🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

Not going to lie, you'll probably see me post these a lot over the next month. It's the first time I've created a design with such a clear time limit to breaking even. Like, who's buying a gay christmas tree pin in January?
And finally, today, one year after launching my first LGBTree pride pin to help fund transition, I'm launching another tree!
This time the trees are decorated for Christmas as part of my winter pin drop!

When my friends and I were alcoholic 25yos, chain-smoking and drinking steel reserve on our band-house porch, giving each other homosocial haircuts, smoking weed and watching Wim Wenders movies all day, there was no one who's approval we valued more than the morally ambiguous forest-witch Baba Yaga.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.
Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Did you happen to leave your @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk purchases on the Metropolitan line yesterday?
Did one of your friends do this and send an anguished message to the group chat?
If so, Darren has just done you a very good turn. 👇

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.
