This resonates! I grew up reading MAD Magazine whilst working (50p an hour, child labour) from the age of 9 in my mum's sweet shop. I found the hilarious irreverance of MAD Magazine liberating. It shaped my sense of humour and will to rebel, resist and make new. So, all hail the Holy Goof today!

youtu.be/JNTcY6l9-HI?... Have been feeling very uncharacteristically crap and down for two days, so posting a tune that cheers me up. And planning to run* on the beach later, (*see jog, [ˈʤɑːg, verb]) it will make or break me. Give me back my sparkle, life, or I will fight you down. 🤣😎

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

Puzzled by this find on the beach just now. I know we see intent where there’s just coincide, but the hole in the shell is so perfect and centered it made me think it was human-made. My fanciful ideas say it was part of an elaborate necklace. It soon will be one, anyway.

My lovely friend Phaedra gave me a birthday gift of books & wine. Cavafy & Jan Morris ♥️. But I’m already annoyed at the lack of lyricism in the translated poems. No, I don’t speak Greek but heck, surely Cavafy should sing and flow? (No names) ☺️ Who’s rendered the most lively translation of Cavafy?

Love John McCullough, he's a great reader of his work too.. saw him at Waterstone's in Bristol 2 or 3 years ago. :)

"The performance itself is non-verbal: the screens show seven operatically trained female performers emerging from a black background and holding a single high note for as long as they can, before retreating and being replaced by another singer." Sounds like a powerful, meaningful piece of art.

La Pierre Levée in Silly-en-Gouffern (Orne) is 6m tall, 4.6m wide and 0.7m thick. Natural depressions on top are imprints of the hands of the fairies who erected it. On moonless nights a hare came and sat by it but disappeared at dawn. Card by Roussel in Argentan c.1905.
