Bought a #CocteauTwins LP for goddaughter and marvelled at the merch in the @bellaunionvinylshp.bsky.social shop in #Brighton. Trip down mem lane to all the CT shows I saw back in the day. Then met @dearyband.bsky.social and chatted Hejira and Mancs gigs - their new one ‘Birding’ is superb. Buy it.

The pictorial space is a wall, but every bird in the world flies freely there. At every depth. Quote from artist Nicolas de Stael.

Our new art studios and workshop opened Dec 2025. We are 3 artists and a visiting artist space. We do art. That’s it. “Art makes things visible and then we can see”. Follow us on Insta @tine.studios

Hey Patrick is there a way to sign up outside of Meetup app? I used to use it (the app) but now it looks like you have to subscribe. Could be wrong but the user journey I just had to go through has made me delete my Meetup account.

It is preposterous for Donald Trump to say he no longer feels an obligation to peace…

Does the FIFA World Cup World Peace award not mean anything anymore?

@matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social I live adjacent to the proposed Adlington New Town development. I am one of the names on the petition opposing it. I do not know if you have already visited; but I am inviting you now to come and tell me, to my face, how ANT benefits people who live and work here.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Some folk have such a fixed version of reality that any contradictory truth is a threat. Similar to calling out racist sh*t and the person being offended by the label their behaviour is so clearly enacting. It’s also great when people tell you that your disabilities aren’t real. Ableism stinks.

I thought JCO was out of this kind of thing. Disappointing. Are you OK?

Have said the very same thing - almost word for word - twice this month already. In GovTech it’s all gonna blow. Then we’ll be able to get up and get on again.
