I'm putting on 3 very good bands at The Ivy House on Friday, you should come

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

hiya, it's a bandcamp friday and our new album is out at the end of the month. maybe you would like to pre-order?

In ONE WEEK, Perennial, Fightmilk, and Gross Misconduct bring a jam-packed punk bill to South London's finest community owned pub, The Ivy House! Get yr tickets now! wegottickets.com/event/667024 @perennialtheband.bsky.social @fightmilkband.bsky.social

Why do a bunch of people we hire to be legal thugs to enforce racist & discriminatory state violence against their fellow citizens always turn out to be a bunch of wildly bigoted & violent thugs? Total mystery

Just as a point of reference, fewer people, on average, are provided with asylum, per year, under family reunification routes as attend an average Birmingham City home game. It really isn't a lot, but it is a vital route, and it isn't "automatic" as the routes are already restrictive. 2/

There is no such thing, as Starmer well knows, as a "golden ticket of resettlement and family reunion" for people who have been granted refugee status. This is meaningless guff aimed to play to populist fantasies that refugees get provided with everything. 1/ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Was talking to Alanah from Prob Pats about being on a certain gothy late 2000s indie band's forum yesterday and how it's the six degrees/r'n'r family trees connection between Dorian Electra, PP, Sniffany and The Nits (pretty sure?), my bands, and maybe others

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

we've got a new single out today. it's called crying! it's track 3 off the new album coming out on fika. u can find it on all the evil streaming sites. u can also buy it from fika//search for it on soulseek. choose yr poison. li.sten.to/adults-crying

This genocide belongs to Britain, too. The government’s legacy will be its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. We will never give up until there is justice, peace and freedom for the Palestinian people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

I can’t help but wonder that if proposing a nationwide bathroom ban for trans people isn’t enough to get supposed trans allies to leave the Labour Party, what will actually do it? You should campaign for parties that align with your beliefs. If you don’t believe in bathroom bans, resign.

I'm on my 5th episode of Silo and I think I have to give up. Some of it has been interesting, but prob not enough to carry on really

Of the many embarrassing and horrible things this government will be remembered for, they can now include arresting multiple 80 somethings for peacefully protesting. Imagine having your legacy being that you were locking up grannies. It's been mean pillocks in charge for decades and no change yet

Going to gigs tonight and tomorrow at the same venue. Might as well take a sleeping bag, etc. etc.

I'm now at 17 for Cronenberg, and 12 for Wes Anderson
