When it comes to living a collective life, the fewer people who stubbornly believe they’re right the better off we will be. Radicals are people who have attached to an idea because it makes sense to them, without ever asking others if it makes sense. Discussing, listening, asking why not, asking why it makes sense,ContinueContinue reading “A Better Kind of Radical”

Clarence: On Musk and Toddlers
So civil war is inevitable is it? Everyone is scoffing. Have you watched the news? The far right are deliberately using the terrible attack in Southport to destabilise the country, whilst their highly concerned leader sits on his sun bed abroad, quaffing alcohol, deeply thrilled by it all. What is the benefit of tearing societyContinueContinue reading “Clarence: On Musk and Toddlers”
No Idea
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Never been anywhere fancy but then I’m not a foodie. I do eat expensive chocolate though but I don’t think that counts. I also don’t think I could be bothered to go out for an expensive meal. I’ve never been aContinueContinue reading “No Idea”
People of Colour
This is a very difficult thing for a white person to write, and yet as a person who believes that we’re all animated by the same energy, and skin colour is nothing more than gift wrap, I feel it’s important that it’s said. Imagine If a speaker stood on a stage to speak to aContinueContinue reading “People of Colour”
Just for a Laugh
Life is very serious at the moment in many countries, so I’m dedicating myself to sharing as much fun as I can. Here is my first offering from a US Government site: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/resources/humor/funny-headlines/ I thought it would particularly appeal to writers to remind us that clarity can be tricky. Actually a good reminder for anyone.ContinueContinue reading “Just for a Laugh”
I Do NOT Have the Time!
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. Firstly, what do you call interesting? As far as I’m concerned war and violence are entirely uninteresting to the point they should not exist. That’s the highest level of uninteresting. Politicians lying to our faces and usContinueContinue reading “I Do NOT Have the Time!”
Clarence: An odd reaction
Obviously I’ve been watching the fallout after the terrible atrocity in Southport. It’s been horrific hasn’t it?! You can’t quite take it in, not in the UK. At first I was very depressed and very angry, I’m sure you know that feeling. Such a disgusting reaction to an awful tragedy. But of course that’s justContinueContinue reading “Clarence: An odd reaction”

Quick Inspiration: Zero
If you have £1/1$/1€/1¥ and so on, you have very little. If you add a zero you have ten times that amount, if you add six zeroes you’re a millionaire. It’s always struck me as odd that a zero adds the greatest value. That it’s one more penny, cent, etc., that takes you from hundredsContinueContinue reading “Quick Inspiration: Zero”
Quick Inspiration: A fresh thought!
It’s been suggested that I can create inspiration out of thin air. So here it is: Fresh Spring or Mountain air is easy and wonderful to breathe in. Dense, hot, humid air, is like trying to suck in a beef flavoured marshmallow! Water, as in the humidity, represents emotion. The wrong emotional training and attitudesContinueContinue reading “Quick Inspiration: A fresh thought!”
