Thank you to the Bluesky community who have carefully read & engaged with this piece. I’d also urge you to listen to the Professor Simon Baron-Cohen interview that I embedded. I can only include last 3 mins here but he gives precise chronology..including how he was cleared of plagiarism

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death. But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience. broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-digital-...

I've just been awakened to think for myself rather than floating in the sewage filled lazy river of media and social media. Will Self's analysis of events leading to the death of Professor Jason Arday. Read it and think! #Thinking

Mark Hebden@unionlib.bsky.social · 3w ago

This is an amazing piece on Jason Arday by the incomparable Will Self. He's kept all the receipts. Get a cuppa, it's a long read. Thanks to @nick-allen-poet.bsky.social for alerting me to it. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Solar eclipse this evening, 3 different techniques to capture the view. #eclipse #lightthroughthings

Multiple images of the eclipse on white card captured through the larger holes of a chestnut roasting pan so the card had to be further away to focus due to the large holes.

Small image of the eclipse captured by dirext phone photo with strange blue cloudlike alien shape surrounding which I cannot explain.

Inspiring visit to see #StainedGlassMuseum exhibition of painted glass by #TamsinAbbott that illustrates the book Wild Folk. Beautifully detailed painting & scraffito work is so intricate & the beautiful mouthblown glass chosen is allowed a staring role elevated by her designs. #Stainedglass #Ely

Flyer for the Tamsin Abbott exhibition of Stained Glass made for illustrations to the book Wild Folk. The image shows a magical colourful swirling blue green yellow sky like the northern lights with a painted silhouette of a rider and horse approaching a hill topped with trees.

Love this painting. Light through things is my current obsession be that glass, reflections or sunlight on leaves and petals showing hidden detail.

Continuing the ammonite theme here is the latest experiment. Dove Screen Enamels were applied over a vaseline resist. Given the smoke & fumes from the kiln firing I would not recommend vaseline & will be trying other resists. Keen to hear suggestions... #Stainedglass #Fusedglass #Doveenamels

A round transparent waterglass circle with coloured enamels applied over a resist to leave cler patches in the shape of an ammonite. The enamels in blue, green and orange are swirled into each other giving varied colour effects. The glass circle is in a black metal display stand.

A fused glass panel based on my father's fossil collection from holidays on the wonderful Dorset Jurassic Coast in the 1960s &70s. It missed #Artadventcalendar as it was a present! #Stainedglass #Fusedglass #Kilncarving #Glasspainting

A blue square fused glass panel with 3 kiln carved ammonites, a black glass paint seashell and seaweed, a copper shell and copper wavy seaweed inclusions. The panel has bubbles from the fusing process in the kiln and a hole where a big bubble popped which people have been kind enough to say could have been deliberate (but it wasn't).

Astonishing admission from Ollie Ilott, the Director General for AI in the British government. He says you wouldn't want an opt-out from AI training to be too easy to use, because the primary goal would be to get more work for AI companies to train on 🤯 🧵 1/3

Poem, panic, prayer Where are we going people?

Kind of a poem, kind of a prayer, kind of a panic.

Knots in my stomach

Global stress & gastric stress
Not feeling family in USA are safe
Not feeling USA is a Uk Ally
Not feeling good about living near US airbases in UK
Not feeling the usual creative impulses
Not feeling like getting out of bed
Not feeling like the social media disclosure requirements matter
Not feeling like the offers of £49 flights to USA are tempting
Not feeling like USA has calculated the economic impact on the rest of you of the individuals maximising their personal gain
Safety v sanity what a choice
What can we do...
Hug our kids
Be kind to our neighbours
Make art
Read books
Hold our elected officials to account
Pray

A star cluster within a nebula. The background is filled with thin, pale blue clouds. Parts are thicker and pinker in colour. The cluster is made up of bright blue stars that illuminate the nebula around them. Large arcs of dense dust curve around, before and behind the clustered stars, pressed together by the stars’ radiation. Behind the clouds of the nebula can be seen large numbers of orange stars.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23 “Chaos.” layered paint/paper 11 by 14 (in), an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. I wanted to capture the feeling of spontaneous creativity—a vivid, intense rhythm that invites you to get lost in its depth and movement. #AbstractArt

“Chaos.” At 11 by 14 inches, this piece is an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. Warm oranges and yellows pulse through the canvas, set against bold blacks and deep greens that create grounding forms. Bright pink lines drip vertically, bringing a sense of motion, while scattered splashes of blue, white, and red add unexpected moments of focus. The paint ranges from thick, textured strokes to smooth washes, allowing colours and shapes to interact dynamically. With “Chaos,” I wanted to capture the feeling of spontaneous creativity—a vivid, intense rhythm that invites you to get lost in its depth and movement.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025, Day 22: Ammonite scarf. My first hand-painted textile project. I still think that silk is a beautiful medium! 🧶 Medium: Pebeo Setasilk paint and silver gutta on 8mm Habotai scarf. Dimensions are 14 x 72 inches.

Full length ammonite scarf stretched out on a silk rack, fully painted and drying. The ammonites are outlined in silver gutta and rendered in turquoise, sky blue and light green tones against a field of blue-black.

Close up of the detail of a hand-painted ammonite, colors flowing and dappled on the silk.

Full length ammonite scarf hanging from a white aluminum gate. The morning light flows through the thin silk and makes the ammonites seem to glow.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 “Pulse”, 11 × 14 (in.) With “Pulse,” I aimed to capture a dynamic moment—something electric and alive—that keeps shifting beneath the surface.

The artwork is an abstract composition featuring bold and dynamic use of colour and form. It includes vibrant splashes of yellow, white, pink, red, and blue, intermingled with areas of deep purple and black. Sharp, black linear strokes cut across the canvas, intersecting with softer, cloud-like patches of white and pastel hues. There are fluid, curving blue lines and small white circular shapes dotted throughout the piece, adding a sense of movement and rhythm. The overall effect is energetic and layered, with contrasting textures and shapes creating a complex, visually engaging composition.
