Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
two men are standing on stairs in front of a wall with a guitar on it and a sign that says " love capitalism "

“I grew up in care, not prison. I say it like a fact, like my phone number, recited without thinking. But none of that matters, because they want an answer. ‘So, what did you do wrong?’” This is a great piece of writing by @matt-taylor.bsky.social

November 2025 is the first National Care Leavers Month, so here is a piece about the question I get asked most when people find out I grew up in care.

Very much this. I’m often at my very calmest when I listen to or watch the very loudest bands.
Always a joy to be blasted by My Bloody Valentine. Last night was also a tribute to Mani and for @thequietus.com I dug into the idea of extreme noise as a vehicle for calm and tranquility. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
I’m very wary of recommending that anyone should/shouldn’t do a PhD, but this looks really cool. The @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social and the universities have done such an amazing job so far, and they continue to discover more and display it in such an engaging way.
Looking for a fully-funded three year PhD, starting in April 2026? The University of Portsmouth and The Mary Rose Trust are looking for PHD students to undertake correlative multimodal materials analysis of the Mary Rose hull! #PHDOpportunities Interested? - maryrose.org/about-the-tr...
Don’t recommend putting your back out just before a strongwoman competition. I was looking forward to picking up the heavy things and right now I can’t even bend to reach said heavy things without pain.
I wish our Peej paid anywhere near this much attention when we put the theremin near her.

Saturday? @nathysg.bsky.social, @fortitudevalley.bsky.social, @thejustjoans.bsky.social and others in Cambridge. Tonight? Kneecap in Cardiff. Now? The need for much sleep. (Gigs are good, aren’t they?)

This was such a bittersweet newsletter to receive; @rachelhendry.bsky.social’s j’adore le plonk emails arriving was always a highlight, but the zine will no doubt be a delight 👌
I sent out my last ever j'adore le plonk on Friday. In memoriam I've turned it into a zine with the help of my friends @helenannesmith.bsky.social Otto Taylor-Rickard and @gergemanson.bsky.social I think we've made something very beautiful - pre order's are now live! www.burumcollective.com/jlp
Never normally feel like I am missing out by not having fully noise cancelling headphones. But I’ve spent the past 90 minutes on a train with a bunch of football fans getting louder and LOUDER AND LOUDER and aaaarrrrgggggghhhggggggngbngnggggg
And the reason for being in the Barbican… @psbhq.bsky.social matinee with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Absolutely stunning.
Well look who’s in pride of place at the Barbican gift shop! Nice work @desfitzgerald.bsky.social

If you want catharsis then an evening with @lessavyfav.bsky.social is the best you can get. Some of the greatest to ever do it.
This was such an excellent show. Our vertigo-inducing seats also offered a brilliant birds-eye view of Neil’s theatrics in Our Mutual Friend.
Last night's show at the Bristol Beacon with photos by Lee Trewhela. Big thanks to the superb Studio Electrophonique for opening each show for us, go and follow them on instagram: www.instagram.com/studio.elect... #TheDivineComedy #StudioElectrophonique #Bristol
Small joy to get to the end of the working week: tea from my Star Trek mug (and yes, I am wrapped in a blanket, it’s cold ok?)
Am very lucky to have access to all these things, but giving blood, having a lengthy hospital appointment including bloods being taken, and having a flu jab in the space of 3 days has left me pretty wiped.
Cheekface was right, quick touch all the dogs!
