On this Black Friday, experiencing some frustration: two recent orders through small, independent companies - one sent me to Amazon to pay and to collate the order (I think Jeff took less of a cut this way, but 🤷♀️), and the other are using Amazon to deliver… 😭

4 hours of jukeboxing with 17yo after a hard/challenging/mostly good ultimately week for both, and feeling a-okay… (and have converted 17 to the merits of this bit of Joni…)

Dear Mahmood/Labour,
Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X.

Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)

Oh this.
the worst thing about the 2020s is seeing so many people i used to respect turn out to be transphobes, abusers, genocide apologists, or just indifferent to all of those things

Brum-ed it today with two very old friends (the best of people). I always find some architectural mish-mash to get over-excited about up there. 🩵

Just heard Theatr Cymru Artistic Director Steffan Donnelly talking about this on R4. Sounds amazing and a bit gutted I can’t take my 17yo (obsessed with Welsh and reasonably fluent thanks mostly to duolingo) to see it. What a very, very cool concept…! 🙌 🏴

Wish I was local! Any London people up for this…?
I am selling one ticket for Penguin Cafe playing the music of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra at Soho Theatre Walthamstow on Saturday.
Turns out the on-stage time is 6:30pm, and my wife can't make it. It's a sell-out, so if you fancy coming along and don't mind sitting next to me... fill yer boots.

Still pondering all the excellent music and sonic experiences from Line Up last night… Loved all of it (super well done for organising and staying sane[ish] @allownstunts 🙌 ). Ayu Okakita was a lot of fun - she’s playing at The Library, Oxford 3/11 if anyone is interested and local.

I used to dream in chapters as a child, picking up where I’d left off the night before. Sadly grew out of it, altho at uni a friend told me about the teeth dream, and when I then started getting it I would hurry it along by pulling my teeth out, thinking ‘this is Sue’s bloody dream, not mine!’ 🙃😁
