bought mine today at the museum of anarchy in SE17 so both proving my revolutionary credentials and, by interrupting a young anarchist meeting, my counter revolutionary ones. It's all about balance lids.

It is with some disappointment that I note this is the last weekend unsullied by the intervention of the mighty blues and can sit down to tea (fish & chips c'est soir) without fear of clay kicking news putting me off my curry sauce.

I had ace time at Anarchist bookfair and have many stickers but, unquestionably, the best bit was speaking to the people involved in Club Silly, Poetic Technologies and operate under the Museum of Care #bossthem museum.care

The need to create what we call rooms — educational and cultural spaces of care — was discussed by David Graeber and Nika Dubrovsky during the pandemic.

Stumbled into poor Duckie* drag tribute to Shirley Bassey this evening at South Bank. I didn't know it was on but underwhelmed, may have turned ok but wouldn't know. More vexed that at earlier event David Hoyle was allegedly present but too busy scarfing food in sun then. #mundane *you expect better
