Nobody asked for this. But here’s a thread of outfits I’ve seen Björk in. I think. Some records are… hazy.

First: Shepherd’s Bush Empire - London, 2003

People who think hats are a personality are always cunts. *Cough*Caroline*Cough* #bbuk

Elsa’s made-up songs remind me of a cocky, attention-starved 4-yr-old. But TBH that’s kinda her vibe anyway! #bbuk

Barbra… Bette… Cher… three incredible, strong, unrepentant women who have always been fiercely anti-Trump and, “coincidentally”, pro-minority rights.

Let the divas lead the way.

Niko… Tameka… do we see a pattern here?

FFS.

Racism really is imbedded so deep in the subconsciousness of so many people, it’s almost incredible.

The soundtrack on #TheTraitors… I blame John Lewis.

This series, Boots, on Netflix… are they gonna do a Monstrous Regiment kinda spin and it turns out EVERYONE’s gay?

I will accept nothing less. And that’s what always happens in the other, um, “military adult thrillers” I’ve seen… 😳

Tomorrow is the triple-hit; Drag Race, Traitors, Big Brother… and we’re at the theatre!

Making a gay night even gayer.

Honestly THE WORST types of social media posts are “Here is my new puppy/kitten/foal/gosling etc - what should I name them?”

Bitch, we already know you’ve decided on a name - you just want attention.

I’M NOT USED TO ALL THIS ADRENALINE!!!

But imagine is somebody responded with stress or fear or blind-compliance instead of immediately becoming an assertive (angry) machine like me?

It’s just a way to cream money off of people.

And to involve a debt agency… And people think _I’m_ dramatic?!

Just had an intense 40 minutes of hardcore Karenning…

O2 passed on a “debt” to a collections agency… for a SIM card I never requested or used! Then I “failed” their security checks so demanded to speak to a manager (srsly; Full Karen).

They eventually sorted it out and no debt is due…

I had a blood test a month ago and the doctor who requested it still hasn’t had time to look at the results. This is after I was referred to him in February.

The system is broken. The system needs fixing. Resources and funding are the answer. Not privatisation.

The new series of Grey’s… quite surprised by the death, but she never really clicked as a character.

Now let’s get rid of Ndugu, Hunt and Altman please. And Meredith’s transplant boyfriend guy. And let’s send Jo and Link off somewhere nice.

Caroline being immune for a fortnight is bad for everyone. She IS thick. And she doesn’t listen. And she’s racist. #bbuk

TBH, I wish I’d made the effort but this was an after-3-bottles of wine Sunday night post IIRC

So tweeting that somebody should be killed is a jailable offence, is it?

Make your fucking mind up, Nigel. Are you the king of free speech or a snowflake? Can’t be both. No take-backs.

“I could do with a D”

It was a different time… and yet, still so very relevant

25 years since Spice Girls released their last, and TBH underrated, album; Forever.

But I still don’t know why it didn’t include W-O-M-A-N which they played at their live Christmas-in-the-Round shows.

My tattoos… they hurt… some solid block colour as opposed to my usual linework.

Paper preview…
