tempted to apply to be in the Traitors just to see the various misspellings of my name around the round table

wintry cemeteries > everything else

girls just want one thing and it’s an immensely foggy walk in a Welsh forest as a warm up for Nosferatu week

The much needed Christmas out of office is ON 💆🏻‍♀️🎄 no one talk to me about anything else except how much more cheese and gingerbread I might want

back in the snowy ol’ homeland 🇫🇮

the perfect delivery for Christmas #jeremydeller #wham

I only aspire to be as iconic as Emilia and her one word answers.

That stoic stare! The monosyllabic comment! Perfection!

Happy Finnish Independence Day to my fellow Finns 🇫🇮🕯️✨

Bringing back my favourite quote from this Finnish diva because frankly there’s nothing that captures the Finnish identity quite as well as this.

Translation:
“What does Finland mean to you?”
Emilia Friman, 6: “Nothing.”

Epicly Later’d in @nytimes.com, baby! Grab your copy of Patrick’s book from Anthology’s website 👇

‘There was a catalogue of errors – but once we opened, we were on fire’: how we made Fabric nightclub ‘We wanted to bring the underground to a bigger audience. We had Bono in the DJ booth once. No one recognised him. In that dark space, he was completely free’

It’s been a pleasure to work on fabric’s 25th anniversary celebrations as they map out their history in a new book by @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social. Cameron Leslie and Craig Richards spoke with @theguardian.com about the making of the the club - in print tomorrow!

the chaotic Christmas tree is up featuring some Christmas decoration essentials inc Edgar Allan Poe, Dolly Parton, broccoli, sea horse, jellyfish, bulldog in a tutu etc 🎄

Billy Childish: ‘I idolise myself. I don’t waste my time idolising other things’ The artist talks about old pop stars, not networking, getting lucky as a painter and earning the right to fart at the table

'People may think I like what I do, but that’s not necessarily the case. I do what I do. It’s just a hobby that’s got out of control.'

Hit that 1 week mark of relentless sinus infection following from an equally relentless two weeks of Covid so celebrated this with a very out of breath outing in the Welsh winter sun in a look that can only be described as Paddington core ☀️

This is as good time as any to note that I’m also on IG posting more work related bits across music, art, books, culture and more ✨

Stunning review of Vivien Goldman’s Rebel Musix in @theguardian.com - out now @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social ✨

To me, that's cinema.

7) The Holdovers. A flawless Christmas film that I can't wait to see again. A strange decision on the part of its UK distributor to put it on general release in February but it takes all sorts to make a world.

In Hell (also known as trying to catch an Avanti train up north from Euston station)

Hank Willis Thomas x Umbro collab with OOF? Of course I need this.

I also implore you to listen to the new Father John Misty record because I have now decided it’s brilliant as well.

Somehow sick AGAIN (when will this year end?) so I watched Elizabeth Sankey’s utterly brilliant, heartbreaking, harrowing and deeply personal doc Witches streaming now on @mubi.bsky.social 🖤

Highly recommend adding this on your watchlist.
