A Quiet Riot With Words & Art

Sometime around now

Finding beauty

HonestInk,

A few weeks ago I found a sweet chestnut tree. It’s hidden in a quiet corner of the cemetery. I came across it as I was following the untouched blackberry bushes and stuffing huge ones in my mouth two or three at a time. Noah hates me eating blackberries. I’m…

The new caravan park

HonestInk,

I simply couldn’t resist it. Writing a few words about the sneaky landgrab on my local facebook group, it didn’t take long before it kicked off bigtime. The main guy that commented admitted it was him and that he had ‘reclaimed’ unused land in another area of town and made…

Apps and online help and general fuckwittery

HonestInk,

Apps. I want to talk about apps. The little irritating junky things they want you to download onto your phone to access everything from a prescription to a service provider. Designed for the young and flexibly fingered. And perfectly sighted. I’m computer literate. I have a tower pc in to…

misogyny

Transphobic and proud

HonestInk,

So this week we’ve had a result for British women. Real women not ones with a cock and balls I might add. The supreme court and five judges had to declare what a woman was which has to be the biggest pisstake out of women yet in the whole of…

Spring equinox

HonestInk,

As I’ve got older I’ve found that this is my favourite time of the year. Tomorrow is the Spring equinox and also Ostara- the Pagan celebration of Spring. Everything is coming back to life as Mother earth wakes the land with the promise of sunshine and warmth. A renewal and…

TikTok dross

HonestInk,

I’ve recently taken to having the occasional look at TikTok. Having an online business it’s apparently best to embrace all the various online platforms to advertise oneself. Being just inside the Boomer generation and the era of three tv channels, illegal botty sex and the last UK execution by hanging…

Generative AI

This is the future : part 1

HonestInk,

I’m currently obsessed with generative AI and where it’s going. It’s mind blowing and fantastic but I want to start at my own beginning I remember sat at the bottom of the stairs on the telephone because that was as far as the line reached from the wall. I remember…

Killing Bill

Killing Bills

HonestInk,

I am sick to my stomach. Sometimes I think I’ve heard it all, but no. Can you imagine being told by the police that your husband has been drugging and raping you for a very long time and that also you’ve been raped by about 72 strangers? Nah this is…

Little girls’ deaths…

HonestInk,

So in this week’s news we have a young man stabbing to death three children, with several more in critical condition. Creating a hell on earth no children should ever have to endure especially in our little British Isles. Then we have a stalwart of the BBC, a newsreader, a…

Rape, rape and more rape

HonestInk,

”We’re scared to go out at night alone and short skirts mean unwanted sexual attention: Parisian women reveal safety fears after gang-rape of Australian tourist and say sex attack is ‘catastrophic’ to France’s image days before Olympics” – Daily mail 23 July 2024. Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing changes…
