Tremendous story- follow the thread.

Sieidis (Northern Sami: sieidi, Finnish: seita, Swedish: sejte, Russian: сейд) are Sami cultural items, usually a rock with unusual shape. Sieidis are found in nature in certain sacred places, for example at the sea or river beaches or on the mountain. #WyrdWednesday 🧵

July. Summer on the island muffles in scarves. Merino-socked, Berghaus-booted, swap cocoon of car for hilly slither… —Nikki Robson, “The Callanish Stones” from Other Worlds: An Anthology of Scottish Island Poems (Birlinn, 2022) #WyrdWednesday #poem #poetry birlinn.co.uk/2022/06/20/p...

“I don’t draw any lines. Being an artist and a Buddhist are exactly the same for me. Fortunately, Buddhism doesn’t require you to believe anything, and nobody’s in charge. This is like crack for an artist. ‘I’m in charge? Okay. I’ll take it.’” Laurie Anderson interviewed:

A room is a place where you hide from the wolves outside and that's all any room is.

I love the depth of consideration people give to this question in the replies. Bluesky at its best IMHO.

"'I have always been drawn to the Bill Burroughs of this world, who produce a vocabulary that is not necessarily a personal one, but something that is made up of ciphers and signifiers which are regurgitated, reformed, and re-accumulated,' said David Bowie …"

Oh dear…

@darrenpjones.bsky.social, you need to print out this series of posts from Tom Coates, pin it to the back of your front door and read it every morning before you go out. It might help you out of your delusions.

Good thread, this 👇

I promised you a book cover for Hookland Fragments Volume One at Midsummer and here it is:

Cannot fucking believe an external 4TB SSD drive that cost me $200 last year is now $1100. Had to check receipts to make sure. They’re really out there trying to keep you from having a PC, phone, or a gaming console so they can have hallucinating, polluting chatbots that drop bombs on kids’ schools.

Can we talk more about all of these things? #programming

very funny and apropos that the current aesthetic of the white house and the people inside it can be so accurately described as "Temu Versailles"

Wisdom being spoken here.

The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.

Interesting thread 👇

The key thing to understand about leading visions of the future is that it is a big club and you are not in the club.

It is a mantra to live by.

2026 Me: Hey 1996 me, in 30 years time you'll be furious at everything Tony Blair says and think John Major makes some pretty sensible points 1996 Me: Fuck, so I'm doomed to become more conservative as I get older 2026 Me: Well not exactly

While I’m here, have you heard this @mole9.bsky.social? I think you might like it. Puts me in mind of Yo La Tengo’s more upbeat moments. Had me dancing round the kitchen, which doesn’t happen often.

This truly is appalling. A massive racist would say they feel 'distressed' at black people being in the same space as them, and obviously what you do there is throw the massive racist out and ban them. This is pandering to bastards like they did to racists in the American South. Absolutely fuck this

I find it amusing* to substitute other differentiating terms in things like this and see how it reads. Substitute “black” for “trans” and “race” for “sex”, as an example. Would that declaration be acceptable? No, and rightly so. *infuriating

Just watching a Tom Clancy movie and spoiled as it talks about the president as if he wasn't a complete wankspangle. All American movies now mentioning FBI, their president and justice system as sane make them practically unwatchable.

The fact that a search in Apple Music for "Sparks" brings up the Coldplay song before the band says everything that needs to be said about modern society.

This is a really good idea! 👏👏👏

Jewels If I leave last Unknown hands will open drawers Empty pockets, tins and jars Of tiny sand-packed shells Wee pebbles worn smooth in the swell And glass of soft-ground Gulf Stream green And I will be on the West Beach with the oystercatchers Singing on the edge of the Atlantic #PegsPoyums

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

Astounding!

We’ve just come back from casting our vote in the Scottish Government Elections. If you’re living in Scotland please get out and do the same! Your vote DOES MATTER! If you’re in England you may have your own thing. YOUR VOTE MATTERS for that, so please go and vote as well. Welsh people: GO VOTE!

On Thursday get out and vote like your future depends on it, because it does. Round up your independence supporting friends and relatives and nag them into voting. You don't need ID or your polling card, just turn up at your polling station and vote. It's easy.

Do you know which streamer supports musicians in a sustainable way? None. None of them, do. I am sorry, but streaming just doesn't work economically for artists under capitalism, and it never will. If you care about music, you have to pay musicians directly. There is no other way.

No to both votes SNP. Forget 2021 or earlier elections. In 2026, the SNP will get too many FPTP seats to get any list seats. No SNP list seats anywhere. #VoteSNP1SGP2 NOT #BothVotesSNP #SNP1Greens2 NOT #SNP1&2

Three Scots are taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla – Owen Richardson Okie, Hughie Stirling and Bryn Higgs, all of them from Ullapool ⛵️ Here's everything we know as Israel intercepted more than 20 boats last night off the coast of Greece 🧵

Must investigate this! Of interest to you too, @mole9.bsky.social?

It's Glastonbury time again...

I reckon this’ll appeal, @shirley-sings.bsky.social

There comes a moment when you realise your weirdness is you strength. Lean into it. There comes a moment when you realise you are Fully-grown Changeling. Celebrate it. We are strange and we are here.
