@masoncoxx.bsky.social All the best for the next, exciting chapter at Freo. As sad as I was for you to leave Collingwood (my son and I watched you playing in Vic Park days and I was there at the G for your first goal on ANZAC Day and to watch you flag-draped in 2023). Much respect and luv from Japan
@limdarrenj.bsky.social Hi Darren, Alex Barker here as my BlueSky alter-ego (I refuse to pay for Twitter..).. Massive congratulations on the nod from none other than Rory Stewart (Rest is Politics 21st Jan, 46’43)! Very chuffed for you and hope there is a massive international boost to listeners!
No, just for emotional guidance..
In hindsight I might have turned it from haiku to tanka poetry that way, but I’d need a lot more Grey Ajah starting with ‘Mel-‘ and a lot more emojis. Of those two, I’m less convinced there’s enough of the latter..
~WOTtober’25~
And thus ‘tis complete,
twilight season turning, yet
there are no endings.

Was hoping that would be the case- had me imagining the soundtrack for Singhol would just be reimagined Metallica-covers with medieval instruments- works with the costuming!

Well done Jess, it came out so well! I feel privileged to have seen the outline in the Stedding as insight into the finished version- great colour choices too!
Oooh -this is sinister- echoes of childhood Bambi-scarring!
Love the dark-light contrast and the looming, subtle dominant presence.. excellent choices and execution!
