I’ve gotten quite a few messages from disabled people who benefit from AI in the same way I do but feel unable to admit to it because they are scared of backlash.

I will start by saying I understand concerns about AI, they are real. AI is energy intensive, data centres use water, a resource that is already scarce in many places, and the companies behind these products are unethical in so many ways.

On the BAFTAs

I understand that years of media conditioning have trained us to reach for polarised, black and white opinions, but what happened at the BAFTAs is not well served by outrage or by denial. I remind you that two things can be true at once.

The Wuthering Heights people remember is not the book Emily Brontë wrote. I read it just in time for the release of Emerald Fennell’s adaptation. She has said Wuthering Heights left its greatest impression on her at 14. Here’s my interpretation at 41, feeling world weary & no longer susceptible to the charms of beautiful men who behave badly. It turns out it isn’t really about love at all, but about inheritance, race & power. https://kristiedegaris.substack.com/p/wuthering-heights #Books #Scotland #Writing #UK #Reading

I’m lying here in the dark, waiting for the sun to rise and thinking about the Fortingall yew.

Experts place its age at around 5,000 years old. A path leads towards it, and along the way, stones mark the events in human history that it has seen. It’s seen a lot. Too much, maybe. It looks tired.

And yet stones are not remembered this way, though they have seen more.

@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot Kristie, thanks for sharing this. I will read it, but I’m also going to ask if you’ll abandon Substack. It’s run by folks who support Nazi’s and there’s plenty of article

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe There is honestly something terrible wrong with those who run every platform that is free to write on. I was on Ghost for ages which is brilliant and ethical but as subscribers grew it was costing me more and more when I was earning nothing. And not just earning nothing from writing articles, I earned £2500 total for my book (this was the advance) for over 3 years of work. I get paid £1 or less per copy of my book sold (this is pretty standard) and it's unlikely I will ever earn out.

As I have been fully focused on the book, I’ve let photography fade a little into the background, but it was my first great love and I can’t wait to get back to it. Here’s is a 35mm film image that captures some of the magic in the Tomnah’a polytunnels. #Photography #FilmPhotography #35mm #Scotland #FilmIsNotDead #BelieveInFilm #Flowers
