I did a fire walk last night! Or more accurately, I walked on hot coals! Felt super great 😄🔥🔥🧯

Working on an embroidery! 🧵🪡

I saw a comment on FB earlier that referred to Alanis Morrisette as a 'one hit wonder' and I've been keeled over in shock ever since. WHERE DO PEOPLE GET SUCH MISINFORMATION?? 😡

Today has been a 'listening to The Raveonettes' day 💓

When I was at the Women in Punk thing last week, there was a zine archive with a stall of zines from over the years. And THIS one stuck with me, it's like everything I loved as a 90s teen squeezed onto the cover! Hole, No Doubt, Buffy, Clueless, Spice Girls, X Files... 😍😍

If you see this, post a drummer that starts with T Easy one for me- the coolest drummer EVER

This has personally inspired me more than any other quote I've ever read.

This is a cool read! 😎

Had a great time at the Women in Punk event at Rough Trade in Nottingham! I have a short talk about 'Rebel Grrrls' and listened to so many great speakers all day 😀 What a great event! Oh and I had an AMAZING cookie as well!

Probably a bit on the nose to use ##worldbookday to remind everyone that I have written a book, it is about women,punk and feminism and it is out in June (UK) and July (US). You can pre order here: omnibuspress.com/products/reb...

I've been making gifts for friends recently and I've finished this one for my friend who loves Agatha Christie! I embroidered the letters myself (but I didn't make the little figure!). I'm making a little zine for my other friend 😀

Re sharing for the morning crowd. 😀

Hello lovelies! We've got a new post up on Punk Rock Philosophy & it's a big one. We use Irish avant garde punk Meryl Streek's track 'False Apologies' to explore the history behind the song's subject matter- the scandal of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries 👇👇👇 punkrockphilosophy.com/punk-rock-ph...

On this day in 1991, #TheClash were at Number One in the UK singles chart with Should I Stay Or Should I Go. youtu.be/xMaE6toi4mk?si…

Had an awesome night last night in Leeds seeing Dead Pioneers and Yakkie at the Key Club.

Hello punks! I've got some very interesting posts coming up on Punk Rock Philosophy- one looks at the events behind a punk song about the Magdelene Laundries in Ireland & another medical misogyny, explored via a MCR Punk song! Punk has a lot to say on so many topics- explore on Punk Rock Philosophy!

And I always share this one on International Clash Day as well....my top 10 most underrated Clash songs (ones that go beyond the obvious picks basically) www.punktuationmag.com/10-underrate...

Every International Clash Day, I share some of the stuff I've written about the band over the years. For Punk Rock Philosophy, I looked at the meaning behind one of their best songs- Clampdown. Have a read! 👇👇👇 punkrockphilosophy.com/punk-rock-ph...

I've been in Newcastle for 2 years and never had a stottie....until today! Just about to have my first taste of one!

As it was International Clash Day yesterday, I took my London Calling themed notebook out for a spin 😅

There will be some exciting Rebel Grrrls updates coming soon! I had a need to go through some 'author photos' and this one didn't make the grade for the sleeve of the book but I like it!

It's not my favourite GD album BUT...I had a Dookie hoodie as a teen and I never took it off and got taken out of lessons in year 9 because I wouldn't be separated from it 😅 Ahhhhh memories 🤩

Ahhh really sad to hear of the passing of Catherine O'Hara. So many great performances to choose from but I gotta say that as Home Alone is one of my fave films, that's the role I always think of when I think of her. youtu.be/tG1wyIdE8nw?...
