No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.
You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
“Reviewed my band so hard the drummer’s legs fell off” is still so stupidly glorious

It's a beautiful, poetic and moving book - one of the most perfect we've made.
If you can back it or spread the word that would be very helpful!

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

PONK is also a word in In The Night Garden - a noise the Pinky-Ponk makes when it crashes into a tree. You are right. It is a very enticing word. I stuffed it into a poem once.
greenlit.com/project/unfo... Well - this is scary stuff, but what's the BEST than can happen? Every little helps towards our budget for a two-week rehearsal and workshop leading up to a London industry sharing for www.unfoldingthemusical.com xx Your shares and comments keep this alive. Thank you!🎇
'the UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that... contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." www.thetimes.com/culture/film...
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

I had a good day yesterday. Baby red room at the BFI, Moonwalkers at the Light Room, catching up with so many people at the TS Eliot prizegiving, and some solid weird writing on the train. All good things.

If you make poetry comics, published or self-published, this is worth applying to!

A comic titled "I know the way out" in wavy block capitals, in white on a starry sky which fades from deep blue through aqua to fluorescent pink behind silhouetted skyline of tall, dense pine trees. "Chrissy Williams & Tom Humberstone" is written in pink. Next to it are a small pin badge of the same pines silhouetted on a dusky-blue sky, and a bookmark showing a human figure facing away from view, a glowing white silhouette with branching pink lines like roots or perhaps nerves radiating all over their body from the base of their neck. They stand in a pine woodland in shades of blue and black.
Just got my hands on this beautiful poetry comic by @chrissywilliams.bsky.social and @tomhumberstone.com. It's wonderfully written and illustrated and it's an artifact that cries out to be treasured and studied thanks to the way the art engages with it's printing process.
Get voting, pals!
