As it is international moon day, I’d like to share this little book which means, well - the world to me. It’s full of me and my life as seen through the perspective of the moon. I’d love it if you bought a copy or even shared it

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychology—unlike most MPs—I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t “incentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP

Just digesting the fact that I sold one (1) mug last month in the gallery I usually do quite well at in the summer. So if anyone needs to find any gifts, my online shop is always open. Prices from £10.

Popped in here & blocked a new follower whose bio said "self confessed Harry Potter nerd".

For years I read & enjoyed the books, but Rowling using their vast wealth & profile to fund transphobic legal actions & stoke hate, fear & misinformation means I will not separate the art from the artist.

Round of applause for this social media person
On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"
