@elizabethlovatt.bsky.social I’m ❤️ing your Lesbian Line book! Got about 80 pages left & am a bit narked that I have to go to work tomorrow instead of finishing it.
I read Galatea by @madelinemiller.bsky.social yesterday and then watched Mannequin again.
I read #NinaSimone ‘s Gum by @warrenellis.bsky.social today. Fabulous book i have meant to read for ages. Just gone for a run listening to her Philips recordings and heard Pirate Jenny in a whole new light. Wondering if the recording of the Meltdown concert has appeared yet.
please join us tonight to celebrate our competition winners! details in the link! mailchi.mp/d6293af64caa...

My mum died of alzheimer’s early Tuesday. My head is a mess. I wrote this poem after visiting the @foundlingmuseum.bsky.social @poetrywales.bsky.social published it. It’s weird to be posting this. I am reading Joyce’s Dubliners at the moment, in a roundabout way it has prompted me to do so.

Some pics from @listencambridge.bsky.social last night. Elliot Galvin, Ruth Goller, Sebastian Roachford & Mandhira De Saram made some incredible sonic art! The original congregation of the beautiful Unitarian Church would be amazed to hear such sounds from instruments they recognise.
