NEVER BULLY ANYONE. …and if you feel drawn in. If you feel that desire to get ‘one over’ someone in a more vulnerable position to you, stop and walk away! I was sat on the 20:45 bus home this evening. The warmth in the UK atm is wierd (weird but also worringly the new normal)Continue reading

I think my 20 year old self may have a lot to tell me tbh… As somebody who is slowly but surely coming to terms with realising he most likely has a neurodiverse mind, I would most likely find a version of myself more commited to celebrating difference than at any other point in hisContinue reading

The Return of Nasty

Of late I’ve come to embrace the term ‘hot take’. Always too scattered in mind and physical movement to be academic, I love a term that is short-form for “this might be a mad idea, but…’ – and it sits more comfortably with the creative minded. A couple of years ago Novara Media did aContinue reading “The Return of Nasty”

Randomly, probaby between two songs by The Cure:” High Just like Heaven

There again, don’t our ‘throw away’ moments of creativity sometimes turn out to be our most poetic, our must truthful? Barrett-era Floyd was short-lived. Yet in this oneContinue reading ““It’s a bit of a joke”: 20 years since 0oon Badger”

UK bank holiday and the 2026 council elections

One crucial lesson I learnt the hard way: you can’t ‘do’ politics when you’re at constant war with yourself. If you’re always criticising yourself, any dialectical opponent can easily perform character assasination on you with a well-timed verbal insult. (I recall a life-beaten Londoner looking at me with weary-yet-strong judgement as I tried to scaleContinue reading “UK bank holiday and the 2026 council elections”

Art/creative projects. But it’s not that simple. I can go for months, even longer lacking purpose and direction because I lack any ideas that have any sense of purpose and meaning. It’s how I define, and have defined myself: against a world in which I’ve never felt equipped for, or any good at, but awareContinue reading
