Monsta brings all the pigeons to the yard
Fabulous creature with a teddybear body, worm arms, a crow foot and a doll foot, pigeon wings, and a shrew head. They're in a park with pigeons pottering in the background

When I worked reception
A pursed-mouthed blue alien in a knitted jumper with short sleeves and ruffled shoulders, sitting at a desk, holding the receiver of an old-style phone that’s the same colour as their skin, the cord disappearing out of shot

@johnrobbofficial.bsky.social's The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth was a great resource when I was writing my piece on Edinburgh’s 90s goth club Earth Inferno. Here’s a wee sneak peek:
Excerpt from Ever's piece on Earth Inferno in the Queer Spaces anthology: "...social rules that regularly left me baffled. Communication was via a shared cigarette or drink, the excitement when a favourite song threw you all onto the dancefloor, the grinning joy as you connected with the stranger in front of you through the mutual love of music. There's the mainstream cliché that goths are miserable bastards but that wasn't my experience; we'd forged a space for ourselves and it was exuberant. John Robb highlights that 'the music was intense, powerful, and sometimes melancholic, but never dour. Most importantly, you could move to it." In Earth Inferno, I let outside pressures go: I was skinkleglam on the dancefloor, embodied present tense, pure immanence as music exorcised my rage, slipping me into sensual efflorescence."

We Pretty Pieces of Flesh is my book of the year so far. Set in Doncaster, Brown conjures teen friendship and travails so brilliantly. I loved being in the company of Rach, Shaz, and Kel; I’ll miss them (Shaz most of all).
Novel 'We Pretty Pieces of Flesh' by Colwill Brown lying on a bed. The cover shows two laughing teen girls framed by the red and yellow title of the book, the words scattered as if they'd been dropped from a height. Each word is in a different typeface.

Grant app fuel
glass of wine and half a glazed doughnut on a coffee table. The plate has Alice in Wonderland illustrations and the two coasters are: trippy blue owls against a bright pink sky; and a Mexican calavera looking bloody jolly wearing a flowery hat. You can just see some book spines: Cyborgs; Against Health; Beyond Words

Still always amazed how typing words on a screen makes me feel high. I love the writing process.
Close up of Jamis, from the Villeneuve Dune film, a handsome black man with bright blue eyes, partially obscured by the hazy light of a setting sun. He says: “We must move with the flow of the process. We must join with it. We must flow with it.”

If I could look like anyone in their prime, it would be between Pete Murphy, Andrew Eldritch, or Christopher Walken.

"During their brief four-year existence, Bauhaus attracted more bile from the intellectual music press than any other band of their era."

Current read

First book of the year. This is a great examination of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Also loving The Satanic Temple's mischief and activism
Book 'Speak of the Devil: How the Satanic Temple is changing the way we talk about religion' by Joseph P Laycock. The title is in large red capitals and the cover is a black and white photo of a Baphomet statue with two sculptures of children looking up at it
