I listen to a ton of podcasts of all shapes and sizes, and Stakeknife is one of the most brilliant. It's not an easy listen at many points, but it tells a vitally important story in UK and Irish history in a sensitive, respectful and engaging way, with a ton of nuance and context. 10/10

I'm running a creative writing workshop - 'Thorpe Marsh Apocalypse' - on Saturday 19th April at the feralising site of Thorpe Marsh Power Station, Doncaster. Details here: www.facebook.com/events/85316... Tickets go on sale on Monday - available via the Eventbrite link in the following comment.
New blog! Tip Trip Triptych. Say it five times fast.
This offer of free gallery/studio space in the old Hillsborough Wilko's in Sheffield is far too big in scale and scope for my brain, but I'm intrigued to see what happens. Please share with creative/artistic parties!
I've been lucky enough to start the year doing Pattern Club's (@patternclubsheff.bsky.social) Winter School. Last weekend, we got familiar with strudel.cc/ & Carnatic rhythms, and this weekend, incredibly, we learnt about Flamenco and made weird robots! (Pencil case = a weight!)
If you're into music or coding (or both!), I highly recommend taking a look at Strudel, which is designed to be as accessible as possible. It's in-browser and has learning resources built into it so you can start making music immediately: strudel.cc/workshop/getting-started/
If this is up your street, be sure to subscribe to Pattern Club's mailing list & visit their site to find out more: patternclub.org/sheffield/ They've had workshops on Strudel, synths and all sorts of algorithm- and pattern-related things. They also host Algoraves and other live-coding events 💻 🎶

Fantastic hilariously terrible robots:

When a previous iceberg threatened the island in late 2020, my ignorance of what and where South Georgia is took me down an amazing rabbit hole: jessghost.com/home/south-georgia
