Ah yes. As a nation there seems to be a great deal of apathy. It’s a f&@*ing mess. I cynically wonder if rogue states have more control than we realise but tbh, that’s easier to accept than 15 -20 years (at least) of political incompetence & over obsession with power rather than making a difference

Suggestions? I do all I can within the law.

I ranted much along the lines of, stop this neoliberal bullshit and blaming individuals. Instead take some responsibility for sorting the bigger issues that have lead to this situation in the first place. And whilst you’re there sort the water companies. I don’t think you’re in the minority.

I have a small amount of video of snapped ankles but sadly don’t seem to be able to post.

Two gigs, surprisingly different vibes this weekend #TestDepartment - #Whitstable and #SnappedAnkles - #Margate

Test Department backdrop log showing a hand pushing through a cog holding a hammer pressing down into an open book

The band on stage are two older men. One wears a black tee-shirt with the slogan “stop genocide, end apartheid, free Palestine”. He speaks into a microphone. In front of him is a table with a computer and digital music equipment. The second man who is to the right of the first plays drum pads with drum sticks

Snapped ankles band defy description visually. Think of a post apocalyptic landscape where the air is too thick to breathe and people’s faces are covered. They wear green headlamps to cut through the smog and scraps of clothing (in the style of Mr Susan). Their faces are covered. The singer in the centre of the picture holds a post with a microphone lashed to it. Either side of him are two other men playing synths and digital devices

Oh I love this. Good call. You’ve inspired me to put it on in my car today too!

Tonight’s gig was Index for Working Music, who played Ramsgate Music Hall to an audience of about 25 people!

My Nan is 105 today. Bless her she’s not so terribly well but until just before the pandemic she walked everywhere, was never a drinker & as miserable as sin. Make of that what you will! I never was that close to her but I do admire the old bird. Happy birthday Nan

Today I’ve really done art in a big way Grayson Perry ✔️ Leigh Bowery ✔️ Electric Dreams Exhibit ✔️

A commission by Grayson Perry to have one of his ceramic masks made into a knights helmet. The result is a brushed grey mental face with golden eyelashes, ears and stylised crown. Entitled something like the sissy’s bridle

Yellow ceramic vase with a bulbous body and slender neck. Decorated in dark blue cartoonish regency style ladies and gents, professing their wealth

Leigh Bowery - outrageous costumes on mannequins. All are sparking and have tight fitting masks and gloves

Moving Sculpture on a tripod. Reminiscent of a Mattisse mobile with silver mental half and quarter discs, casting a weblike silhouette on the floor and wall

A little poem I wrote last week whilst procrastinating. Abridged for the character limit here. #PhDLife #Academia #poetry

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

My procrastination first began with a packet of biscuits Followed by some urgent cleaning Then time was spent thinking about, overpainting that mark on my ceiling And by the time I was finished & tidied away I realised that the chapter I’d intended to write, would have to wait another day. #PhD

I know! Let’s do it again soon x And exuberant was the word I was looking for when I said jubilant 🙃

Good to see you again Simon x

Thus Love at Ramsgate Music Hall was epic. Last night of the tour and they were in a jubilant and celebratory mood #ThusLove #RamsgateMusicHall

The band lined up and orderly at the beginning of the set

The singer is playing his guitar and singing into the microphone

The singer and bass guitarist lean against each other, their backs are arched and necks of their guitars are pointed upwards

Chaos at the end, the guitarist is between the second guitarists legs on his knees singing, the bass player has joined the audience. Moments later they were dancing

A week since I was visited by the duck, he’s turned up again and was quacking through the patio door. I wonder what he is trying to tell me? 🦆

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Yes, our librarians are fantastic. Our university now has an arrangement for staff and PG students to publish OA too

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

I think it was seeing a little gold padlock on an online article that announced it was open access and I googled OA to find out what it meant

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Hope you’re having a great time. I get to see them again on Thursday 🙌🏻

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

I guess I should have said “Readers I married him” to make it sound even more so 😁

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Floor is still sticky though 😜

Tonight I saw Helicon at Justine’s in Margate. It was a bit surreal though because when I arrived at Justine’s I realised that the venue was formerly the Pisces Club where 32years ago I played a gig and the other band performing that night was my husbands. As they say… the rest is history.

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Ahhh that’s nice. It will be super to see you. Are you going to thus love too?

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

It’s the most random reason I ever had but really needed it today, so yes it was incredibly excellent

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Thanks @captainlibatron.bsky.social for the cake! That was the most delicious cake I’ve had for a loooong time #GlutenFree #TwelveTaps #Birthday

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Yessss! But how did you know we’d be there!?

110

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Well there was a funny sound, I realised it was coming from near my back door. I opened the door and there was a mallard looking at me. I don’t have a pond or a river near me. So I fed him and took his photo. It was nice to be with him and then I was late for work 🤣

What a week, and it’s only Thursday!! Redundancy Risk on Tuesday Locked out of the House on Wednesday (and told redundancy risk isn’t happening ) Diverted by a Duck today Off out later for a well deserved beer and to celebrate the Twelve Taps birthday tonight

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

What a week. HE is a mess and I’ve suddenly got a new PhD supervisor. Additionally my Chair of Studies is taking redundancy leaving in the summer, and I’m a bit discombobulated. 😕 #AcademicLife #PhD #FinalYear

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Mind you, there was a creepy, touchy guy who was very much in my space but a glare and quick jab to the ribs with my elbow seemed to work.

Another superb concert with a more respectful crowd tonight. #AnnaErhard #ElseWhere #Margate

Anna is centre stage playing her guitar, to her left is the bass guitarist. He is bent forwards over his bass as he plays

The drummer is on the left side, Anna plays guitar and sings into a microphone. She is centre of the stage and the picture. The bass player is on the far side of the image, he is smiling while he plays

Doh just realised it’s TV not radio. Will give it a watch later though

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Sounds like a perfect listen for my afternoon. Thanks!

Tristi Bee @tristibee.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

In the UK I think we are more interested in your mindset than your attire. But it sounds as if your choices are low risk and will hit the tone of most organisations
