I have lupus/fibromyalgia, but this applies to all chronic illness - you only see me looking good, fit, and able, because I’m having a day that allows such things It’s no indication of how ill and incapacitated I could become, even within hours of seeing me looking well and dandy

Seems reasonable

casual cruelty toward pigeons will be repaid tenfold in your next lifetime

I hate how everything costing a fortune is so normalised now. What do you meeeean £150 for a concert ticket? What do you meeeean £100 for a train ticket? What do you meeeean £50 for a family to have a chippy tea? What do you meeean £7 for a single pint? Robbing bastards!!

Pavement’s “Wonderwall” — We need to bring back mean cover songs

Since the Taliban tried to silence us, we’ve raised our voices in defiance, singing for freedom and equality. We refuse to be erased. I call on all women around the world to stand with us in solidarity. Join us in this fight for freedom, justice.Together we are unstoppable.

Fair play to Heaton for calling this out. Obscene ticket prices are becoming the norm. We keep paying, they will keep charging. The premium package, the golden circle, the VIP ‘experience’. Springsteen, Swift, Oasis - doesn’t matter. At the root of it: pure greed.

Social media and the perpetual bombardment of unattainable beauty standards aside, the thing that has been most damaging to my self esteem has been those cameras/screens on self checkout machines.

Typical that people suddenly care about music fans being ripped off now they've experienced a thing that has been happening for years and we all knew it was going to happen on these tickets before hand.

Earlier, getting ready to take some new press photos in the garden

Can’t afford Oasis tix? Come to more grassroots gigs - you’ll never pay more than £20 for brand new, bespoke creations from people who value your presence & ear, far above how much money you have No dynamic pricing at your local venue that is definitely struggling right now x

An album 50 years removed from its original release but sounding just as vital as it did in 1974. Long live the genius of S P A R K S #Sparkstember #Sparkstember2024

In case you were wondering, yeah, we still need feminism.

Candles and a thunderstorm tonight - I don’t need anything else.

Just because someone you know isn't posting photos on social media doing this or that, don't assume they aren't killing it in whatever their thing is. The quiet ones are the ones to pay attention to.

Wow the internet really discovered the word ‘parasocial’ this week, didn’t it.

Caramelised banana chocolate cinnamon loaf 🫡 my first gluten free bake. Doctors orders, I’ve had to cut out gluten - if anyone has ideas/recipes for nice, not horrible, ultra processed bread, I would be eternally grateful.
