Lovely day pottering round the local area for #YorkOpenStudios , visiting artists and makers in their homes, treating myself to some new art, and discovering 'Lapin', a fab little cafe tucked away in South Bank.
Posting to boost YorkOpenStudios, which is a genuinely lovely event.

In this bin-fire of a site, this inspired me enough to post. Ian Eagleton wrote a fab book, 'Glitter Boy', about a boy who dares to be different, but faces LGBTQ+-based bullying. He loves to sing & dance to Mariah Carey.
Mariah saw the book, loved it, and tweeted about it.

I look at X and wonder whether I would have joined it now (if I wasn't already a user). The answer is no. Combined with the fact I am going through difficult personal times, I suspect that in future, you will hear less from me. I'll still sometimes be here, but semi-detached.

Chilling with my bestie.

Just finished the spectacularly good 'Dark Eden' trilogy by Chris Beckett. It tells the story of what happens in the years after two astronauts are marooned on a dark distant planet. It has so much insight into society & our own history - must-read sci-fi.
