Nobody asked for this. But here’s a thread of outfits I’ve seen Björk in. I think. Some records are… hazy.

First: Shepherd’s Bush Empire - London, 2003

I just had battered chips. Battered! Chips!

They were glorious.

God bless the north.

I slept on The Code at Southwark Playhouse and never got my shit together to buy tickets and it finishes on Saturday and now I’ll never see it and I love Tracie Bennett. 🥺

As someone with COPD and asthma, who has never smoked in my life and yet still has sub-haggis-quality lungs…

I endorse this message. Inhalers are not a “nice to have”.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

Don’t even! We have to manifest her living to AT LEAST 125.

Tennessee Williams was a big admirer of Joe Orton’s work. Yet they seem worlds apart!

I kind of worry that now Caroline will do the thing where she goes SO o.t.t that she'll make Zelah feel like HE has to reassure HER that it's ok. #bbuk

FFS. I did this once last year as well!

Calls Zelah a girl… and then immediately goes to George for comfort? We see you, Caroline. The veneer of metropolitan, culturista, Edina Moonsoon-wannabe is fading. #BBUK

5 votes for George. Easy. Elsa’s a vapid little Princess, but at least she’s not a bigot. #BBUK

When people want to talk to each other on a bus… but refuse to sit together and so just shout across the bus…

Hanging’s too good for ‘em.

She thinks she’s the Patrician but she’s just Mr Teatime.

A great reminder that no matter how clear you think you have made the meaning of your work, there will always be avid fans of it who nonetheless miss the point entirely.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

People (Americans) in the office dissing Nandos (Portuguese chicken via South Africa) and I become immediately, patriotically defensive.

Maybe this is how Starmer can rally us?

How has “unBritish” become some sort of pearl-clutching insult tossed about by the government? It offends literally none of their opposition because they label anything they don’t like “unBritish”.

Rich Tea biscuits? UnBritish.
CATS the musical? UnBritish.
Westfield Stratford? UnBritish.

Bet that was epic. I wanted to go see her in York at that tour but I wasn’t allowed (my parents wouldn’t take me 😢)

Weird how Tories keep talking about “Kemi”.

It was never “James” or “Theresa”. I suppose it might have all changed with Borris, but imagine the shills ever talking about “Margaret”.

Cameron K. Thought he was just gonna be a farm Tory, but he seems lovely.

How is #OneWorldUnderDoom stretching to 9 issues? It’s ridic. It’s not good.

They just want a thicker graphic novel to churn out for a couple of dollars more when the next Avengers movie hits?
