I feel like i hallucinated seeing it once and couldn't remember but tbh if it's something that's been posted then I feel inclined to delete. I don't want to violate the code

The Fence @thefence.bsky.social · 2d

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

At a certain point it becomes prohibitively annoying to make layered images on an iPhone but that won't stop me

my dedication to the craft is such that I counted out the syllables in the NORE tweet to make sure it matched exactly. I can never stop

Brandi if I don't use this site to post the stupidest things I think of, I'll just start saying them to people in real life
