Working class access to arts higher education is even further eroded in the Black Country. Solidarity with the amazing academics of Wolverhampton University.

Jeez A.

The huge impact that distress/stress has on cognitive functioning is fascinating. I feel a completely different person in terms of ability to communicate, perform, manage compared to three months ago. I don’t think I’ve had this version of me for a year or so. Welcome back.

I adore it

Apparently there’s a new train line in Birmingham. I am on it. The members of my family with the train ‘tism are very excited and making me document. There’s a stop called Pineapple Road.

He sleeps next to me on a little pillow when I work from home. He is 18 and very deaf.

A black and white cat snoozed on a pillow. He is on top of a table and infront of a bay window with white shutters and an Easter garland of eggs and carrots. Slightly behind the cat is a tissue paper orange and yellow Easter bonnet. On the cats head is a white homemade paper bunny ear crown. The cat tolerates this

Made the cat an Easter bonnet.

Pickle Pepsi not worth it. Not pickle-y enough.

Yoh might think the pickle mania menu at KFC is a good idea. So taken by the novelty you even visit that KFC with the dodgy reputation. What’s the worst that can happen you think? Well, past Tuesday me, Thursday me can tell you. In great, agonising detail. 🤢

I ate so many of these in Sweden last year that they began to taste of pure ammonia and I cannot even look at this photo without 🤢AND YET if you offered me one I would eat it

There’s a whole lit and philosophy range I warn you now

Photo shows a screen grab of the Henry David Thoreau in the woods baby book.

Best new baby gift. A personal fave.

An infuriating and heartbreaking read

Never walk past a Kennard. Always a good read!

Black Bag by Luke Kennard review – a campus comedy for our end times Drawing on a real-life 1960s experiment, this story of an out-of-work actor paid to cover himself in a black leather bag fizzes with wit and invention

Rave review for @lukekennard.bsky.social's new novel. HIs first, The Transition was both funny and profound, so I have high hopes for this one.

Don’t think I can reply as I want to in a public space to that 🤐

It’s devastating. Especially so as the Black Country deserves an academic institution and its people deserve access to all the joy and beauty of an arts syllabus that reflects them. I am so sorry.

Oh man

Happy first day of spring/ SSRI sunburn everybody

Thanks for this x
