We didn’t get Books Council Wales funding, it would've meant 5 years of stability. It’s a blow, and it means a rockier road ahead, but our commitment to ambitious, inclusive, working-class publishing stays firm. If you want to help: buy a book, spread the word, or donate:

Here’s a pressed-flower resin tray I made for my mother a while ago. With winter approaching, it’s definitely crafting season again - I’m looking forward to getting started on some new resin and clay pieces soon. #crafting #handmade #resin

The recent debate on Twitter has worn down the thin layer of optimism I’d been clinging to about the world and about how people generally relate to one another. Some might say that’s healthy, but I’m not sure. There’s a point where realism ceases to be grounding and starts to become paralysing.

Exploration of a landscape that started with the sketch of a tree branch. Vintage papers, found and painted papers, and hand drawn sketches.

I recently bought this polka dot Cider jumpsuit in two separate colours - brown as well as black. It’s suitable for everyday wear but has the comfort level of a pair of pyjamas, which is a plus in my book! I’m quite partial to buying multiple colours of the same item when I find something I like. 😂

We commonly equate vulnerability with outward struggle and interpret visible success as evidence of security. Yet partial or earned privilege such as educational attainment can mask deep structural precarity.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.

You made a difference—so much of a difference.

Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Here is my Lana Del Rey inspired Halloween look — “Lana from Temu.” 😂

I went to a silent disco this Halloween for the first time, which was pretty fun!
