Big bonus with Kagi is that its image search also lets you exclude AI images! And Erin is 10000% correct about the quality of search results. It took me time to adjust to actually finding what I was looking for each time, and not automatically scrolling halfway down the page. 😅
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 3mo agoYou don’t have to do this to yourself. There are non-Google options. Kagi is one of rude best search engines I have ever used: kagi.com

Hi, I wrote a blog about drawings falling off pages + facing the Reform fear and I guess, radical hope. Here it is: www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202... Ps the blog has a drawing attached that shows an ink and watercolour sketch of a woman in a beanie hat, sitting on a sofa reading.

I saw my first bee in the garden this morning. So few bees arriving for the buffet we have put on for them, so far, this year. It was a thrill. I said thank you. And also, keep going friend. I extend that wish to you too. Thank you. You are needed. Keep going. It's tough but we can do it. 🐝
I've written about attending @improbable1.bsky.social's Dedicated & Disgruntled gathering last weekend. www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202... It's a love letter. But it's something else too. It's a coming out, a meditation & a prayer. If you read & like it, please share. Thank you x #DandD21

I am getting back on the Blue sky train again. I thank @terri-ann.bsky.social for never giving up on me here. And always pinging out power punches my way (despite my loooong silences). Thank you Terri-Ann ❤️🔥
Rebecca Solnit's essay made me howl rage at inequality AND feel inspired. It lays out the importance of the ecology of resistance. Every act matters. Keep going'The work continues'.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/22/andrew-mountbatten-windsor-epstein-files-trump?CMP=share_btn_url
My sketch a day 2026 challenge (is it a challenge anymore? Is it more a practice that I'm trying to build into a non-negotiable habit?) is well on its way. So far this month has involved a trip to the Lakes and Glasgow (a writing squad adventure, that was fun) and a lot of musical writing.
Dear friends, just a quick ping in to say - my first week or so of the 2026 sketch a day challenge is go. Today's sketch was of a handsome horse. www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202... but there is a sketch for every day of 2026 so far on my blog. If you fancy such things. That's the news x

It simply isn’t true that international issues and local issues are separate.
Yesterday I completed my sketch a day challenge for 2025😀🙏🏻🔥 Today I started all over again. To celebrate I drew some mushrooms growing on a tree. As ever there is a blog post that goes along with this drawing. If you fancy it click this link: www.emmaadamswriter.co.uk/new-blog/202...

Christmas continues into the weird few days before new year. Some years I have to work these. Some years I don't. Whatever, they are some of my fave days of the year. They have a bumbling/low stakes/ expansive quality that brings new ideas and excitements.
Ive LCD Sound System's 'New York I Love you' with alternate lyrics 'bluesky I love you, but I'm forgetful as hell' inside my head as I ping in 2say - I'm writing musical songs in a hotel room in Bradford this weekend with writing partner Josh. Extreme fun. I sketched this to celebrate. Good morning.

Sadly, I don't think solving the problem that needs solving is the problem they want to solve.

The fact that even a rich, famous actor can’t afford cancer treatment in the US is unimaginably fucked up. We HAVE to save our NHS.

Hi #writers #playwrights all of the bluesky fam - just a quick reminder that I am a playwright. I also sketch stuff. I post a sketch with words everyday. Links in my bio. Meanwhile, here is a sketch I did of a village at dusk in #bradford called #micklethwaite. Good afternoon. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Just finding out BBC's Patricia Hidalgo alarmed that UK kids arent engaging with UK tv cos they are focused on US online content. Eons ago when the BBC cut homegrown content the argument was clear.

It turns out that #WolfAlice are great. I thought I didn't like them. I must have been confusing them with a band I don't know the name of, who I actually don't like. That awful, unknown band is, of course, still out there. I discovered my mistake by accident while dusting.
Love this mini thread 👇🏻. I too have music that is so precious I rarely allow myself to listen to it. ❤️
Toby Miller@tobytram.bsky.social · 9mo agoNow listening: Hounds of Love. Which shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s a favourite album. But so precious is it that I’d sealed it away; perhaps only one full listen in the last 15 years. So I downloaded it. And for the first time ever I am listening to The Big Sky whilst walking under a big sky.
