We’ve got a club show this Sunday in north London. Always a brilliant standard of youth and senior boxers. Get yourselves along. (and if you’re anywhere near the club you can pick up the latest copy of The Spit Bucket) #boxing #amateurboxing #zine #fanzine

Have you ever been to New Cross, SE.London? I've spent a lot of time there. Always had weird vibes. You might think it's because of art students. Before that? Jack Wannop founded the New Cross boxing & wrestling club & got his mate Tom to fight a donkey: grapplingwithhistory.com/2019/02/23/j...

And here's a boxing-related piece about my nan, and how my relative's relationships to her are all rooted in the times we knew her (and fellas banging each other on the hooter). #boxing #writing #essaywriting #essay #memoir www.litromagazine.com/editors-pick...

I thought I might share some of my own writing as it all got swallowed and lost over at the other place. Here's a piece about my dad's grief after losing his wife and working-class relationships to luxuries - in this case taking a hot bath, undisturbed. metode.r-o-m.no/artikler/ess...

Ancient Roman boxing gloves discovered during excavations of the cavalry barracks at Vindolanda, a Roman fort south of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, England. Believed to be the only known examples to have survived from the Roman period, 120 AD. #archaeohistories

This is a fantastic conversation with Isabel Waidner about #workingclass, #queer & #trans voices in #literature & how they are too quickly labelled as #experimental simply for differing from the norm, while also trying to identify how they may embrace these labels. open.spotify.com/episode/5L0A...
