The more that AI promises to do the work of reading, summarising and composing for us, the more I’m searching for signs of human writing. That’s what this hashtag is to me: respecting the effort and craft and all the signs of life, the writer’s own handprint.

It’s the moment where you see the palm shape of the potter in the pot, the typo, the irregularity in the quilt. I once saw a boot print in paint on the margin of a huge Pollock canvas and I’ve never forgotten it. I think we can see it in digital writing too.

#WordsWorthWriting

Thinking of the #FemedTech quilters especially @francesbell but also remembering being inspired by the quilt bloggers at the early Northern Voices conferences.

Times are demanding even more acts of protest. Get the craftworks going.
