There’s no doubt 2025 has been an emotional rollercoaster. I hope to make my final ceremony of the year in London a place where we can gather together & honour positivity in the face of aversion, with the spirit of creation and magic.

caught a quick glance at this today in the supermarket and was THRILLED

Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times.

People are sitting up and noticing @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Christmas is looming. Books make great gifts. If there is anyone in your life who might enjoy a signed/dedicated copy of one/some/all of these paperbacks (even if that person is you) drop me a line.

Reflecting on the journey of 2025 & assessing all that’s been in this Chinese Year of the Snake... many skins have been shed. Within my own world and those around me there have been powerful lessons learnt. I stay curious to what has been shown to me and continue to learn.

#NP Penelope Trappes | Æternum

Just to note that the 45 rpm vinyl cut of Æternum is simply wonderful, there's such a great 'presence' on the pressing. The minimal art also works a treat, as does the inclusion of an Agnes Haus polaroid. To be treasured 👌
