Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

The gay FOMO of being in Glasgow when it's London Pride... But also knowing full well you don't want to be in London but miss your gay & queer friends 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎉💪

I can't tell if Danny Boyle loves or hates the North East. 🫣

Articulate as ever, thank you for being a voice of reason and humanity Zack! Also for those at the back, "Death to the IDF" is just catchier than "may we dismantle & disarm the state funded genocidal war machine IDF that kills indiscriminately and those who fund and arm it, including the UK Gov."

Euston Train station is such a joke, not only are trains being cancelled left, right and centre, but they've also cancelled the Fire Alarm Test. We need a 'Thick of it' for railways, because you can't write this shit

Edinburgh Fringe society accepting sponsorship from an AI company as their ‘Official Education Partner’ AND then having the gall to market it towards artists is absolute yikes…

Really glad I caught Confessions of A Shinagawa Monkey Vanishing Point & Kanagawa Arts at Tramway. Brilliant performances and stunning set and lighting design building the beautiful surreal world of Murakami. DCMS and devolved arts councils should support more international collaborations.

Hearing Patrick Wolf in Jack Rooke's Big Boys just gets me right in the feels. Haven't listened to Patrick Wolf in years and I'm just streaming 😭

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

Week one of 2025 as a freelance artist. Arts Council England App rejection. ✅ One zero hour Front of House job app ✅ One part time producer job app ✅ One residency app ✅ Two Arts Council England applications drafted / re-drafted ✅ ✅ One 8.5hr pub shift ✅ 2/3rds of my Tax Return nearly done 😴

I used to enjoy watching Queer Eye. The makeovers feel unsustainable - a lot of people are presented as either time poor or financially poor / not rich. Now I just feel anxious. I see a lot of myself in some of these people.

Jobs that are currently available in "the arts" - cover Santa ❌ - part time elves ❌ - Development Fundraiser - Chair for Board of Trustees.

I'm bored of being broke and broken. Thinking hard about career change whilst drafting an ACE app. I just want to pay off my debt and have a holiday in the sun. 🌞

for ppl watching EMILIA PEREZ. i am sharing this statement from Mexican actor Mauricio Martinez. listen.

Stop making Zero Hours role applications the same as Salaried role applications. You're fucking lazy.

Minimum wage front of house / admin jobs for arts orgs not accepting CV's need to get in the bin. Yes, on paper it's equal. Majority of your applicants will be artists with 100s of jobs. It doesn't make sense and is a waste of time.

There is some gorgeous apricity about this morning: (17th century: warming sun on a winter’s day).

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Shab-e Yalda Mubarak and a Very Merry Christmas to you all! ✨ 🎄 Yalda is the Persian celebration of the Winter Solstice, the longest night. 🌙 No matter if you're celebrating Christmas, Yalda or just a well deserved break, we hope you have a restful time!

What will be the legacy of Bradford City of Culture? What could have been the continued work of Freedom? (I know they're different budgets, ACE vs DCMS, but still). Too many amazing orgs closing. Industry and funding really is in freefall.

We're so excited to announce one of two new shows coming from Team Seemia next year! Let’s Love sees 3 stories of love, celebrating the diversity of Stockton. 💚 arconline.co.uk/latest-make-...

Glasgow council has passed a motion to impose a levy on gigs at the city’s biggest concert venue to support struggling small venues. #NewsInBrief

As someone who's currently on a panel, I'm working hard to hit a deadline for feedback. As an artist, we need to be told a decent, accurate timeline. But orgs, big and small, often promise to get back with an unrealistic timeline. At least update us a) why you're delayed, b) new timescale.

I share concerns of experts at the Council of Europe that removing access to #PubertyBlockers except through clinical trials may breach “fundamental ethical principles governing research”, amounting to coercion and a breach of young people's human rights. I asked Wes Streeting about this today... 🧵

Earlier in the year 10 companies (part of the artist led touring companies network) put together case studies on how we currently tour & the associated joys/challenges. It's a rich resource, it reveals costs & it's a chance to learn about our different models & realities. tangledfeet.com/news/100

💡Touring performing arts in England. @artscouncilengland.bsky.social have engaged The Audience Agency (a contract worth £50k-£100k) to conduct a study of the touring of theatre, dance, music & combined arts to indoor venues with 150+ seats who present work. www.artscouncil.org.uk/research-and...

Honestly, I don't think anyone has ever won anything from o2. Never. No one. It's all lies.
