James Partridge @ Changing Faces. Changing the way we all face disfigurement. Skip to primary content. 8216;Ugly’ is offensive and facist, and should be banned. July 23, 2015. I have been greatly saddened this week to see a word which I consider to be so offensive that it should be consigned to the dustbin of history, ‘ugly’, being used in two mainstream contexts. The Ugly Face Of Disability Hate Crime. The show as featured on the BBC Three website. It’s not the first time this company has used this tack...

Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Thursday, April 30, 2015. THUMBNAIL THURSDAY ACTUALLY POSTS A GOOD ONE. Another one from the 'completed' files, and I actually like this one. I think I get it just about right. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Would you believe he came out well. He had a bright inquiring mind. His family knew that he'd go far. If he applied his time. But he started out standing on corners. And talking out loud, too loud. You see he couldn't believe in himself or the world. Article...

The Battersblog: FETISH FRIDAY: STEPHEN DEDMAN
http://battersblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/fetish-friday-stephen-dedman.html
Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Friday, May 01, 2015. FETISH FRIDAY: STEPHEN DEDMAN. This week, we present one of my very good friends, author of several fantastic novels, teacher, academic, and short story machine. Confession time: I don’t have a fetish. That is, I don’t just have one fetish; I have several. More than a talismonger in a Shadowrun. Novel More than the House of Lords. More than a national furry convention… okay, maybe not that. Many, but you get the idea. Are you a creative artist?

The Battersblog: IF THIS POST IS LATE IT'S BECAUSE I'M STILL ON BALI TIME
http://battersblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/if-this-post-is-late-its-because-im.html
Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Monday, April 20, 2015. IF THIS POST IS LATE IT'S BECAUSE I'M STILL ON BALI TIME. You'll have to forgive me if I seem distracted: two weeks ago I was standing at the bottom of a forty-foot gorge, having clambered a hundred feet upstream to stand at the base of a fifty-foot high waterfall, halfway up a mountain in the middle of an Indonesian island. By which I mean, I was in Bali. The view from the entrance to our villa. Staying away from the plastic FcknOZYEAH! The r...

Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Thursday, May 14, 2015. THUMBNAIL THURSDAY CAN'T ALWAYS BE A WINNER. Bad jokes badly told. That's the Thumbnail Thursday promise. Even so, I feel the need to apologise for this one. Even Dick Emery would have turned this one down. Disadvantages of a paperless office. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Battersblog: A LITTLE LATE-NIGHT POETRY FOR THE HELL OF IT
http://battersblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-little-late-night-poetry-for-hell-of.html
Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Sunday, May 17, 2015. A LITTLE LATE-NIGHT POETRY FOR THE HELL OF IT. So I'm taking over an hour of the Rockingham Writers Centre Tuesday Night writing group this week to throw some poetry exercises about, and to get people warmed up I've asked group members to write a poem starting "What good is a day.". What good is a day that ends in apocalypse? What good is a day without you? What good is the end of the world with no witnesses? What good is a singular view? But he...

The Battersblog: A COMPASS THAT DOESN'T WORK MAKES ME THE WORST PIRATE I'VE EVER SEEN
http://battersblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-parakeet-and-mermaid-matisse-1952.html
Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Sunday, April 26, 2015. A COMPASS THAT DOESN'T WORK MAKES ME THE WORST PIRATE I'VE EVER SEEN. The Parakeet and the Mermaid. All my life I've been fascinated by polymaths. I surround myself with their works: Spike Milligan, David Bowie, Reg Mombassa, David Hockney. I analyse their achievements, envy their success, yearn for their facility. Or maybe I'm just full of shit. Detail) Stained glass, Chapel of the Rosary, Vence. Matisse, 1948-51.

Lee Battersby: Half Man, Half Writer. Friday, May 08, 2015. FETISH FRIDAY: KIM WILKINS. This week, we say a hearty hello to Queensland author, academic, golden child and all-round Queen of Pleasantness, Doctor Kim Wilkins:. For me, it's tea. I know writers are supposed to love coffee, but I can't stand the taste of it and it gives me the jitters. But I have never sat down to write without a cup of tea beside me.
