For local friends ( #Devon, #Dartmoor, #WestCountry UK), Chagford's annual Wassail takes place on Saturday. It's a free, folkloric, family-friendly event and all are welcome.

The beautiful art on the poster is by @matpringle.bsky.social.

Not in the Epstein files:
- trans people
- migrants and asylum seekers
- people who arrive in small boats
- benefits claimants

In the Epstein files:
- rich white guys who tell you (or pay people to tell you) to hate the people above

Two people outside the post office in the pissing rain and wind huddled under a child’s umbrellas complaining about immigrants getting benefits.

Get a grip England you degenerate little cesspool.

We look like the team with ten men that had a midweek European fixture. Embarrassing.

‘Volto Esposto 1’ reduction linocut print. Inking and printing the third layer of ink.

Inspired [very loosely] by ‘Berbarian Sound Studio’, ‘Don’t Look Now’, avant-garde electronic music, Peter Strickland, the music of Broadcast, Giallo movies and soundtracks.

As it’s LGBTQ+ History Month I thought I’d share some bits from my new book Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains (out in mid March) just to give a flavour of what was going on beyond the privet…

This morning; Junglist! compilation on Soul Jazz Records.

Reissue of the year and it’s only January.

Been to a club to see Mr Scruff play records - a phrase I’ve not uttered in 25 years - and my favourite bit was people doing daft robot dancing to Kraftwerk’s ‘The Robots’. Daft and obvious but joyously so.

Also The Headhunters ‘If You’ve Got It, You’ll Get It’.

Need a lie down now.
