I snapped this very pic last night as well as a bunch of others I really enjoyed. SUCH a good mag.

I saw that. I meant... anyway 😏😉

Utopia literally means nowhere. AIUI the very point of it is that it doesn't exist. Nor does it have "traditional components". It's not that old a coinage. What hole was this article pulled out of

The vampire girl developing deepening remorse and horror as she recovers at what she must do to keep living while her living best friend becomes a vicious serial killer feeding her victims to keep her formerly deceased best friend ’alive’ is one of the most interesting takes…

Maybe that's what Lecornu is doing when he resigns - quick ten minutes of charging before he forms the same government again

Front cover of the Jackofficers album, an absolutely dogshit side project of Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes IIRC

Uncanny... Although I'm finding it difficult to believe those photos aren't AI generated tbh

When you think of all the people who never came forward & the children growing up traumatised without knowing why... Unspeakable, untellable horror.

This old post has done the numbers this week, for obvious reasons.

Obscure Distances, by Adonis, trans. Khaled Mattawa.

Happy #smallpoemsunday

OBSCURE DISTANCES

Whenever my hands gather her things
and bend like wheat stalks,
like a horizon unharvested,
a light passes through me silken-stepped,
its path studded with thorns,
and silence begins to call out my name.

My house and I in midmorning light,
a flower grown old
and a dead swallow's beak.

Now you mention it... Not just a dumb cliché but actually incredibly inapposite isn't it

What does your post have to do with what I said? It's sleight of hand to reply to a post clearly referring to the phrase "truly anti-imperialist" by pretending it was about something else. Or cowardice - trying to have the argument you would prefer. Either way it's the last thing I'll read from you.

Don't tell me there's been a massive under-citation 😂

What's anti-imperialist about denying Ukraine self-determination?

I mean uf there's one way to convince people there's been a massive over simplification, I think we can agree it's by stating it without expanding on why, in the slightest. This guy should be doing comms for Your Party, they need communicators like him

Not interested in reading or talking to the author, whose attitude to what I think of as the left I had ample time to observe before I left Twitter, but I do still occasionally wonder in idle moments why that NS crowd still identifies as "left" & what it entails to them. Guess it doesn't matter tho

Do you know how to make a ham sandwich, though. Or stage an ambush without making all your soldiers kill each other immediately. Because if you do... You're not cut out for Brexit negotiation, I'm afraid

Classic incident all round by the sound of things. Relieved to hear it wasn't worse!

Omg! Were you hurt?
