I'm not on here much, but I am so excited to share the cover of my forthcoming Catullus translation, featuring an amazing painting by Eduardo Mata Icasa (called "Nature of Emptiness"). As soon as I saw the painting, I knew no other work of art could more perfectly capture how I think about Catullus.

I've connected with very few ppl on dating apps because I am picky.
But, for too long they've all been allowed to treat women like a commodity.
So, basically the minute they say or do something stupid, I am terrorising them.
It's going so well. It's fucking hilarious to be fair.

You can care about someone but really not like the person they are currently.
And that's okay.

My friend: 'What happened to your friend X'
Me: 'She sent me a weird break up text on a Monday at 08.30. 3 months later she posted a book I lent her back with my full name on the envelope. I live alone...'
Her: 'what did you do?'
Me: 'put in back on the shelf'
Her husband spat his wine in my face 🤣

My bro. "Have you said anything to gf?"
Me: 'No????, why. Is everything good now?'
Him: 'yeah. It's fucking awesome".
He wouldn't tell her what was making him unhappy. I actually fucking like this one. I really do. 20 years of nasty women.
*I sent her a message. Never tell the silly twat 😉

I am notorious for breaking wine glasses.
Last time my neighbour came over, I was like you're gonna have to drink it out of this tumbler 🤣. Anyway, today she msgs and says, do you want this? I hate it.
Hell yeah. I'm not 50 but I am fabulous (and also not precious) 🤣🤣🤣

I told my friend of almost 20 years how I felt last week, after she moved away without seeing me. I drove her up to Scotland to start her MA. I wrote her mum's eulogy because she couldn't. She has broken a part of my soul. She has replied but I've archived it. I am not sure I can forgive this.

The attacking of the BBC, consistently, tells you where we are heading if we do not make a stand before it is too late.
It's not perfect. It never has been. But it is still the institution that is not owned by facist billionaires. And we have to protect that.
