Been told I'm at the bit in my career where I'm waiting to be "rediscovered"

8 hours labour, 8 hours putting flags up lampposts, 8 hours rest.

(do your ideas another time.

Like Janus I'm looking back while trying to look forward but can't tell where it's gone so wrong. I just can't get a gig.

Been playing a lot of bad art notes for the past few years, trying to work out if it hurts more to quit or carry on.
I have absolutely zero opportunities in my failed art career. It has gone from being my livelihood to now just a very expensive hobby.

If you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note that you play that determines if it’s good or bad.

Horrible to hear this, solidarity 💯

Artists are now acting like independent coffee shops all which all have their slightly different nuances. Look at me selling at you because what you want I have, I'm slightly different than the other coffee shop down the road but similar enough you won't get scared. Pair me, group me, thrill me.

It hurts to quit and it hurts to carry on.

London full of new balance mums today, Ha-LO! How are you?

💯 make it more similar to touring cars

Can someone write something relevant on the current relationship between Degrowth to De-Globalization

I just read the first sentence and thought, instant cunt.

Am I the only person in the world who's really not interested in Ed Atkins.

if you get interviewed as an artist you should answer all questions with a question, but if you're going for a job you really shouldn't do that.

from the "The Honey Badger" of Ricciardo we have "the Honey Trap" for Yuki Tsunoda

Gen z calling April fools day misinformation day 😆

Arranging books by colour is a hate crime

I remembered it was Mr. Keech?
Mrs Ballard was too Victorian for a Motor car

I remember at burstow Mr Lee had a Saab 900 and another teacher had a yellow jeep? At oakwood there was a couple of 2cvs

If you love your mum so much why don't you marry them.
