For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

🤫 Pssst: did you want a signed special indie edition with sprayed edges for a Christmas gift? They’re almost all gone, but we have just heard there are a few copies at @citybookshove.bsky.social! They ship everywhere, but get in there quickly… www.city-books.co.uk/products/pre...

Hands up if you'd be interested in a Sonic Youth #MusicChallenge in 2026 🙌 Thinking February or March for this one, if there's enough interest. RTs appreciated. #MusicSky

I think this may be the finest thing I have ever written.

If it turns out the Sumo lads robbed the Louvre, I will experience a level of pure joy I haven’t felt since the previous millennium.

Since deleting Twitter I’ve noticed a big drop in my Bandcamp sales. If you’re a music fan, please repost this so people can find me here! I make weirdo alt pop, I hate nazis and love Etsy witches 🖤✨ elisabethelektra.bandcamp.com

“I liked your poems better when they weren’t political.” My poems were always political, I just had to start writing poetry that spells things out loud and clear for the dolts who refuse to understand any kind of poetic language other than manifesto.
