I'm going to say it... This is Pulp isn't it?

Your favorite 2000s indie band on their 2025 reunion tour

Forcing autistic people to make eye contact is abusive. We need a society that works for autistic people, not the other way around.

I mean...do we even have a choice?

Me today, but also that deer that attacked that person

decades-long manhunt finally ends

This is next Sunday! Two great headline poets, one splendid pub, three enthusiastic pandemonialists, endless cheese & onion cobs... and you! 😎

Farage is claiming ReformUK "really are now the party of working people". So why do they want to block access to cheaper renewable energy? Onshore & offshore wind with large-scale solar power are by far the cheapest ways to generate electricity in this country writes Prof Richard Murphy 👇

All you need to do this is someone in Parliament on any side who doesn't have any dodgy connections themselves. Anyone want to step up? #NoIAmNotDefendingTheTwatFarage

Really enjoyed chatting to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social on the Blindboy Podcast. We spoke about Thatcher, the power of art, and Palestine. Good craic! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

Sad news coming out of Liverpool. Let's hope everyone is as well as can be. Please don't share footage, please don't speculate. Let the relevant services do their job.

If you're stuck for something to do this bank holiday weekend why don't you write a poem and enter it for the Ironbridge Poetry Comp. It closes on Monday. pandemonialists.co.uk/ironbridge-p...

Last night, @pandemonialists.bsky.social hosted another helping of PASTA, with a first half theme of 'wheels'. None of PPP had actually got round to writing a poem, so I thought I'd best give it a go, and came up with this. It'll do.

The left needs a Joe Rogan who is 300 feet tall and plays a tiny little fiddle. And when he gets angry he huffs and puffs but he's calmed down by a good friend who is a regular-sized elephant but looks teeny by comparison. Just absolutely itsy bitsy. And both of them are extremely anti-circumcision.

Just one week till the next helping of PASTA!! 😎

In two weeks time, we welcome the incredible and hard-working @martinfigura.bsky.social and @helenivory.bsky.social to Yes We Cant. Open-mic spots available in advance (and on the door on the night) so get in touch if you want one. 😊

Thanks to BBC online for sharing news about the Midlands Fringe. 😊 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Woooo. Only gone and got some funding from Arts Council England to put on a Midlands Fringe. Looking for shows now! Here's a bit more information... pandemonialists.co.uk/blog/

You've just one week left to get your entries in for this year's Ironbridge Festival poetry competition... #TickTock pandemonialists.co.uk/ironbridge-p...

Today is one of those days I wish I was neurotypical. I wish I could explain myself, or more accurately, didn't have to explain myself. #LivingWithAutism #Autism

I had a lovely time in Ely. What a great bunch they are at Fen Speak. I loved the open mic performances. It was also great to bump into @robinince.bsky.social on the high street earlier in the day :) I hope your book signing and performance went well, Robin.

Well now I’ve seen everything! 😳 🍄

That's how you do it

Diolch yn fawr (GRMA) to the over 100 Welsh artists who released this statement today. 🙏🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 "Kneecap’s activism is not the story we should focus on, the real story is the slaughter in Gaza and the West Bank." nation.cymru/culture/over...

Thank God for that.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

In the infinite variety of human existence there’s gotta be someone out there who doesn’t get music stuck in their head, has no clue what an ear-worm is, and finds the concept completely alien when people talk about it. It’s maybe not even uncommon!

The Israeli authorities have illegally banned all aid and goods into Gaza for two months. This constitutes a genocidal act, a blatant form of unlawful collective punishment, and the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
