Stop the stitch-up! The Government wants to push through water legislation, locking in a failed privatised system for decades without giving the public a say. I’ve signed the petition to stop this water stitch-up and demand a public consultation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

I think "am already turning into" is more relevant here...

That'll do nicely for @folkeast.bsky.social

Sometimes if you want something to exist you have to make it yourself, so that's what I've done. For the Love of Print I'm bringing 25 Printmakers of Kent together for a Print Fair! Sat 1 Nov at Assembly Rooms Faversham. 2 min walk from station, 1 hr train from London, 30 min from Margate etc. Come!

I don't think I've ever read a book before that's so powerfully moving about grief and loss, but also so powerfully beautiful about love. Thank you @stonelands.bsky.social for writing this.

I just backed Correspondence: A little collection of queer tunes on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/que...

Just watched the local council meeting and I'm now more convinced than ever that anyone who wants a position of power shouldn't be allowed within a million miles of it.

Fuck. RIP Ozzy 😢 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

My fifth solo album, Needless Alley, is out on September 29th. You can pre-order it on CD, digital download, or blue translucent vinyl from the link below. Here's the gorgeous canal boat art by Alex Merry. jonwilks.bandcamp.com/album/needle...

If you want to know how old I feel tonight, tomorrow the daughter I used to take to Saturday morning kid's cinema is taking her daughter to Saturday morning kid's cinema.

Can’t the day seize itself for once

Another week, another opportunity for the Labour Party to dump on people... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and Yvette Cooper knows this

What a wonderfully humane and compassionate book by @horatioclare.bsky.social - the small boats stories that politicians and the media so rarely allow us to hear. (published by the ever-excellent @littletollerbooks.bsky.social)

We are struggling - I can't pay myself for June and bills will soon be due. I took the risk of buying quite a bit of new merch and it isn't paying off yet! Any purchase - of merch, of books - via our online shop will help enormously! Please repost if you feel able! Thank you x #BookSky

But Bob Vylan eh, they're the bad guys...

Sitting in the garden avoiding Love Island and HOW IS IT STILL SO BLOODY HOT??

Me too, mouse.

Yup

I just backed Wakefire : The Album on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/lad...

Dissent is treated as terrorism, while terrorism is just state policy. #PalestineAction

It's one of those afternoons when everyone's outside making me listen to their music, so I maybe they'd like to hear the new Martin Carthy album at a volume audible on the International Space Station...

Really, really looking forward to this!

Best of luck to ‪@hobgoblin.com‬ with their crowdfunder. Please consider helping to support this long-standing folk music institution. bmmagazine.co.uk/in-business/...

An excellent read 👍
