'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.
'The Urchins' a collaberative work and installation, by architect Jin Choi of Choi +Shine, using crochet to create macro light objects inspired by sea urchins #WomensArt
I just want someone to make audio of a loud voice saying “PUT ON HEADPHONES” on repeat that I can blast out loud whenever people around me are playing their phones out loud without wearing headphones.
@BeckyLC_@ZilliJulio @mattspx Yes me too! I’m in east London on EE and can’t get reception in most rooms of my place, and not even in back garden. Unbelievably frustrating / thought it was just me 😬
Please say “died” and not “passed away”, @BBCRadio4, @Channel4News, unless you plan to introduce other euphemisms, like “spent a penny” or “came over funny”.

🗓️ 6 months into the Earth year – here's what I've been up to on Mars:
- Entered a region possibly carved by an ancient river
- Drilled my 40th and 41st sample holes
- Studied a major solar storm
- Reached a half-mile of total elevation gain as I climb up Mt. Sharp
one of the most british opinion pieces you will ever read in a newspaper (naturally the comment section is united with me):
i wrote about deciding to tell people playing content on their phone out loud on public transport to put their headphones in
