When short of work, I take volunteer gigs as a sort of offering to the stage gods
So, if you're organising charity carols in London and another alto would be useful, let me know!
(Also if you need a jump-in for anything paid, I'm absolutely here for it)

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

This might be the best Humble Bundle I’ve ever seen. Just a loaded collection of comics from a loaded time at Image.
In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls uncover the most important story of all time in Paper Girls Vol 1 - 6.

Wham'd yesterday. With all the rickshaws playing it, this game's become impossible in London unless you play Whamincarnation rules (i.e. if you get Wham'd, the next time you hear it Whams you back to life)

We were watching a Muppet Christmas Carol and talking a lot about how much amazing work goes into the puppets. The credits rolled and we got to the credit line for “Muppet Milliner” and my friend spontaneously said “you know what….fuck AI to death.”

"Write! The written letter endures!" Scribal wit at the start of financial records for London bridge in 1424. Cleverly, the scribe created the letter 'S' by folding a speech scroll, so the form of the letter conveys the meaning of the conventional proverb, "speech is fleeting but writing endures."

the first time I saw “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” was the 4k directors cut on a big movie screen and it was literally a spiritual experience about how space is so big and we are so small and yet our small little lives full of friendship and love are so important
What’s your favourite movie that YOU KNOW is fantastic, and you couldn’t care less if movie snobs would say it “isn’t real cinema?”

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

$20 billion could end homelessness in the US

Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes
