Who cares and all that but I've found the discourse around the Brooklyn Beckham "feud" with his parents (eat my shit if you've called it a feud btw) absolutely horrible. If you've never had to experience what it takes to become estranged from a parent maybe stfu about "a rich kid whining".

Taking this idea with permission 😁 I can’t promise I’ll do all of them before I forget, but I’ll do as many as I can. Or at least 2 posts’ worth.

The Swiss town of Davos is LOCKED DOWN by the army so Trump and his billionaire mates can come and talk about solutions to problems that THEY created. They treat our world like their own private resort. They want you to feel powerless. Never, ever let them win.

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle:
1. It's called a cockchafer beetle.
2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”.
3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake.
4. It looks like this, close up.

European goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper.
I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲
I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏

AND ANOTHER THING
I’ve lost somewhere between 11 & 12 kg since last March. Started unintentionally, then I realised & went with it. That’s 24-26lbs. How the hell do I look no different?
