friends fear I’ll never get the L word theme song out of my head

They could never make me hate Joyce x

my body reacts to packing for moving house by flooding my nervous system with cortisol at levels high enough that you might be mistaken for thinking i was being hunted for sport

the phrase “squeaky bum time” has the same effect on me that sunlight would have on a vampire

my new tattoo is at the unbearably itchy stage so if you catch me gently slapping the skin around it, mind your business

This is a woman whose entire livelihood was dependent on the LGBT community, and who made art explicitly and almost entirely inspired by (and in dialogue with) LGBT history and LGBT artforms (disco, house, club kids, avant-garde fashion etc). Of all the artists who could afford to be transphobic…

R*isín M*rphy now a generational example of someone fumbling the bag: on the eve of the release of what would have been her most critically acclaimed album, an artist whose entire fanbase is LGBT, decides to come out as transphobic… then, worse, she doubles down!!! Incredible scenes.

you don’t realise you’re a hoarder until you have to move and then suddenly there’s a folder full of every birthday card you’ve received since age 14 at the back of a bookcase

White and ginger cat emerging from an oval open-top litter tray

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

Don’t forget the Oscar he won for playing a trans woman 😬

celebrity traitors is going to result in an epidemic of people mispronouncing my name isn't it

for the avoidance of doubt, this album is, and always has been at least a 9.6

Pitchfork's rating for Peaches' 2003 album Fatherfucker. They have rated the album 3.5 out of 10.

when people talk about egregious/criminal Pitchfork ratings they often forget this one, which is Hague-worthy imho

Good to know!!!

thank you friend xxx

Thank you pal 🥹

made a music video for my new song, didn’t I

Eslam has worked so goddamn hard to build a community here, has contributed so much to everyone, and Bluesky keeps deleting her accounts over and over again.

A long haired figure with blood pouring down their face is holding out a hand towards the screen, in front of a backdrop of flames. The image is “dithered” meaning it has been replaced by a series of squares that simplify the image, not unlike pixelating. The image is pink and black.

features some very cool artwork which is a still from a forthcoming music video made by me and my husband @johnjames.bsky.social

some of you have been very supportive of my musical output in the past, and I've just released my first new song in about a year, if you care... if you don't, I also support and accept you, simply avert your eyes ffm.to/truefreak

The words “Maximum mental illness” in a navy blue box

moving house/recovering from surgery/training for potential new dayjob/releasing a brand new song tomorrow

The digital ID card sounds like a trojan horse to link your use of public services to your finances, your health records to your shopping habits and finance and your location to the police, to me.

René Magritte in 1929:

I know this is only the 100th most stupid thing she’s said recently but it irked me personally.

Irritated by C*ntrap*ints’ assertion that Beethoven ruined classical music and it should have followed Schubert instead. I adore Schubert but Beethoven is one of the most innovative, forward-thinking music makers who’s ever lived. Western art music had no choice but to follow Beethoven.

Dinsey+ was already on the boycott list so all this proves is that American liberals care more about talk show hosts than they do about genocide…
