I've started sharing some of my own photography over on my Instagram, after years of feeling inadequate or disconnected to my own work. I think I'm finally turning a corner in that regard. Would love peoples feedback: instagram.com/michael__sarge…

Amazing that Talk Radio: 1) Voluntarily chose to put this out. 2) Apparently believed this made the guest, rather than the host, look bad.

Three lads who were brilliant all summer had the courage to step up & take a pen when the stakes were high. They deserve support & backing not the vile racist abuse they’ve had since last night. If you abuse anyone on social media you’re not an @England fan and we don’t want you.

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media. It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

Denmark's players had to form a protective ring around their teammate. A distraught wife was broadcast to the world. TV broadcasters and cameramen are capable of blocking footage of pitch invaders, but not this? Sorry, that is not ok.

Photo people: If we created an online community space that existed off of FB, would you join us? It's easy to say you would but I wonder if the FB allure/addiction is too strong. What would make an alternative appealing enough to join? (Please RT so more people can see this)

.@RishiSunak these are just some of the tasks/expenditure in making an independent album. 30+ people (artists and media professionals) received income. 15+ businesses traded together. Countless tasks done myself, self-taught over 20 years. And I am small-time w/ other job. #Sunak

I let a tape machine gather dust and let tapes warp, and when I recorded a synth onto them some strange things happened with time, and I imagined the motion of a string orchestra soothing the broken machine and giving the desolate sound a sort of hope...

Great to see @HectorBellerin and @MarcusRashford setting such a strong example within football. It's good to see these folks using their platform to champion positive social change. ✨

Losing your 'buzz' for something that’s been so integral to your creative and professional life is a real struggle. Has any one else experienced this?

Digital art collective @teamLab_net opens a space for immersive light Installations in the Netherlands. “Through art, we believe that the notion of ‘beautiful’ expands and spreads, which changes people’s perceptions of the world.” See more with @artnet: bit.ly/2YyeDjm

The @Lewis__Bush workshops I attended were a revelation (not to mention affordable) & delivered in a down to earth way. The depth of information and direction blew me away. If you have been to workshops that leave you wondering why you paid so much money to begin. Try these.
Massive thanks to everyone who has done a workshop this year, you've literally helped me keep a roof over my head. I'm taking a break now, probably back in 2021. You can sign up to hear first about future workshop dates here: eepurl.com/gJ2Cwz

.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.” @realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.” Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
