I verse over bops for a semi living and I’m kinda alright at tekken.
Hey Beautiful People
Tonight, @forwardprizes.bsky.social takes place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Mum Does The Washing is up for Best Single Poem Performed. Whatever happens, I'm so proud of it, and so humbled and frankly gassed at how far it's flown.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

There has never been a better time to live in a left wing echo chamber. There is not one idea that has come from the right in decades that deserves respect or even rebuttal. We are living on a warming planet with actual problems and none of them are solved by regressing into imagined cultural safety
