FUCKING HELL if your entertainment online comes from making another human being feel watched, hunted, humiliated or unwelcome until they disappear, perhaps have a fucking word with yourself. there's a person on the other side of the screen.

Brian was also kind enough to read some of my poems. Lovebirds, written in 2008, was a particular favourite of his. I've recently turned it into a song. This one's for you, Brian. x

A year ago today Brian Patten died. I was lucky enough to correspond with him many years ago. He was a lovely man, generous with his time, and read some of my poetry. In 2021 I wrote Warm Sand, inspired by the final stanza of And Nothing Is Ever As You Want It To Be. His poem and mine.

i thought bluesky was full of rational sceptics. turns out it's a conspiracy playground. “there isn't enough evidence to say they were planning a terrorist attack” 👍 “therefore they were stealing diesel / working for mossad / part of a false flag” 🤦‍♂️ “we don't know yet” is still an option.

BREAKING: Scotland Yard are now investigating reports that the five men arrested near RAF Fairford were stranded extraterrestrials attempting to repair their spacecraft. Police say the white vans may have been a crude attempt at camouflage. Fox Mulder has been called in. The truth is out there.

Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

It's not just that we had two wasted years under Keir Starmer - years in which, with a vast majority and quite a lot of goodwill - he could have turned this country around. On crucial issues, we had two years of spiralling backwards, towards a very dark place. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A new East Anglian performance-art collective is bringing seven artists together for its first major event in Norwich – with site-specific works, intimate acts of care, confessionals and some striking costume changes. What exactly should audiences expect from CONVERGE? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

an experiment in recontextualisation. I sampled the intro and chorus from arctic monkeys' opening night and worked them into an old poem I wrote in 2009, inspired by a car crash I saw on the way home from work one evening. they seemed to fit together. youtu.be/Dtke7Qf1bi4

no word of a lie, I had a bizarre dream last night that I cooked @reecedinsdale.bsky.social a vegan sunday breakfast, but on the plate all the food was arranged to make a picture of the interior of square chapel arts centre.
