some thoughts on @switchedonpop.bsky.social ‘s excellent Life of a Showgirl episode. No mention of Natalie Merchant’s era-defining album Ophelia where she also embodies various female archetypes the suffragette the mafia wife the nun. It feels similar.

Have just spent two incredible weeks at the Florence Academy of Art in an intense figure painting course. It was amazing!

I’ve posted this video on socialism for years and there were mild heart attacks on Twitter, somehow I think people will be more amenable now.

Im always fascinated by the huge hoarding walls that surround all building projects in delhi. Some have aperatures to allow tree limbs- the message being: don’t expect anything soon.
