Can’t resist a shellcraft, especially one reverently behind glass like a holy relic.
By heavens, the little treats are holding the sky up like cheap valiant toothpicks buttressing an entire crumbling cathedral these days, coaxing me from one to another like a breadcrumb trail of gonks & tchotchkes

Every trans person who says they'd rather not be socially murdered is an "activist."
Every blood-mouthed ghoul demanding our eradication is a "concerned citizen just asking questions."

God I'm so sick of how "Activist" is used to un-person trans people.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but was found guilty of criminal damage to her mobile phone.

Truly, the breakfast of champions.
I’ve been alive to apricity, marcescence & brumousness all casually happening the chilly, beautiful fuck out of themselves today.
Really a voracious little ariel gulping down all the ether’s ranting, mutters & plainsong. Everything irradiated with meaning & pathos

Going to the bookshop annual party this week, and they’ve asked everyone to come as book cover or in a costume inspired by a book. I’m not really a dress up person, so I’m going lowkey with a prop to make a favourite book cover. Can you guess what it is?

looking at a poetry anthology from 1947 at the British Library, obscure enough that I had to ask them to cut some of the pages (!)
here’s a poem by Oswell Blakeston and Max Chapman, artists and writers who were pretty much a lifelong couple

This time on Sunday is great for affirmations & goal setting.
By which I mean limbering up to let vague existential disquiet descend into the certainty that life so far has been a pointless, humiliating failure, with all the jaunty inexorability of a slinky pouring arse over arse down a staircase

I am realising it would be good to listen to vinyl on a better record player & even the most glancing initial online investigations have given me the feeling of walking into Screwfix or a bike shop or trying to work out what I might need to ask a plumber for
Little four pound fun in the chazzers today, I am most curious about Rainbow Dome Musick, the cover seduced me as did the sticker a volunteer had applied to it, which read: this is clear vinyl!!! It just sounded so thrilled & pleased it was infectious
