Tries to write book. Reads book instead.

Loves unusual and obscure music, test cricket, retreating into history.

Not one to grouse.
You should give @robinince.bsky.social some love. Of all the people you know, he really deserves it.

Tell you what, those people are your friend if you'd only ask them. God, I'm so sad for my Jewish brothers and sisters today. You didn't cause this by being you.

I've been shouting at God, who doesn't exist, for such a long time now. It's a waste of a life.

Nothing but the very deepest respect for this fella. Kindness like a knife. I don't think for a moment that I could have done this.

Portfolio updated; it's been a busy December on the writing front. A very fun interview with Daniel Avery, a bunch of album reviews and End Of Year bits. Easiest place to keep track of my writing is here www.calcash.in

I think I slightly love the woman that runs the shop, but I'm going to have a sleep before I look at anything

What do you reckon 'like stink' is? When some thing hurts like stink, or goes like stink? What is the measure?

Instead of grieving, I'm pontificating to my brothers about music. I am your dictionary definition of a dictionary definition,

Just wanna say that I think Robin Ince is one of the very best people going. Support him if you can. He’d do the same for you.

I just lost my mum. And I don't know how to feel. Would welcome any kind words.

The ambulance lads were incredible and the NHS is this country's jewel.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.
