Next week!

When people say Lynchian or whatever it's always the strobe lights and the surrealism and the whooshing ambient dread, and never that scene in Twin Peaks when Ben and Jerry excitedly eat too much bread and deliver their dialogue through gobs of gluten

"Don't let the arseholes take art away from us."

I believe so, yes! Yay!

Available from all the usual online booksellers, or via your local comics shop, or may spontaneously incarnate if you stand under a cold night sky and howl.

TONIGHT!

Happy International Women’s Day! Please continue to scream.

Is this … a Psycho dollhouse?

Grace Jones is an inspiration. 77, drinking wine, eating oysters, headlining a festival.

I Wrote a Cake and I Liked It When I worked at the Poetry Library, one of my side-hustles was a magazine where we printed poems onto food, read them at a live event, then ate them...

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

“Reviewed my band so hard the drummer’s legs fell off” is still so stupidly glorious

It's up it's up! Put all my heart and sweat blood and tears into this book, please support it!

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

If you read one thing today this is a tonic to the onslaught.

All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now

'the UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that... contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Thank you.
