Sometimes things become unavoidable, and not always for the better. Track 18 of Dogface Words is: I Don't Really Want to Talk About Them This concludes Side A of the collection. Side B will follow after a much needed break. #poetryofbluesky #poemoftheday #queerartist #political #neurodivergent

We've all been there: no harm in one more bite, right? Track 17 in Dogface Words is: Shemomedjamo (შემომეჭამა) #poetryofbluesky #poemoftheday #queerartist #fatpositive #foodlove

I'm 41 (a few weeks off 42). Got My Mind Set On You was my first ever single on my third birthday. I was a weird kid. 👀

This is wild when I stop and think about it, as someone who spent so many years with the Boosh at the centre of my universe... quite how much more Bake Off and Buzzcocks that Noel Fielding has now made compared to scripted comedy work. It's no wonder so many now don't know him as the Boosh guy...

Reviving these... some bonus 'early years' Queen single covers I made a few years ago for tracks that probably should have been A-sides but weren't. #7 is Sheer Heart Attack btw (NOTW era singles didn't have titles on the front cover). All would have enhanced Greatest Hits sweep of 1973-1980.

I originally uploaded this to my old (now locked out of) YouTube account 17 years ago. On what would have been Jim Henson's 90th birthday, it felt appropriate to bring it here, too. The moment The Muppets learnt he was gone. Just phenomenal television. Heartfelt and full of love, just like Jim.

The late, great, Jim Henson would have been 90 today. He gave the world so much. And, alongside Terry Jones and Brian Froud, he gave me a nickname that stuck and became my real name. Happy birthday, Jim. The world is a sorrier place without you, but the love you poured into it lives on.

Very happy to add a limited edition cassette version of The Best Punk Album Of All Time to my collection of X Ray Spex stuff. Poly Styrene (and Art-I-Ficial) is referenced in my poetry collection Dogface Words, and really is a huge inspiration on my art and my life. Long may she reign.

Most people: Oh that's a good poster for the new Tom Cruise movie. Doctor Who fans: HENRY VAN STATTEN AND OWEN HARPER!

Yes. Tim Curry's understudy in Spamalot was none other than Craige Els - Doctor Who's own Karvanista, the character who inspired THIS Bluesky account handle, got a symbol tattooed on my body and quite probably saved my life a few years ago.

Have you spotted him? Can you tell WHO it is yet?

This week I discovered which member of the ensemble was Tim's understudy. Look at that photo again. Look closer. Towards the back. A very tall man...

One of my big life regrets is not getting to see Tim Curry in Spamalot when he was in the West End. I didn't get to London for the first time until 10 months after his run and missing that was part of what drove young me to start going down there to see the things that never came up north.

What happens when parasocial addiction begins to doubt itself? Track 16 in Dogface Words is: MASCOT. #poetryofbluesky #poemoftheday #neurodivergent #autisticpoet #queerartist #dogfacewords

A few close friends have had a preview of the next poem in Dogface Words, and expressed caution to me about its content. As such, I felt like a disclaimer would be a wise choice ahead of "publication".

Another joyous night at @gallycab.bsky.social. All the best bits would be spoilers so you'll just have to go and see them. Some things will haunt my dreams. 😂 Also, nice of UNIT to double bank the night with a big bash upstairs. I had no idea Ms Jones and Dr Shaw were that close. 😉

Always a pleasure to see Lily & Lewis - aka The Meffs. Two of the nicest, most genuine people not just in punk rock, but in music full stop. Chuffed to see them on the up and getting lots of attention. Go buy their new record!

With the delightful Fancy Hagood last night in Manchester. A very, genuinely lovely human being and a hugely influential figure in my life since we met last year. Looking forward to seeing him again this weekend. I adore this man and am honored to call him a friend.

Made this two years ago. Stand by it. Still hugely disappointed the original perfect mix of In The Court of the Crimson Queen isn't available anywhere any more when the new remix is so clunky and lifeless.

For the sake of all my fellow Whovians... Due to the trams being off, I'm currently on a bus heading through Cheetham Hill. No sign of this legend, sadly.

Direct message me or reply if so. I don't need huge amounts of detail. I just want to understand some of the stories for a thing I'm ruminating on writing (in which case everything would be anonymous and non identifiable).

Out tomorrow: the brand new album from The Meffs... BUSINESS. Blisteringly brilliant and furiously loud and proud punk rock at its best. Go get some. This is queer culture & it fuggin slaps. @themeffs.bsky.social Ps. Cheers for the test pressing L&L! Will treasure this one. See ya in a week! xx

A chance encounter can leave you wondering if the balance of everything else beyond it is out of phase with where it should be. Track 14 in Dogface Words is: THE DEER #poemoftheday #poetryofbluesky #naturepoem #wildlife #neurodivergent #dogfacewords

If you can't beat the algorithm by being yourself, do you beat it by becoming it? Track 13 in Dogface Words is: IT'S ALL JUST AI NOW. (And fwiw, no AI was used in the making of this or any of my poems.) #poetryofbluesky #poemoftheday #neurodivergent #queerpoetry #humancreativity #dogfacewords

With a hefty TRIGGER WARNING for repeating transphobic dogma, and also a note that this poem contains very strong language. Track 12 in Dogface Words is: COME ON. BE FAIR. #poetryofbluesky #poemoftheday #lgbtqpoetry #neurodivergent #transrightsarehumanrights

This genuinely makes me sick. The very people funding the continued attack on trans rights here in the UK pinkwashing their reputation via Manchester Pride.

Well, it went to Nashville, then to Atlanta, and then flew 4,000 miles or so to be here in Manchester. But here it is: Paris Jackson's sophomore album and first to get a physical release. Very very happy to have this one. What a record. #parisjackson

To celebrate, here's 60 of my favourite Garbage songs in no order of preference, just arranged in a way I think sounds good. I've set it public on Tidal for those who use it. Long may Manson reign.
