Are none of them attracted to the completely available option of being, say, the one guy who spent 90 billion on tackling climate change, and becoming, forever after, the most beloved man on planet earth, all while still retaining more money than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes?

Just finding out BBC's Patricia Hidalgo alarmed that UK kids arent engaging with UK tv cos they are focused on US online content. Eons ago when the BBC cut homegrown content the argument was clear. Divest from kids lives & they'll go elsewhere. Sad but inevitable. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

It turns out that #WolfAlice are great. I thought I didn't like them. I must have been confusing them with a band I don't know the name of, who I actually don't like. That awful, unknown band is, of course, still out there. I discovered my mistake by accident while dusting.

Love this mini thread 👇🏻. I too have music that is so precious I rarely allow myself to listen to it. ❤️
Now listening: Hounds of Love. Which shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s a favourite album. But so precious is it that I’d sealed it away; perhaps only one full listen in the last 15 years.
So I downloaded it. And for the first time ever I am listening to The Big Sky whilst walking under a big sky.

This piece is a superb essay about the ways in which racism is being normalised by the far right in the UK. Thoughtful words. And what it has to say about Theresa May and David Cameron jolted me and made me realise just how normalised racist rhetoric has become. For your consideration 👇🏻

The Otherhood play has been out into the world twice now and we are SOLD OUT and the shows have been going great. I mean, you have to take my word for it because who reviews theatre any more? But I would not lie to you. Ever.

News from yesterday: For folks interested in sketches - here's one I did during our @oldbirdtheatre.bsky.social #otherhoodplay rehearsal yesterday. For folks interested in threads/final draft conversation - the news is that there have already been 2 more minor tweaks. And so it ever was. Good day x

It was a full moon/lunar eclipse last night. We went out to see it in its big golden orange majesty. Magical. I love how looking up at the moon always brings me back down to earth. Humans have always been looking up at it with that sense of wonder & awe. Thanks moon. I did a drawing to celebrate it.

I continue to feel the dissonance of living in relative comfort as a genocide is live streamed. It's pushing my faith in humanity. But also the actions of folks like Global Sumud Flotilla remind me that people ARE amazing. globalsumudflotilla.org Every human matters. 🇵🇸❤️ Free Palestine.
