Over on B-*-sky these days. Same handle.
Important not to forget Palestine and those still on the ground, trying to stay safe. Please donate a few quid via map.org.uk or to individual fundraisers, if you can. Cheers.

Largely over on the Sky place these days guys, but please donate to help Sanaa and Sujood get out of Gaza alive. Currently stranded in an impossible and very dangerous situation. Any help is good help. 👇👇
No more bombs. #CeasefireNOW

We are sharing our campaign again to remind you that we still need your help. The path to reach our goal is not too long, but it still requires your support. As I said before, these donations are no longer just helping us with evacuation fees, but are also helping us to live amidst the skyrocketing prices that are impossible to keep up with. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could continue to support me and my family. SHARE, DONATE, AND SPREAD THE Word ✌️

This is upsetting and making me angry as hell. I think I was getting petrol there that same evening. We have to stand up to these c***s and not take a step back. No complacency.

This might be the finest still-life I've ever seen. The level of skill here, especially in regard to depth, is off the charts. Thanks @ahistoryinart

It cost £15 to see Radiohead in 1997.
An equivalent gig in 2024 (Nick Cave) at the *same venue* will cost £69, an increase of over 450%.

And this by Michael Roberts:
'Here again is truth... the long unhurried diligence of childhood, measuring the exact length of a shadow.... with the house dead quiet, and only a blackbird in the garden.'
And me, gazing out of that bedroom window in the fading light.

Last night I was in my childhood bedroom, now the 'office'. My parents have a few books that have sat on a shelf my whole life, perpetually unread.
And suddenly I found this: Eliot, e.e. cummings, Dylan & R S Thomas... they were there all along. Undiscovered. (1/2)

Enjoyed this tale of severe social anxiety and a deep, personal bond with office equipment.
Great narrative voice. Funny, odd, contemplative, drily satirising the emptiness of workplace culture. Would recommend.
