Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.
Fun in the sun. Henderson Row in Edinburgh #secretedinburgh
A sunlit scene of an old blue upholstered wing chair sitting on a doorstep (stoop) planted up with dozens of pretty little succulant plants and cactus. They embellish the chair like jewels. 2 large spikey aloes dominate the seat. Another planter of similar plants sits to the right and front with a simple carved head painted white, protruding on a stick. Its long white hair perhaps made of string or straw. Its eyes, one blue. Picasso like... uneven. Full pouty lips. A huge and strikingly blue planter (with more aloes in it) and a brown wicker armchair behind the wingchair give it definition. Parlour palms, a piece of trellis, glass side windows, brass plate, and wrought iron railings typical of architecture in Edinburgh's Newtown provide an opulent backdrop
Come on up and grab a seat! A much photo'd wingchair on an Edinburgh stoop. Henderson Row

It's Monday again and today I'm reading Art on My Mind by bell hooks

Finding Dora Maar: an artist, an address book, a life. Brigitte Benkemoun. An incredible coincidence turned into the most exquisite detective story
Just started The Reader on the 6.27 by Jean-Paul Didierlaurent. At page three and boding well 🙂
Tweet from user '@quadcarl_carl' reads, "Imagine being afraid of diversity but not a dictatorship."
Here is where MAGA has gotten us to.
UNAMERICAN BROADCASTING - EP174 was full of intrigue, plot twists, red herrings & more than the odd banger...

Hi!
A close shot of a Sycamore bud, popped into clusters of little, starry, vivid-yellow flowers speaks, nay screams, "Spring!" A glossy, unpopped brown bud waits left of shot. Photographed beside the Water of Leith
These tiny, zingy sycamore flowers scream,"Spring has sprung!" to me. Down by the Water of Leith

This is an eye catching shopfront at a bus stop near Haymarket Edinburgh for many reasons. I'm not sure why the sign in the window suggests it could ever be mistaken for a public toilet though 😅
A view of the Charlotte Chapel clock tower on Edinburgh's Shandwick place, taken from upstairs on a passing bus. Zoom in to the clock where 'the big hand' has clearly timed out, curled over, and it droops wearily down over its face
A very sorry sight indeed. The big hand on Charlotte Chapel's magnificent clock on Edinburgh's Shandwick Place has timed out. Had enough... or just resting?

Close detail of gilded pub signage saying Wines, Spirits on an amber coloured wooden pub front. Inset in two partially visible, ornate wooden arches are some obviously aged lead framed, stained glass window panels. The carved amber wood that surrounds the windows is eyecatching
Edinburgh Haymarket... Ryries... for as long as I can remember ❤️ #secretedinburgh
