Was reading Sort Your Head Out by @delaneyman.bsky.social as mental health memoir research to start with but genuinely enjoyed it.
I'm not even the target audience and I connected with it. Give it a read, esp if you're a bloke, a lad an average guy or ever worried about booze (even a little bit) 📚💙

I spent a very enjoyable morning with Jarvis Cocker last month, chatting about Pulp’s new record, fatherhood, politics, meditation, giraffes and loads of other bits and bobs. A privilege. Pick up a copy of this week’s Big Issue to read the exclusive interview - it’s on sale now @bigissueuk
