Scottish, not British. Writer and #Zen #Buddhist monk. Religious, not spiritual. Author of more than a dozen books under the pen name Barry Graham. Returned to my native Glasgow in 2017, after 22 years in America. Green socialist, Scottish independence supporter (but not a nationalist). Urban walker. One of "the screeching voices of the minority."

“A principal rule for writers, and especially those who want to describe their own sensations, is not to believe that their doing so indicates they possess a special disposition of nature in this respect. Others can perhaps do it just as well as you can. Only they do not make a business of it, because it seems to them silly to publicise such things.”
—Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

But without strong encryption, children are more vulnerable online than ever.

France's data protection authority has given Google and Facebook three months to make it as easy to refuse cookies as it is to accept them. Great work from the @cnil in chasing down "dark patterns."

I was struck today by what a science-fiction world we live in, as I sat in #meditation in Glasgow along with people in Chicago and Ann Abor.

My most recent piece ‘An Féar Gortach’ / The Hungry Grass based on the old Irish folklore. A cursed patch of grass, that caused an insatiable sense of hunger and weariness upon anyone who walked over it. Some folk took small pieces of bread in their pockets in case they stood on the hungry grass. #irishfolklore #folklore #irishart #irishartist #illustration #folkhorror #irishillustrator
