Skeleton Conqueror

Let this last post be Alex Salmond’s epitaph: “Scotland is a country not a county”.

I’m in this article The Guardian about how median author pay has fallen 60% since 2012: theguardian.com/books/2024/oct… What the piece doesn’t get into is *why* author pay has fallen when revenues across publishing are the highest they’ve ever been. So here’s a bit more about that 🧵

Just over a week til #Games #Accessibility conference @GAConf, Oct 28/29th, I'll be there on Zoom/Discord, line up looks great, looking forward to learning more with a welcoming community. Info/tix gaconf.com inc. free digital option #GAconf #GAConfUSA2024 #Gamedev

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the home of Marchmont CC in Scotland

Synth music inspired by Edgar Allen Poe? Avant-garde audio horror? Eerie sound effect compilations? It must be Halloween! daily.bandcamp.com/lists/hallowee…

Brave journalism here. Who else will speak up for the billionaires 😂

Amazing sounding talk coming up at the Edinburgh Futures Institute this Friday 'Video Games: Play and Pedagogy' efi.ed.ac.uk/event/video-ga… for more info, free tickets, inperson or online and fantastic lineup #Edinburgh #Games #History

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the Earth seeking the successive autumns." George Eliot Edwin G. Lucas, Water of Leith Valley and Pentland Hills from Kingsknowe, 1938. City Art Centre, Museums & Galleries Edinburgh.

Last week at their launch event, I spoke on my contributions to the new Map of Scottish Witchcraft, Map of Memorials and Curious Edinburgh History of Witchcraft walking tour! It has been the most amazing opportunity to be able to work on these projects🧙🏼‍♀️ ideal for Halloween exploring🎃

The Holy Grail has been found! We've been sitting on this for a couple of weeks: the BBC Archive contacted us about a clip they'd found in the bowels of the archive and wanted to get our reactions and thoughts... it's the long-lost Nationwide clip about THE HEXHAM HEADS! 1/2

FUN FACT: Did you know the legendary #ZXSPectrum was manufactured in #Dundee? Now you do, get along to the DCA on Nov 24 for the Scottish Premiere of the new #documentary RUBBER KEYED WONDER, which explores the impact & legacy of Speccy on GAMES. scottishgames.net/2024/10/31/rub…

Yes - I'm left scratching my head really. Reminded again that Starmer lacks what New Labour had - some kind of vision, or project. The 'art of politics' seems to have disappeared into an elite culture of anxiety and crisis management.

So I hear the filmmakers behind the new #ZXSpectrum doc would like to have more screenings in #Scotland - since it was actually MADE IN SCOTLAND. So BAFTA Scotland GFT Film City Glasgow Screen Scotland Creative Scotland Film Hub Scotland Film Bang - anyone able to help?
