If you're a TERF you're a gender fascist. No other way to spin it. You claim your ideology is about protecting women and children but what it actually necessitates is an overfixation on people's genitals and the persecution of a minority group that does not actually hold institutional power. You insist on fitting humanity into two strict boxes that do not reflect the true diversity present among 8 billion of us. The moment you start talking about "large gametes"--what the fuck are you doing?

All fascists cloak their actions in protective language. But unless you're going after the white male billionaire class that actually holds the most power and does the most harm to both humanity and the planet, you're not protecting anyone and your "resistance" is not worth anything.

It seems that your cheap phones are not a god given right but actually a luxury sustained by imperialist inequality after all. Mirá vos.

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

A Curiosity of Uncertainty | Carl Bigmore

‘A Curiosity of Uncertainty’ is a photobook and album inspired by, and made in, the Torridon Hills of the Scottish Highlands. The images and music explore the engulfing nature of the various mountain ranges in the area and their hallucinatory effect. As the tumultuous winter weather ceaselessly shifts, exploring these places can become disorienting in the most liberating sense. Caught within the grips of the elements there is a journey within the mountain beyond its surface...

“So simply to look on anything, such as a mountain, with the love that penetrates to its essence, is to widen the domain of being in the vastness of non-being. Man has no other reason for his existence.”

The Living Mountain, Nan Shepherd

The book incorporates Gaelic place names for some of the locations that have been photographed. These place names reveal an intimacy with the landscape that speaks to the deep connection local people have fostered with this land over centuries. While doing this research I found that some place names remain untranslated, for these places they become referred to as “a curiosity of uncertainty”. The idea that some locations remain a mystery resonated with how I feel about the landscape here. Geologically it is some of the oldest rock in the world (around 2 billion years old) and the weight of ancient time seems to seep from the earth. It is a landscape that humbles with its reframing of time and place.

In the summer of 2023, I found myself living on the edges of the Torridon Hills in a converted Portakabin. Using a mixture of field recordings, midi synth and a £30 nylon stringed guitar I spent the long summer days recording the 8 tracks that make up the album. They are ambient, meditative and melodic.

When combined the book and album come close to capturing the inexhaustible and beguiling effect this landscape has on my little passing consciousness.
