It is capital H HOT today in London and my greatest desire is the feeling of ocean waves crashing against my calves and fresh calamari and perhaps even an ice cream that drizzles down my forearm so I have to lick it up and taste the sun that's in my skin alongside it

I've been under the weather this week, so my partner bought me flowers to brighten up my room. Coral peonies, because when they open they smell lovely, and because they symbolise elegance, good fortune and strong relationships - happiness and abundance!

An absolute delight to get to see Willi Carlisle (accompanied by Sophie Mae Wellington) perform in London last night. I love folk music, love the twang of a banjo, the smooth hum of the fiddle while Sophie danced, a very full body experience

Pride month is a corporate marketing scam, now we are subjected to endless vapidity to buy buy buy into a community that is a sham. Of course, we can create communal possibility, but it will never be behind the sweatshop-produced rainbow flag or target-marketed Pride parades. Let's get creative.

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain needs a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily need universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

Fiona Apple has released a new song, using her platform to draw attention to the injustice of the US court system regarding bail money, deliberately focusing on how it affects Black women. You can look up the song but here's the direct donation link to the organisation: givebutter.com/s9WDXn

Turns out when you finish working on a big time&brain occupying project, the new freed up space allows you to do other things, in my case no more film festival planning means I've written 1119 words of a short story

Feeling the absence of purpose now that the film festival has passed, it is wonderful to work towards something for so long and have it go well but the shape of it is still inside me though it no longer needs attention

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

To achieve legal and/or medical transition in the UK, people are REQUIRED to live IN PUBLIC in their preferred gender, FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS. Or they will be refused support. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND that doing that is being made ILLEGAL? CAN YOU UNDERSTAND that it's making BEING TRANS illegal?
