Happy release day to Frank Black’s new record, True Blue. I got to design all the artwork for the album, right down to the vinyl labels and the little sticker on the sleeve. It was loads of fun.

Before the term "ecology" came along, people didn't know they were on the same side. You care about owls, I care about the ozone layer - what does the destiny of charismatic nocturnal avians have to do with the gaseous composition of the upper atmosphere?

North Sentinel Island's indigenous people have lived there for an estimated 60,000 years. The island is similar in size to Manhattan and is located in the Indian Ocean.

The 80 to 150 individuals who live on the island do not practice agriculture and rely on hunting and gathering. Many attempts have been made to contact them but have been met with intense hostility.

In 1771, a ship from the East India Company saw lights on the shore of North Sentinel Island but did not investigate further. In 1867, an Indian merchant ship was forced to land on the island due to heavy monsoons.

After spending three days there, the crew was attacked with a barrage of arrows. They defended themselves with basic weapons until the Royal Navy came to their rescue.

In 1880, the British returned to the island and found a deserted village. They kidnapped six Sentinelese natives, but all became ill when exposed to the outside world.

In 2018, an American Christian missionary visited the island to convert the indigenous people. He encountered two armed Sentinelese who approached him aggressively.

Despite warning shots, one of which struck his Bible, the missionary continued approaching them, expressing love and religious beliefs. He was shot with arrows and buried on the beach, with his body still unrecovered.

i am so happy to announce the release of "oral" a single with @rosalia , tomorrow 21st of november

the profits will all go to stop open net pen fish farming in iceland.

this is a 25 year old song of mine i wrote and programmed inspired by a dancehall beat (the grandmother of reggaeton)

rosalia´s experiments with the genre and her incredible voice made her an obvious guest for the song.

i feel blessed she said yes and she and her team are giving their work and all the profits to this battle.

i think somehow there is an elegant resonance between the fact that both of our voices are the same age on the recording.

i would like to thank @segabodega for co-producing this with me and rosalia.

we have a team of people from the biggest environmental groups in iceland with lawyers that will take on other open net pen fish farming cases, I would like to thank them all for all their hard voluntary work.

industrial salmon farming in open net pens is horrid for the environment. the farmed salmon goes through immense suffering, and it causes severe harm for our planet. this is an extraordinarily cruel way to make food. the fight against the open net pen industry is a part of the fight for the future of the planet.

one of the most severe environmental challenge for the north this century is the acidity of the ocean. in the space of 5 years, norwegian open sea fish farming of companies MOWI and SalMar have already damaged big areas in our fjords , both marine life , animals and plants , which will attribute to that .

we can still reverse this. our legal cases on bio-diversity, cruelty to animals and more could become exemplary cases around the world.

Someone pointed out the bootleg merch stalls at Pulp's recent festival gig in Mexico were selling shirts with a wonky, nicked version of a drawing of mine. I feel weirdly flattered.

Hey MAGA, let’s say you were protesting with a bunch of people in tactical gear outside some kind of store for whatever dumb Fucking “anti-woke” fake reason and one of those people were to bash in the window to get inside, would you be like, ‘Nice, I’ve always wanted to see the inside of this store’ and follow them in taking pictures thinking that it would be totally cool with the police since you weren’t the one who bashed in the window?
If you would, then it proves you’re an f’ng idiot.
And if you wouldn’t, then kindly sit the f*ck down and shut the f*ck up about Jan. 6th being a “tourist visit.”
Because it wasn’t.

@Void0Reason @ask_aubry I have a metal ring with a long spike on its forehead. I have used it on men who wanted to fondle me. It is stressful to feel unprotected.

In 2019, watching Little Women alone midday a dude sits next to me and tries small talk. Thought he was just lonely. Around the end of the film he tried to put his arm around me. I jumped up and left.

Reading this makes me think, is this some weird PUA tactic?

Shortly after 9:30pm on Friday, 3 December 1926, Agatha Christie got up from her armchair and climbed the stairs of her Berkshire home.

She kissed her sleeping daughter Rosalind, aged seven, goodnight and returned downstairs again.

Then she climbed into her Morris Cowley and drove off into the night.

She would not be seen again for 11 days.
