Anatomy for lovers

Make a band out of two others: Eddie and the Hot Chocolate

My mum and my dad’s hand writing. Labels unchanged since childhood and drawers still on my desk.

and to repeat: these ideas aren’t “just” racist or things that I (from my left leaning metropolitan elite position) find morally abhorrent. They are also entirely fictional and without any internal logic. What does it MEAN to say “immigrants are getting hotels and British people can’t get hotels”???

Such a great essay

A # of problems would have been greatly reduced by white men simply liking themselves instead of measuring their self-worth by the oppression of others. The ideology of white supremacy & patriarchy is a collective self-esteem failure that prevented many people from building a self-worth on merit.

How I made one of my #Haturday hats out of newspaper, card, tape and paint. A year of doing this every Saturday raised 3.3k for a domestic violence charity. youtu.be/metQ7Bo7uPQ

Wow, I can't believe Labour's tactic of yelling "DON'T VOTE FOR THESE GREEN CUNTS, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, VOTE FOR US, WE HATE IMMIGRANTS IN A BETTER WAY THAN REFORM!" hasn't led to them keeping all their council seats.

Has anyone else noticed what a red-flag word ‘ilk’ is? Why? Is it a low-bar ‘sound clever’ word? Also first sentences that start ‘the thing is, David,’ or ‘oh really, Barbara,’ . Ham Gravitas.

Barry Sangerman vs Bryan Mewlnyk. Exhausting

Here are the bells I fired yesterday. If you would like one they are for sale, £45 each Blue Lady with Swallow Field Gown Briar Dress The Walk Home Blue Woman with Black Snake Jackdaw

My favourite of today’s new batch of ceramic bells is this green lady with telegraph poles.

I absolutely loved this book. Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova. Tender, ferocious, sad, the terrible and beautiful logic of what is more usually stays hidden. @deadinkbooks.bsky.social @samanito.bsky.social

Solid concept (Tiernan is a talented friend who does artwork for Dredd/2000ad amongst many other things)

Slightly diminish a book: The Grapes of Peeve

Two in three don’t though. Perhaps we’d have a better society if we could frame it that way every now and then.

BEAST by @luluallison.bsky.social. Signed mini print with every copy bought from us! buy HERE. www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi...

Walpurgisnacht, (last night) the night of witches, appears in Goethe’s Faust. My book, Beast, is a reframing of the Faust myth. In Beast, the trading of your soul for treasures is not at the cost of eternal life; instead those who trade are condemned to it.

Salt Lick by @luluallison.bsky.social. The @womensprize.bsky.social nominated novel is SIGNED by Lulu and with each copy you buy, I'll send a free cow mono print made by Lulu with the book! Incredible! BUY HERE. www.biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copie...

If you would like to read Beast, @biggreenbooks.bsky.social are selling copies with free signed mini-prints by me. They also have copies of my @womensprize.bsky.social nominated novel Salt Lick. Rabbits for Beast, Cows for Salt Lick. It will make sense if you read them.

Who has their own editing codes? The one on the right I always use - a lower case i in squiggle form, for ‘improve’. The one on the left a WIP-specific house for ‘more claustrophobic’.

I began as an artist who loved reading. An art project (writing short imaginary portraits of of people who died in Iraq war) got me hooked on writing and the project became my first novel, Twice the Speed of Dark, pub 2017. I was amazed to discover that I did have the patience to write a book.

Q1 Hi, Lulu. To get things started, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your writing career to date? #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview #Beast

I have just finished the first draft of my fourth novel. It's called This Evening. It is about two old men, father and son, living in isolation in the suburbs. It's quite short, if there are prospective first readers out there?

Today's featured #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview features @luluallison.bsky.social discussing her book, #Beast. @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social #WomenWriters

PSG Bayern was a real treat.

Who sung this playground song? This is possibly verse 3: “When Julie was a teenager, A teenager she was She went-a ‘ooh ah, I’ve lost my bra, I left my knickers in my boyfriend’s car’ ” Can’t remember the rest but the song took Julie fairly ruthlessly through the different life stages.

This is a cropped screen shot I nicked from a photo by flightculture. co. uk on Facebook, a post about learning to paraglide. Just beautiful.

Let the hat do the talking. (Many years ago in Munich, my favourite hat from the Foeinmarkt)

New mirrors. Will be up for sale soon

Tara Dignam “Mo chuisle mo chroí” Released a couple of minutes ago ❤️❤️❤️ MY DAUGHTER ❤️❤️❤️ Please like and share this brilliant song. I’d really appreciate it 🙏 open.spotify.com/album/3Y5qpa...

My brilliant daughters. One has a birthday today. They are both marvellous.

Chelsea, booo Super Frank, yeah!

Something I did whilst teaching drawing and art. I've been thinking about drawing a lot. Specifically about the difference between drawing and art. Drawing is a strange thing.

I mean, I’m not necessarily going to use the work it does, but boy, I make it do the work.

Sky on the road

I love a travel sweet. Jelly babies are my drug of choice. But this time I’m taking chopped celery and grapes. Not to avoid calories but so that I don’t scarf the whole pack in a frenzy before crossing the Dorset/Somerset border then spending the next three hours feeling utterly sick.

So far this morning I’ve lost my last vital bit of wire - in a cabbage, and glued the araldite pot to my phone. Just getting a little bit of work done … #haplesstwerp

Things I make and sell to earn a living.
