I spotted a fish!!!! @visdeurbel.bsky.social Thanks @lastweektonight.com 😘 In the midst of my post Bearded Theory Festival Fibromyalgia flare: this has made my day!

There is an unexpected side benefit to having a Bearded Dragon in the house. Not only do I get regular visits whilst I'm working, from the child, Beardy & Cat, but also, I get to say the word Vivarium, which has a rather mellifluous feel when said aloud. These three spend all day together happily.

Since he ruined my favourite playground, this is exactly what I needed today. bio.link/everyonehate...

Went to an amazing @theguardian.com event yesterday. @zahrajoya.bsky.social was inspirational. Please donate to @rukhshanamedia.bsky.social if you can, to help spread awareness of the gender apartheid going on in Afghanistan. Generations of women are living in fear & growing up without education.

LATE NIGHT BOOK NEWS! "A Particularly Nasty Case", the debut novel from Adam Kay, @amateuradam.bsky.social is published at the end of August. (Blurb in ALT text) You can now pre-order SIGNED copies from us! ORDER HERE!! biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copie... All this is true.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Loved watching @michaelkiwanuka.bsky.social. His gig on Monday at Hammersmith Apollo included some interesting videos, great camera work & seamless movement between songs. The whole night flew by & was over far too soon. His new album Small Changes is a perfect antidote to the usual distorted noise

Had an amazing Monday night at Hammersmith Apollo watching @michaelkiwanuka.bsky.social, with the wonderful @jappiah1.bsky.social as support. Such warmth & happiness radiating out which reached us up in the nose bleed seats, the whole night was lit. The strings & videos were a perfect touch too.

@roughtraderecords.bsky.social organised a smattering of music fans for the latest album by @thelathums Great night despite the crappy view from the accessible area - as evidenced here. My view Vs camera held almost above my head zoomed at 2.5.

IT'S @bandcamp.com DAY! 1st up @heladonegro.bsky.social who sends wonderful music & positive vibes out with regular updates. Then swinging by the sublime @kimdeal.bsky.social who absolutely killed it in London last week Lastly @bellyofficial.bsky.social as the 30th anniversary of King is upon us💓

Reading @yayoikusama 's autobiography, Infinity Net and somehow just bought this dress. Have a feeling @heleneccles.bsky.social knows what I mean 🤣

Too dirty for the closet. Too clean for the washing machine. Welcome to chair limbo.

Look what arrived! A real life proof copy of Who Wants Normal? The Disabled Girls’ Guide to Life. Only 83% hysterical some people will be reading it soon.

Loving the latest Barry Adamson album, The Last Words of Sam Cooke. Well worth an airing if you're sick of Christmas music being forced upon your ears.

We need the Living Wage for Musicians Act now!

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Blame that there band Beirut. After they announced they were only playing two shows in Berlin, it upped the ante & I focussed on learning German (leaving the other seven languages in the breeze for now.)

An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

the twelve days of christmas is completely unrealistic there is no way that you’re still accepting gifts from someone after four days of birds

We’ve actually had assisted dying in the UK since 2010, though back then it was called austerity measures.

OMG this is one of your best yet @pandamoanimum.bsky.social

Alternatively if you can't punch them, leave their Social Media sites.

Nothing beats the sweet relief of your child returning home after their first school trip overseas. I mean, she's half dead in bed, I on the other hand am feeling weirdly energised.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath. 👉 uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvi...

Confirmed: Jake Paul challenges Lewis Binford to a debate over the role of culture as an exosomatic adaptation to the environment

Excellent night! Saw Liz Lawrence at The Scala. I saw 2 songs from her set in July at Alexandra Palace, when she was supporting Bombay Bicycle Club and she managed to encapsulate my relationship with my dearest school friend almost perfectly. Go buy her two CD's, both they and she are brilliant!

@whiskysanta.masterofmalt.com Dear #WhiskySanta, please may you put @theginkitchen Gin Kitchen Gutsy Monkey from @MasterofMalt under my tree? I've been really good this year!

I have been following the Danish Band Efterklang for years. Their latest album is great. The link to their track Getting Reminders is below. I think Caspar Clausen's voice is lovely as is the Beirut Horns trumpet player. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu8M...
