After having stewed on the code of practice for days and read a lot more intelligent and learned people's responses, I can only conclude there is no way you can approach it in good faith that makes any sort of sense Even within the document's internal logic, nothing makes legal or practical sense

My radio show from May 22nd on @freeformportland.org is now up for listening. Amen breaks aplenty, bleeps and bloops galore, Xylitol two ways, Salamanda two ways, an evening stroll in Italy, drums and guitar. www.mixcloud.com/welwing/some... #freeformportland

Feel like this is really important information and baffled why it would be paywalled

Need a break? A change of scenery? A chance to breathe? We got you. 💙🏳️‍⚧️

About to embark on a house move and hence rediscovering things I forgot I had. Anyone else know this series (if it was a series?) Bought them from Mark Pawson's market stall and only later realised it was Archer Prewitt (The Sea and Cake) Just incredible storytelling, bleak but warm hearted

Because of yesterday’s government ‘decision’ (did YOU vote for this?), I’m hoping for support on the doubling down of this comp. Every penny goes to The Good Law project and I will personally replace and donate any fees that Bandcamp takes. sinktherich-acompilation.bandcamp.com/album/sink-t...

What am I more afraid of: breaking the law if I need to take a dump in a Wetherspoons or the Anglosphere's inexorable descent into fascism. Aware also these are two sides of the same coin

Not me anxiously refreshing the UK Politics page on the Guardian website

Every trans person in the UK bracing themselves for impact right now, as we all have been for the past 12 months. All the usual things about keeping safe, holding fast to the peoole you trust, self care and also be prepared that civil disobedience is our only life choice for the time being

Just distracting myself from thecunfolsing horrors of the world and being nostalgically reminded of my highlight from the pandemic, being Alain De Botton's priceless Jezza from Peep Show moment

If Bridget Philipson says the words 'dignity' or 'respect' today I swear my head will finally explode

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

It's tough on one's mental health being one of your country's despised minorities. Never to have the luxury to inhabit yourself without being reminded that you are a pariah and a threat.

UK comrades buy your trans friend a pizza / cocktail / coffee tomorrow and offer hugs if they are hug-inclined, I'm not being fatalitistic when I say the news that is reportedly being delivered will not be good.

Finally unplugged myself from FB, truly that place rots your brain. Maybe this place does too, but hopefully in a less malign and insidious way. Here's to recovery.

Currently reading this - www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc... I think your assessment is correct but small things can be scaled up when the crisis accelerates. So I guess the point is probably for us all to do what we can and avoid doomerism or hyper activism.

Too long winded a story and too late in the night to explain why this song is wedged in my brain rn youtu.be/po5ys765vv4?...

Anyone have any bright ideas how to stop us having a fascist government in three years time? Some of us don't have the means to leave the country or the support networks to make bearable lives when we lose our healthcare, right to work, access to justice, means to live if disabled, migrant or queer

alright, it's finally time for Some Stuff I Missed, Vol. 21! youtu.be/AGsT4BMiE7A featuring reviews for @shyeheya.bsky.social, @distance.blue, @bunnyhausen.bsky.social, @cylob.bsky.social, @ochremusic.com, @tsudiostudio.bsky.social, and plenty more people who aren't on this site...

And of you’re looking for an explainer on WHY the British Museum is erasing Palestine, I wrote one a few months back: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/brit...

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

🖇️ alechanleybemis.substack.com/p/krautrock-chat 🌐 I collaborated with zensounds creator Stephan Kunze on a long conversation about Krautrock—which he helpfully reframes as German avant-garde rock (1968–1977). (He’s actually German.)

"just protecting women"

Keir Starmer who 'accidentally' said Israel could cut off water +electricity to Gaza and 'accidentally' made the racist "Island of Strangers " speech is enraged by a Zack Polanski re-tweet.

It is, I hope it's obvious to say, entirely reasonable for a politician to criticize the police, in actual fact their moral duty www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'This is music that is very much advanced, the kind that reaches beyond formalised musical logic to construct a complex beauty of its own, and also music that is completely uncivilised.' Guttersnipe at Supersonic 2026 buff.ly/JoOgWd8

My body is a palimpsest of unhealthy coping strategies

The High Court has just confirmed what many of us knew. The Office for Students fine of the University of Sussex for supposed ‘free speech’ infringements was a biased piece of right wing culture war politics and had nothing whatsoever to do with free speech. Sussex vindicated and the OfS exposed.

why breed dogs with jaws large enough to tear through Flesh, when you could breed dogs with minds large enougj to tear through Fallacy.....

I first met Mail Art Superstar Mark Pawson in the mid 1990s in Camden Town, where I found myself record shopping for Handbag House 12"s, disappointed that Jazzman Gerald in the Stables Market didn't have anything by Jon Pleased Wimmin but only some old Sun Ra LPs ...

Kinda wish a real assassin would step up now

I feel as though 160BPM has become my natural territory & while I didn't want to stray too far from my comfort zone there's always an ever present desire to push against the boundary of expectations (including and maybe predominantly my own) - Xylitol Listen: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-317-Xylitol

Also just discovered the amazing demo version of this absolute Balkan belter youtu.be/eNzVhEkLKAk?...

Big tune, great title, never understood why every Henry Cow album has a sock on the cover but I guess i'd know if i was a true fan youtu.be/mrcVGj_d3X4?...

Two excellent & thoughtful articles about how big tech enshittification is making artists work harder for ever small returns, this by music marketing expert Darren Hemmings on tQ: thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

I genuinely wonder how people who sell AI slop as music or art or poetry can sleep at night. There is not even any nihilistic frisson of anti-humanist jouissance to be gained from their pitiful endeavor, they are actually fucking contemptible, shitting on the human soul, the banal enemies of life.
