today is the release day for A Letter From The Mountain & Other Poems (@animalheartpress.bsky.social)!! here is a poem from the book I’m particularly fond of—many, many thanks to all the folks who have preordered a copy already, it means the world to me & I’m so grateful for your kind support :’)

Sonnet

In the dark room a reliable ocean
sounds mix on YouTube replaces day
and night with barely
-perceptible differences in volume
between high and low tide. No birds
ever seem to get near the mic,
which is like a miracle if the kind of miracle
you’re into doesn't have birds in it.

In the reliable ocean sounds mix on You
Tube’s comments section, there's one guy
with no likes or replies saying “Thank you,
this video helps my son
fall asleep, nothing else has worked as well
as this video.”

Lowering the voting age is a terrible idea. It’s a cynical move by Labour but will backfire.

Can I introduce you to my new podcast? It’s called Making Trouble with Molly Naylor. Every week I interview a creative person about what’s currently impeding their process, from the trivial to the existential. Subscribe wherever you get your poddies! Hot new ep drops tomorrow. 🛁🎙️

I didn't realise we had to announce this, but for the avoidance of all doubt I am only writing for awards, adoration & til I can pivot to selling LED mini fans on TikTok. I loathe stories. They make me sick. Every moment spent in my imagination is like being waterboarded with diarrhoea

Still my favourite David Bowie story.

A word about Shirley Bassey. During the very early days of Ziggy Stardust, we often used to play these fairly grotty clubs called the "workingman's clubs." They were sort of like nightclubs but you got a cheap meal. The whole family would come. A round of beer. A rock act. A stripper-sometimes one in the same. Well, backstage one night I was desperate to use the bathroom. I was dressed in my full, battle finery of Tokyo-spaceboy and a pair of shoes high enough that it induced nose bleeds. I went up to the promoter-actually I tottered over to the promoter-and I asked, "Could you please tell me where the lavatory is?"

And he said, "Yeah, look down that corridor. On the far end of that wall. You see that sink? There you go."

I said, "My good man, I'm not taking a piss in the sink."

He said, "Listen son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My word The Cuckoo on Netflix is such a pile of utter shit. Such an unrealistic sensationalist portrayal of adoption. None of it works. Shame on all involved!

If there’s one thing the old and infirm struggle with it is a slippery slope BUT the idea that healthy people will end up getting killed on the NHS is mental, it won’t happen. There aren’t healthy people going off to Switzerland because they feel like they’re a burden. Yes to Assisted Dying bill

“It forces you to stop thinking about exercise as a tool of vanity and status and instead start treating your body like the fleshy instrument of survival it really is.“ the brilliant Nell Frizzell in @theguardian.com today www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m still running at seven months pregnant. But it’s transformed how I think about exercise | Nell Frizzell

All too often, staying fit is about vanity and status. The slower and wheezier I become, writes Nell Frizzell, the more I realise it’s also about survival

I’m not sure what’s more ridiculous, the fact that they’ve made two telly things about the Maitlis/Prince Andrew interview, or that I’ve watched them both.

Sad news today. Without Short Cuts, I would never have started making audio. They gave me support, skills, opportunity, an audience. I'm off to the Audio Production Awards tonight because of two pieces I made for Short Cuts. Will be nice to raise a glass and give thanks
