Late night poem: En route back from a London gig. A woman needs the loo on the train. There’s no loo. She tried to piss on the platform. She’s drunk. Staff tell her she’ll be fined £500 if she does. She waits and pisses on the train seat. Just sits and pisses. Smiling. Laughing.

last year i got asked to do a gig for a private members group in a castle and i asked what the fee and expenses were and they said the lady of the house would be more than happy to give me a private guided tour of the castle.

Just searched 'are sore breasts normal before period'? It said yes due to peak progesterone levels but will subside when those levels normalise' and I was wondering who decided which week was the 'normal' personality week of the cycle? It's like saying Spring is normal and the other seasons aren't?

The reason why I cry listening to these old songs isn't because I want to return to the past. It's through music that I get to bear witness to all my past selves. I can see the girl and woman I used to be. She doesn't know I'm there. I know my future self is here, right now, watching these tears.

Great discussion of a fabulous poem @holliemcnish.bsky.social ‘Arguing in the Headmaster’s office.’ Made me think about how we can be sexist when we have conversations around how we dress. We need to change this and ensure our ‘judgement’ is equitable… Thankyou as ever @bedsidereading.bsky.social

RIP Virginia Giuffre. So sad. "The Queen poured millions of pounds into her son’s civil suit against Giuffre, The Daily Telegraph reported. And, as Andrew’s income is not enough to cover the £12 million ($16.3 million) settlement, she will reportedly be helping to cover those costs too."
