but mostly joy. 17 days in the UK (technically 19 days away but two all-day travel days), 16 towns, 39 friends. Wish we could have seen all our UK friends. Just heartbroken to miss the one dear friend who had a serious medical incident. But still: grateful.

Had a great evening with the lovely @cornettofairy.bsky.social on our last night in the UK!

An absolute delight to catch up! 😘

I didn’t know this was controversial. Even if reading every submission beginning to end was feasible—without ballooning response times on every one to several months, at least—it wouldn’t be useful. You can tell within a few pages, paragraphs, sometimes even sentences if a story is working for you.

We should all treat one another the way some people treat me, knowing I don't have long left. Giving benefit of doubt, letting irritations go, finding ways to be kind unexpectedly, remembering to name the things we love about each other. None of us have forever, and you really do never know when.

This concept is so key. We need to get away from slogans and wrestle with exact reality, just as it is (something that few have more practice at than @mishellbaker.bsky.social).

Heart’s a bit broken right now as one of the main folks I traveled to see is probably unable to see me, but on the plus side I finally met @culturalsnow.bsky.social (& Small Boo) last night after well over 20 years of virtual friendship & it was a pure delight

Just so Gavin Newsom knows, defending democracy means protecting the trans and unhoused people, too. ā€œLiberty and justice for allā€ has no asterisks.

OK, my blog is now back up and running at fortrenn.ghost.io. If you're not currently a subscriber, but you *are* interested in early medieval north-east Scotland, you can read and subscribe here.

Comforting thought this morning that in 10 years' time, the last generation of human thinkers and writers will be dragged out of retirement to fix AI-generated 'knowledge', like ageing COBOL programmers being drafted in to fix the millennium bug.

You'd be in for a surprise if you thought you were making a phone call.

Happy Pride Month! You know who doesn't change their brand image to rainbow just for June? Ctenophores. They make their gay little rainbows all year. It's a Pride parade in the ocean every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 366 every four years. šŸ¦‘šŸ™

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either
