Woke bluestocking midlife PhD student. Neurodivergent. Quite sweary. Almost certainly not a witch.

Brexit is still bobbins, obviously.

Veterinary type in (partial) recovery. Gardener, smallholder, and keeper of woodland. Frequently a greedy sod and (consequently) a decent cook.

Creative. Writer. Crafter. Reader. Geek. Eternally curious awkward type.

Come for the photos of Cornwall, food, dogs and livestock. Stay for the rest of the madness.

For your collective delectation this holiday season:

Quite possibly the silliest thing I've ever written (and definitely the most ridiculous graph I’ve ever made)!

[And If you've enjoyed this piece of seasonal silliness (and, critically, have a few quid to spare) I'd be grateful if you popped them in the hat:

As some of you know I've been slowly developing my work in traditional letterpress this year. I know it's much to early for anyone sensible to be thinking about Christmas cards but just in case - if you'd like to pre-order these, shipping in November, they're on my Ko-Fi store here:

About sewing, except it isn’t. Look, I can’t explain, you’ll just have to read it…

Longer than planned summer break but it's time to be back with new writing. (Your shares are appreciated!)

@rosamundi@mastodon.world @cabd@toot.bike I genuinely don’t understand what someone who publishes something like that is thinking. Could they genuinely believe the “AI knowledge” is more accurate?? But if so why conceal it’s AI generated?

@reneestephen@mastodon.social @joeblubaugh@hachyderm.io I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I think the chances of a system as complex as Twitter having at least one set of circular dependencies is basically nailed-on. It just depends how critical a system they’re in.
