I could Listen to @kathyburke.bsky.social read books to me all day everyday after listening to her memoir A Mind of My Own - 10/10. What joy to discover that we share a love for Joe Orton too, where a copy of The Orton Diaries sit on my bedside table!

A highlight of my year has been Yuki Kihara's brilliant exhibition Darwin in Paradise Camp. It's currently at the Whitworth in Manchester and next Thursday (11th) I'll be there chatting to Yuki and curator Tamsin Hong. Come along! Free, but do book . . . 🌊🏳️‍🌈🐠🏳️‍⚧️🗃️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/yuki-kihar...
