In 66 years, a different solstice 21 June 2092, 11am a black sun arose: an orb, the size of that luminary, but dark, defined, whose beams were shadows, ascended from the west; in about an hour it had reached the meridian, and eclipsed the bright parent of day. Mary Shelley, The Last Man, 1826

Happy Father’s Day to my fellow hard working dads on here. I was blessed with a lie in until 8am, a fry up and a big box of malteasers.

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Hookland has surfeit of time traumatised towers. Edifices that wear ghost rumour as gawdy greasepaint. They bend you to their stories, urge you to run fingers across their psychic cicatrix. Sometimes they seem to flinch, sometimes it is we who recoil in horror. – #CJosiffe

Took the opportunity to cut the grass this morning and thought the bees in our roof had all died off because of the weather an the time of the year, but found some survivors nesting in our old birdhouse.

“yance gane, ae gane, and niver saw mair o’ them” the 'last fairies in Cumbria' were seen dancing on Sandwick Rigg in 1850 before climbing a ladder into a cloud and vanishing! more in: "Folklore of the Lake District" #bookwormsat #lakedistrict art: detail from Dancing Fairies by August Malmström

being a poet is weird because you can be hyper focused on the philosophical or elbow deep in despair’s umbra but there’s still always a chance an ape will just show up wearing your father’s hat

Midsummer-ish in Applecross... Took this at midnight last night. Thanks to the neighbours for keeping the hall light on for added atmosphere 👍

This is a really interesting and informative video on the Amstrad GX4000 by Kim Justice. youtu.be/WH1f1EcjnkU?...

I can’t wait to work on these next two projects, I say as I’m currently working on two more completely unrelated ones.

Found this afternoon on a veteran oak near St Bega's Church in the Lake District. I think this is oak bracket fungus but it is also known as weeping conk or warted oak. It belongs to a group called butt rot fungi. Seems to be oozing amber through pores. #FungiFriday #FungusFriday

Sensational stuff 🤩 x

So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

Goodnight.

It’s always mad to me seeing PAC do a promo and try to suppress the Geordie accent. Just once, I’d like for him to go all out screaming, “Here man! A’ll dance on ye lips, ye little fuck’n divvy!”

Seems like a good time to mute the words auto, grand, theft and every instance of the letters I and V.

I respect Etrian Odyssey a LOT, but the way they handle maps means they can't use some of first-person dungeon crawling's best most evil tricks, like dropping you down a floor and leaving you unable to tell if you are in a new area or a place you've already mapped.

happy birthday Isabella Rossellini

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Indies have been doing this for ages! This short film and the story it was based on, properly gave me the fear. Both are excellent! youtu.be/_u6Tt3PqIfQ?...

Between watching Kyle McDougall’s photography videos and starting BBC’s Death Valley, I’ve been appreciating how beautiful Wales is. I haven’t visited since I was a kid but I’d love to take my girls when they are a bit older. youtu.be/VtnOvQQ5hXs?...
