No one tells you that being in a band is just typing the words “link in bio” till you die

Being trans in a refugee camp in Sudan means carrying fear, pain, and hope all at once. We are human beings searching for safety, dignity, food, medicine, and a place where we can exist without fear. Behind every smile is a story of survival. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ #TransRights #Refugees #LGBTQ”

deepest condolences to all friends, family and bandmates of Gregg Foreman

That experience changed my personality type on the spot. From extrovert to introvert till this day. I had never suffered depression prior, I went from an overconfident girl to a depressed woman. I became numb and have remained numb. I wish I’d never been sent there to school.

@funkentechno I’d second all those shops near SOTU and include Third Man Records which is also in the area on Marshall St (limited to releases on that label but a wide range of stuff) and Rough Trade Vintage is located downstairs in the Rag & Bone store just round the corner from TMR

@Pas2 last time there I meant to get to the other nearby shops but I only had one afternoon free and spent it all in Sounds of the Universe lol

hey I'm going to be in the UK again starting next week and I'm going to do some record shopping. last time through London I only made it to Sounds of the Universe, so I'd love some recommendations on other shops to hit while I'm in town!

@charliexxx Happy belated birthday!

it’s my birthday and i’ve accepted the amount of work i’ve done on earth is enough therefore i’m not freaking out this year

happy international trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

"Britain has decided that the girl who fought the Taliban’s agenda, who learned English in secret, who turned down a forced marriage, who won her place, is an asylum risk. Her name is Bahar. She is 18 years old. She did everything we asked of her." independent.co.uk/news/people/ne…

Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY. "I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means." "Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation." "That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless." "And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation." "They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity." "You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe." - Jayme Lawson

Maxine Peake, Ncuti Gatwa, Thandiwe Newton and Danny Sapani have been cast in Michaela Coel’s ‘FIRST DAY ON EARTH.’ Coel will write, star and serve as an executive producer on the series. British-Ghanaian novelist Henri (Coel) is on the run – from herself, her life, her partner, and that weird guy at her book talk. When she ends up in Ghana, her ancestral homeland, she finds herself submerged in an altogether different world. Amidst new friends, fresh joy, and many different and nuanced relationships, Henri also finds secrets, lies, difficulty and denial - leading her to question everything about herself, her heritage and her family.
