Dead as this platform is it's still first choice for checking if there's actually a power cut in Leith or I just don't understand my fuse board ⚡️

“Killjoy’ by Lou Mclean is a folky and punky rant that hits the target with a simple yet stirring singalong refrain. It’s devastating in its own right, but also a good set-up for the EP of the same name, coming next month.” 🥳💖

i think the constant demand for access to women’s bodies and faces in our album artwork is mysoginistic and boring

Dad… it’s been 9 years. In our family collection of blurry, squinty and poorly composed photos around the world, I found this - a typical Pratchett shot since we are 1)Not looking at the camera 2)focused on food and 3) embracing hat wearing. The trifecta. Miss you always. ❤️

Wish people wd stop saying gloomily that it took Tv to get the subpostmasters to the top of the agenda. This is (as Libby Purves has said I think) the real power of arts and drama (expertise that is being starved of funding) Message is: we need to fund the arts.

I’ve had such an emotional rollercoaster of a day & I’ve came on Twitter to see I’ve placed no2 in the #indie100cup, been nominated for best solo artist at the @InYourEarsMusic awards & 2 of my songs are up for best single. This is why you never give up. Always light at the end

After 18 years we have decided that Screaming Females is coming to an end. A lot changed around us over those 18 years but at our core we operated pretty much the same throughout. We funded and made the records we wanted to make. We did our own art...

Emily McDonald made a film about me, my work & the last couple of years of my life, on @BBCTwo tonight at 9pm & will be on @BBCiPlayer. It's personal, which is scary, but hopefully it will find its way to someone who will see some beauty in it & get some beauty out of it

Sorry to hear of the demise, after a long illness, of one of the greatest songwriters of my generation, Shane MacGowan. The Pogues reinvigorated folk music in the early 80s and his songs put the focus onto lyric writing, opening doors for the likes of myself and others.

Research shows that exposure to storylines portraying trans characters are associated with more supportive attitudes towards trans people and trans inclusion (e.g. Gillig et al., 2018) link.springer.com/article/10… #DoctorWho #DoctorWho60 #RepresentationMatters
