Very excited to be playing this celebration of prog at The 1865 in Southampton! I've played this venue so many times under various guises so I can't wait to bring Cephid here. It'll be a full band show alongside some brilliant other acts. See you there! 🔴

Hello, flurry of new followers! I make progressive electronic music and play live with a laser harp. You may also remember me from playing keys with such acts as @thatjoepayne.bsky.social, Godsticks, Crimson Sky and Ghost Community.

These ill-informed comparisons have been made for decades. I dread to think the economic damage that has been done because politicians consistently go for easy soundbites like "we've maxed out the country's credit card" or "there's no magic money tree" instead of having real, adult conversations.

It's got to that stage of Christmas where the only thing in the fridge is 70 cocktail sausages. I will surely not regret eating 70 cocktail sausages for lunch.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot today. Evil, greed and selfishness are the lazy options. They require nothing more than base human appetites. Goodness, communality and civility require far more effort and generosity of spirit. There’s just more work involved.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”
Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh”

Panel 2: 
Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this”

Panel 3: 
Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break.

Panel 4: 
Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

peacefully protesting Gaza or climate change: fuck you, go to jail threatening to burn down hotels because there might be a foreign person temporarily housed there: hey guys, we hear you 😔 it's morally bankrupt, but on the other hand it's also politically suicidal so needs must I guess

If you're in desperate need of some cover art and unable to pay someone for it, close the Bluesky app, open your camera app and go outside to take some photos. They're guaranteed to be more interesting than 12-meter-trench-dug-into-the-depths-of-the-uncanny-valley AI-generated slop.
