Was planning on having one friend over for food tonight, now it's 4. Going to make enough curries to feed 10.

Happy World Goth Day. KEXP are doing a good un today: www.kexp.org/playlist/

I just applied to do a paid zine residency, an absolute dream! Fingers crossed for me everyone please 🥺

They should also stop jailing anti-weapons / anti-genocide activists, denying them bail and delaying their trials for years.

I'm increasingly hearing AI is better than a 'real' therapist. The reasons for this seem to be: - always available - (perceived to be) free - makes me feel good - gives instructions - creates useful lists - writes letters/draft emails - tells me what to say - I can be completely open with it /1

Absolutely devouring this very unhinged and filthy book (complementary)

One of our neighbours on the next road has stuck a pool out in the street and I can hear kids diving into it with a splash, it's very cute.

"A Summer Day" by Gerda Wegener, 1927. Wegener's wife, Lili Elbe appears in this painting twice - can you see which two models are the same person?

Just finished this, great book (and very sad)

Just ten years ago the UK was top of the list - the best place in Europe for LGBT rights. We are now 22nd The only country to drop faster in one year than us is Hungary The government needs to act in a major way before this becomes their entire legacy

Free event this weekend in #Chester - I'll be reading at #BooksOnTheWalls #bookshop and playing some #goth tunes afterwards - my books and #zines will also be available to buy! Read more here: ko-fi.com/post/Free-ev... #indieauthor #booksky #horrorbooks #antiai

I've been making my studio more useful and pretty (it still needs a new paint colour though)

I was correct to procrastinate on it because it IS a ballache to update the address on your driver's licence. You want my NI number AND my passport number AND how long I lived at different addresses? I have to go root around the house like a squirrel for info~?

(Just a few of the many) allotment cats 🌱 🌱🇬🇧

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

I spent 7 hours on the allotment yesterday and today I have muscle ache from it. If I ever retrained as a gardener (tempting) I would get so fit.

We only have 26 books left to gift for Trans Day of Nice book! It's been amazing seeing the response to this so far 💖 both from the community coming together to gift books / funds and from the people receiving them. 👉 penfightdistro.com/product-cate...

Emergency extra shelves bought for the window to fit all the seedlings this year. More planting and potting on to come in the next few days. 🌱 🌱🇬🇧

Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. Read the motion below 👇 BMA-wide policy is set at the Annual Representative Meeting (ARM) in June 2025.

Cursing myself of 4 years ago for not keeping my digital files more organised now I have to find something from 2021 🥲 (I am not any better now)

The most recent This American Life episode about how many Palestinian kids are getting shot in the head in the war is absolutely fucking horrific and heartbreaking.

Chain bookstores for the most part probably don't stock many of them either, but will list them on their websites and dropshift from their wholesaler(s). Chain bookshops have massive upper hands when it comes to trade prices and returns.

I love these heart-shaped flowers that have popped up in the garden 🌱 🌱🇬🇧

love that I like starting time-intensive projects that benefit other people but that make me absolutely no money.

Have Labour actually done any good since they got into power or are they just dead set on purely showing how bigoted they are to a wide variety of marginalised people

Spent today today a very traditional bank holiday activities: a lot of DIY. I've got muscle aches from having to use my body in weird ways. I love a physical task though!

Love too have the state make decisions for all about gender

aw I did this design for CALC a few years ago, what a fun project that was. Love seeing it's still being used.
