When our politicians come back to us yet again with sympathetic words, it is necessary to respond: what are you actually doing to help? What powers are you using to stop a genocide? What else could you be doing to stop people being murdered today?

Stunned to have made the Alpine Fellowship poetry prize shortlist! I am so grateful to be on this incredible list ✨️

Glasgow 850 school lunch menu for Friday. I am deceased 😂

This will be exciting

What's in a frame? Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.

My contributor's copy of 'Earth: poems of presence and possibility' has arrived from the US and it is gorgeous 😍 @tinywrenlit.bsky.social

Extremely excited to return to Manchester for this special event. It's not technically the first screening in England (Cambridge got there first, sorry!) but it's certainly the fanciest screening I've had since the premiere and I'll need to polish my shoes.

Looks like this place is finally taking off? I'm mostly (mildly) sketching aboot on Instagram.

Just read a job description for a role at a major cultural organisation (not UK) that asks the candidate be "immune to stress". So, a robot, presumably?

I am begging you to tax the rich and fund our public services properly

The heavy irony that ACE didn't consider their own reputational risk 😆 #artscouncilengland #mediastorm

One of Scotland's great artists, John Byrne, is sadly no longer with us. Here's a clip from an STV report on a mural he created in Partick in 1975. movingimage.nls.uk/film/T2287/7...

“@ashtartheatre, due to the horrific war taking place in Gaza, [urges] all its friends and theater makers around the world to publicly read/perform The Gaza Monologues on Nov 29th” thank you to @fdbckfdfwd.bsky.social & co. for doing this (i pop up at the very end) soundcloud.com/gazamonologu...

In these bleakest of days we notice how few pro climate activists/influencers openly show solidarity with Palestinians, as if global conflicts, oil, weapons and imperialism aren't all connected. It is so painfully obvious that if we don't attempt to make a difference here, everything is lost.

Grateful to the editors at #AmsterdamReview for publishing my poem 'In the Burrowing Slowness of Indifference' www.amsterdamreview.org

That final episode of Fall of the House of Usher. More immaculate Flannagan monologues, he really threw everything into it. Also: that line about how much suffering we could alleviate in the world with just one year's worth of film & TV budgets!! *chef's kiss*

I've seen this Scottish guy on X who shares his investment portfolio to "help" "ordinary dads" like him, who "grew up in a household with income insecurity" and he's all 'Wow, my Shell profits are huge! What should I do w/ the profit?" and the revolution is really not coming is it? 🤮

I don't think they've reached the blue place yet but the lovely eds at Briefly Zine have nominated one of my weird lil poems for #BestOfTheNet and I love them brieflywrite.com/2023/10/05/b...

Oooh velvety socialism mmmmm

I hate these people with a passion far stronger, I think, than any passion they've ever had for anything other than their little money piles

Got drenched on my way to work so currently in my office wearing a green screen

Desperate stuff from Jeremy Hunt this morning. "Rishi Sunak is going to save this country at the next election". Seems to have forgotten he's already in power 😂
