Four and a half years ago, at a Nine Lessons show, I learned that the election had been won by the worst sort of leader - greedy, lazy, duplicitous - we have had two more PMs since then - whatever happens on Friday I don’t expect such levels of destruction to have been invited in

One of the things that saddens me about the normalising of the far right is that parties of “the sorta left” have moved to accommodate bigots as they believe “the masses” are far shittier than they actually are

I see James Cleverley had time to form an opinion on idles set at Glastonbury and condemn it - thinking that they were larking about and making light of refugees - I don’t think he knows idles very well

I have Covid, and now that the horrible fever and muscle aches have passed, I’m bored out of my mind! So to pass the time, I’m designing a custom deck of playing cards, for my own amusement

A while ago I was told off by some media types for calling some far right politicians fascists - the Overton window has swung so far and TV has been so welcoming to far right voices that extremes are increasingly normalised

I preferred to eat alone for a long time. I didn't realise that others viewed it as antisocial, but they did. Just another thing in what is likely a long list of things I did to look after myself that others actively judged me for and about which silently withdrew themselves from me.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

Listening to Bow Anderson after seeing her at Leftfield - great songs like 12 Minute Walk and Dear Body which are beautiful and have important things to say

My only disappointments at Glastonbury were whoever screwed up the tech side of Cyndi Lauper’s set - I love Cyndi Lauper - I still had a lovely time with my friends and I love Cyndi even more but this should have been even better and I worry about how she felt about it - love love love for Cyndi

Some Cyndi Lauper naysayers but I loved it - the downside was not her but clearly technical issues and her voice being too low in the mix
