🙏🏻 thanks Jim. That song has been on my mind a lot in the last year, but not so much lately. Lovely to be reminded!

Very sad to hear of the death of Andy Wilson. An inspiring and generous person, and a very good friend to Peakrill Press.

Just come on Bluesky for the first time in 2 months... apologies for all those exciting interactions I've missed (jk! It's been tumbleweed) This is me now, trying to sleep after 40 hours in A&E waiting for a mental health assessment bed 🙄 (I'm ok now, but I very wasn't)

I decided to ask a bunch of #Berlin friends to recommend the art that has moved them 2025 and I'm compiling it into a zine for them. Exhibitions, music, podcasts, books, TV, films, experiences - whatever has made our years a joy. A guidebook for the #Berlin #Mycelial.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.
Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

Proud to be crowdfunding for a new edition of The Night, by Alison J Carr. This uplifting illustrated novella explores a woman's journey from sexual visibility but lack of agency, through to self-possession and refusal to fear the night. Read more: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dan...

The problem remains that we’d rather screenshot awful ppl for numbers than share stuff that’s actually good. I’m trying to do the latter as much as possible these days.
