worse things to view on a Monday morning

The Moon and Venus this eve

useless!

Done more jam mixology

papped some lads enjoying the morning sunshine

Doing a Saturday choir workshop in a very pretty place

Taking my new camera for a spin on an astro shoot

David Duchovny has just hit the second season of Twin Peaks and oh boy. The 90s is a foreign country.

Idk man, this is one of those things making me feel very bleak about the future

I might have to work unpaid overtime but at least I get to dress nice

Literally just that tweet that says liberals are like dogs in that they only comprehend tone but not content

big sunset

Had to explain to a coworker that hens and roosters are both kinds of chicken, just male and female. She is 38 years old.

I would gladly lay down my life for the shark in the Call of Cthulhu keeper handbook

More thoughts on Eleanor Rykener in the BL's #MedievalWomen exhibition. Her inclusion is majorly important, not just because of *her* importance as a beacon of trans visibility in the historical record, but also the current anti-trans environment in the UK & elsewhere

cruel, pointless and shameless in its servility to Trump and US imperialism

The government also want to have their cake and fuck it too for the arts in wanting to sell it out to parasitic tech ghouls, and they've only just annoyed everyone when it would be very easy not to

Nandy & the Starmer project want it both ways - tap into the 'arts for everyone' language formulated as a stick to beat Tory austerity, win liberal/left kudos, but also secure the ideological limits of how the arts are engaged with and financially structured in the interest of capital and state

Wandering around Highgate Cemetery

Post-concert drinks and my first pint since getting the Irish passport is a Guinness as per the law

I bit the bullet and showed my barber a picture of David Lynch, and you know what, close enough. Would need to grow out the hair at the front even longer though.

In better news... I pledge allegiance to the Guinness and to the shamrock 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀🍀🫡🫡🫡

folks he did not get the job

I'll let Raymond Williams have the last word (from 1984) on this trash bit of 'analysis' from More in Common. All left movements and parties are coalitions - giving ground to your political enemies kneecaps any kind of socialist programme before it can cohere newsocialist.org.uk/socialists-a...

'Messages may be inactive or inappropriate' yet they are doing it anyway!! Fuck off!!

Giving my cat unrealistic body standards by showing him pictures of tony the tiger

Every day I become more and more tempted to just show my hairdresser a picture of David Lynch

In this interview, Louis Allday speaks to writer and researcher Patrick Higgins about Syria’s long-standing and complicated relationship with the Palestinian cause, its opposition to Zionism, and relationship with imperialism. www.ebb-magazine.com/essays/secta...

This morning's sunrise

Saw a guy with an bizarre fit on the tube this morning (grey pinstripe trousers, black fleece jacket, orange bomber vest, white trainers), which goes to show you can really just wear anything and nobody will stop you

the fact that white supremacist and fascist Douglas Murray is treated with any sort of respectability, let alone various column, interviews etc, is one of the most damning indictment of our media sphere imo
