I'm a crepuscular poet who drifts between phases irregularly, carried by an unrequited romance with the Moon. If you create something that's the right shape, poetry may fall out of me.

In reality I'm a British European in southern England who marinaded in Scotland and the Westcountry.

I occasionally post photos on my Pixelfed account at https://metapixl.com/@wordsmith

I will gladly accept more poetry.

Going to do a listening party for the new Convair EP, "Longing Heart of the North Star". It will be next Thursday at 10 PM UTC (aka 6 PM EDT or 2 PM AKDT). I'll be using Bandcamp's built in listening party hosting so sadly there won't be any fun video to go along with it, but I really didn't want to use YouTube for this. I'll throw up a more official post soon.

Saw two Lyrid meteors tonight. One was as small as an eyelash in the sky but still a little beauty.
I caught up on Black Mirror and shouldn't have bothered. Once it went to netflix it really did crater. The only moral I found in the later episodes is "don't bother watching shallow crap from these people". The entire point of the show was the message. It went from Banksy to that graffiti of a thuggish teddy bear on the wall of a shop in town, in an attempt at a Banksy. The speech bubble reads "What you looking at?". I'd rather see the brickwork.
Phone: napreading
me: not right now, but good phone.

Hey! Do you do animation?

Can I hire you to animate a scene featuring one of our original characters to promote the upcoming release of a new toy line?

If you really want to "democratize art," give massive funding to arts programs. I should be able to apply for a grant to realize the idea I just had for a big band/crooner type song about being a werewolf. The money should hire actual musicians who can make a living doing niche silliness like this.

Another reason to add to the list at https://leavesubstack.com/ : Promoting Andrew Tate as their #1 bestseller.
