Another reminder that I have a 25% sale on at my art page this weekend. Sorry to be a pain.

Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

A parody song on sexual harassment with guessable topical references, "Men Can Say No" 🍒🎶

If you find it funny or interesting, then don't JUST like or reshare it. Please immediately buy our Christmas single (came out Friday) & has raised over £14k: orcd.co/universalchild 🙏

TODAY'S RELEASE DAY for #UniversalChild! We poured all we could into #AnnieLennox's song - we have no music label or publisher, just a lot of effort & a shedload of wonderful supporters. Please help the song fly for @savechildrenuk.bsky.social by sharing this & buying it

I remain obsessed by how much this publicity photo from Spaced looks like every British Xennial's First Houseshare Photo. The poses! The sofa! THE LITTLE BAMBOO TABLE FOR THE LANDLINE WITH SPACE BENEATH FOR THE YELLOW PAGES.

Happy International Men's Day! On that note, here's a familiar song to hum that we adapted with the amazing Prostate Cancer UK four years ago, when Alfie & Tom could sing high: youtu.be/IkVLe_qI2dw

Get tested = save men (like Grandad)
