UK bands from the 80s all have bios like: "The group met at a government-funded arts mixer where they each received six months' rent tax-free" while for bands from the 2020s they're like "formed as a final year project at Goldsmiths, their first release was funded by interest from their trust funds"

the thing no one tells you is that formal wear doesn't have to cause physical discomfort and no one can actually stop you leaving the function at a time of your choosing. tune in for more life hacks with chlo next time.

After *far too long* on my TBR, I finished Birding (pictured with Bodie having a good old book sniff) by @regretteruane.bsky.social in one intense sitting and I feel changed as a person. What a gorgeously written, quietly devastating novel. I'll be recommending this one until my voice goes hoarse 🫡

Here's some lore for you - I wrote my first poem at preschool. It was about knitting needles. I could not spell "knitting" and nobody could work out who'd told the toddler what a poem was in the first place🤔 #AskAnAuthor

snaffled an exquisite metallic Biba purse in Oxfam today and I've opened it up to find an ancient looking key and no card holder section - is this *vintage vintage* 🤔

how's your day going, Bodie had to go to the vet for a scale and polish and one of his teeth fell out in the process

I am horribly flashed back, given general context, to Winifred Holtby writing in 1934 in Women and a Changing Civilisation: 'The pendulum is swinging backwards, not only against feminism, but against democracy, liberty, and reason, against international co-operation and political tolerance'.

shout-out to the jokers who ripped out all the lovely thick wooden panels the Victorians would have put around the window frame and instead just shoved cheap thin board and wallpaper in there instead - no wonder this room gets so draughty

Without me constantly shouting about my debut novel, The Great Orme, it's voiceless. I don't have marketing teams or legions of fans. I've got me, my great little indie publisher and, if I'm lucky, a handful of friends. So if you see this, please share & join me on the slide 🖤

last time we had renovation work done, we found newspapers from the 1970s stuffed in the window cavities. just cute retro cowboy builder things, right? well today the spare room's wonky plasterboard yielded scrunched up newspaper sheets from TWENTY ELEVEN which is not cute actually
