RIP Iris Long. Sarah Schulman's interview with her for the ACT UP Oral History Project is definitely worth watching... www.actuporalhistory.org/numerical-in...

"Beautiful Place because Trees are Loved" is the title of Tolkien's letter to The Daily Telegraph (4 July 1972) A response to an article that used the phrase "Tolkien gloom" for trees, he insisted that he's always on the side of trees against their enemies. 1/4 #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

old Xennial/young GenX. I honestly thought from my first direct action at 15 that our fight for a better future would prevail and that if I ever reached midlife I would no longer be afraid to grow old. teen me would be amazed I lived this long but worried; horrified at where we're at collectively.

Guess who got tickets to Placebo's 30th anniversary tour, hmmm???

A bit of gore~ridden whimsy 💀 open.substack.com/pub/unaofthe...

The "do not let (chronic) illness define your life" shows how little healthy people understand chronic illness & the immense challenges that getting a correct diagnosis, fighting for adequate treatment & support, & dealing with the ever changing nature of some chronic illness represent for sufferers

Happy end of Gary Retrograde everyone. It's Gary Oldman's birthday and the Garys are once more the same age and balance has been restored to the universe. If you celebrated the beginning of Gary Retrograde by listening to a Numan record, you should watch an Oldman movie today.

Called myself a name that means "lamb. Previous name was the Hebrew word for "ewe". Coincidence accidental.

the media: queers are all rabid hedonists with a 24-hour coke-fuelled clubtastic lifestyle me: sincerely love a matinee performance. Love to be in the cinema or theatre just after my afternoon nap and get back and be in bed for 8.30pm

Hello, I'm Gabby, fosterer & re-homer of cats. After a friend passed in Dec, we took in their precious babies. Typically, we don't struggle to find homes but this time we've hit a wall. These cats are AMAZING & we will deliver to anywhere in the UK for a perfect home where they're loved forever.

Two years since the launch of my first book, "Muses No More: Portraits of Occult Women"! Thank you to everyone who has supported us!

Falling unconscious to yesterday's general anaesthetic, just as the nurse was telling me how great it was that I was writing a book on Madness from a lived experience standpoint... luvly ☺️

@unaofthepeatbog.bsky.social Happy Orkney and Shetland are pawned by Norway to Scotland in lieu of a dowry for Margaret of Denmark day, today, in 1472, to you an yours!

Beloved home 💓 Shetland delivers.

Perfect timing ~ as of 24hrs ago I am utterly obsessed with magpies. Unfortunately they only rarely visit Shetland.

what's this then? a two-hour plus look at one of my favorite albums of ours? hell yes!

Aberdeen: waiting for the boat - classic

Amazing how many strangers in Glastonbury have offered me lifts & helped me to access the whole town. So disability~aware 💡

Oops I went into Glastonbury Goddess temple & actually had a good time 🪽🤷🏻‍♀️

A zine made at @gaada.bsky.social’s wholesomeAF Island Zine Club last Saturday. It’s a programme for *Headless!!!*, a musical I’ve been gestating this past year. The text reads: “Headless!!! The Musical - The Saint of Volcanic Wells - Jesus has a neo-vag & he is a fuckboy.” Cos he does, and he is 💁🏻‍♀️

💘

Ever wonder why David Lynch called Kafka his brother?

Classic Glastonbury breakfast companion: ex-US military guy turned tantric yoga instructor 🧘🏻‍♀️

Glastonbury...in a book 🕯️

27hrs door to door. Shetland Islands to the Isle of Avalon. Sometimes you just gotta do the thing.

Things got a bit choppy last night. This was the mild spot in the shadow of Fair Isle 🌊

Pastel goth Paddington goes on tour 👋🏻

Eau d'Bogbean perfume oils are now shipping!!! Look how cute they are.

Just decided that on Monday evening I'm setting off on a 27hr journey...to Glastonbury 🤷🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️

As someone who’s been in two cults, I understand getting taken in by Deepak Chopra and Peter Attia. Don't beat yourself up. You needed relief. Now you can create a culture of spiritual resilience and healing beyond those assholes. youtube.com/shorts/jCD5b...

2025 me could never have guessed I'd wind up getting back into Arthuriana. Oops 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here. We. Go....Grail raid!!!!

Really pleased with how my new story is going but I'm now at a fork in the road with it. Truth vs. facts. Remembered reality vs. fiction. The freedom granted by writing autofiction is mesmerising but extremely confusing too, especially when there's the possibility of rewriting (my) history.

Every time I have an intentional relaxation day I get so relaxed that my mind throws a hit of creative inspiration my way & I end up writing like the devil until 2am. So much for rest 😈

Let's hope Zack Polanski continues to speak out.

There is an abundance of writing craft advice out there but it all depends on you having clarity on what you want to do, and guess how you figure that out? Reading and writing more. No one can give you a map to a place that doesn't exist yet. No one can tell you how to make something original.
