To mark the 20th anniversary of "All is Violent, All is Bright", we've remixed, partially re-recorded and remastered the title track. The video was directed and shot by Aaron Ryan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MkT...

It’s so good to feel the sun on my face this morning. The autumn sun is perfect, just warm enough to take the edge off the crisp, cool air. Mornings like this have poetry all of their own. I’m really trying to be aware of what’s happening around me and take joy from small things like this. Soulfood.

It feels like we are living through a scene from Dr Strangelove. One so absurd that it got cut from the movie! Alarmism, hyperbole, simplification and reckless accusations… it feels a bit like it all belongs in a political dark comedy, only the consequences are way too serious and real.

my next journalism article is publishing on SEPTEMBER 25 i publish award-worthy journalism every other Thursday last Thursday, on September 11, i published a piece about LOVELESS, the iconic album from shoegaze pioneers MY BLOODY VALENTINE junoryleejournalism.com/2025/09/11/g...

If only scientists danced on TikTok while publishing data, maybe people would start listening.

I take solace in staying within my bubble of friends, in my tiny corner of the world where there’s some sense of acceptance at least but I know retreating isn’t the answer when globally we are constantly faced with attacks, hate and waves of misinformation.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

Somethings I finish working on something and think that I might actually be a genius….only to try opening a push door on the way out by pulling… three times. 🤪

I’m just home from a walk in the rain, wind on my face, music in my headphones carrying me along in my own little world. It made me think about the privilege in these simple freedoms (to move openly & feel safe) especially knowing how fragile such moments are for many living in the US today. ❤️‍🩹

Well this, in the new @lrb.co.uk, is wonderful.

It’s that kind of morning, grey skies, sheets of sideways rain, silver light. I can’t get motivated to get up. How’s your morning going? yonamelon.bandcamp.com/track/grey-s...

I am other, still myself, always shifting, still becoming. Existing in the seam between names, stitched together by threads only I can feel. Pieced together from fragments, I emerged, both new and remembered. #BadPoetry #TerribleVerses #TransJoy #BecomingMe

I don’t like the things you don’t say…. m.youtube.com/watch?v=l8VV...

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today” #TransRightsAreHumanRights @independent.ie

Important UK Trans: Given the number of ppl escaping to the Republic of Ireland, our LGBTQ orgs have stepped up a gear to support people. The main LGBTQ charity is LGBT Ireland. If you call them, they can give you advice on moving to Ireland:

Now back to posting music… larum.bandcamp.com/album/the-mu...

1/ There isn’t a week that goes by without an Irish person being triggered by the use of the term ‘British Isles’ to describe Ireland. But a discussion I saw on here yesterday took it to another level.

Prog and wine combo hitting hard tonight.

Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is just let people exist.

Days are blessed when we get to hear new things Wendy Eisenberg has done with guitar. Especially when it happens with her bandmates in Editrix! Nimble technicality with the confidence to deploy restraint, as capable in peacetime as it is with a shredding bite, this is great rock music!

I hope my work brought you a little smile today. 😽 If you’d like to support and get exclusive purrs, visit: www.patreon.com/purrinink For prints, check out: www.purrin.ink Sending you lots of purrs 🐈‍⬛🤍

Being trans is weird, at least the ways we can half-articulate it to ourselves our whole lives. I primarily understood myself as just wanting to be a girl for some inexplicable reason I could never quite locate. But sometimes, when I was alone, I would just say the words "I am a girl" to myself.

Lights out, under the duvet, listening. Peace. youtu.be/gPPdpWOumuU?...

Heartbroken that this song still needs singing 30 years later. youtu.be/oDpmCh5QqeU?...

This needs repeating.

I needed this tonight. My storm has been tamed for now. Thanks to the kind ones. music.apple.com/ie/album/the...

Kara-lis Coverdale has released a followup to one of my favorite records of the 2010s. Going to need to live with it for a while, but I feel like this delivers on my high expectations! Expands what's possible & preserves what I love about her melodies. kara-liscoverdale.bandcamp.com/album/from-w...

Yes, I made it home safely. I didn’t want to go, I didn’t have much choice, but I did it and it’s done. I’m never leaving my sweet home again. Thank you all for the messages of support. It means a lot. 🙏

Mood: She’s the girl who lives on Heaven Hill

I'll be speaking at this event tomorrow. Haven't done this sort of thing since my TENI days. Looking forward to it. www.instagram.com/p/DJlwew9MjAF/

“Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of their humanity.” John Hume, 1998. Nobel Peace Prize Speech.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Live your life to the fullest. Fuck what people think.

Will Ireland be issuing travel warnings for Britain?

Just throwing this out there into the universe, showing my gratitude … I really love the Quiet Posters feed. My fav. 💕

That feeling you get shortly after making a recording, and you step away and leave it for the night…. but you know you’ll go back listen to it again another 10 times before falling asleep. Creative high. No better feeling. #musicsky #skymusic
