Incredibly proud.

I'm so grateful for my co-editor Jess Anderson and her amazing brain. Every single contributor to this cluster is a total genius. I genuinely think we've done something really special here – please do give this a read! 🪩

It's here! Very proud of all of our brilliant contributors and delighted to see this out in the world. 🪩👔

Doing my occasional jump-back-on-here-to-plug-things to draw your attention to a fabulous cluster it's been my pleasure to shepherd into the world alongside its superb editors Jess Anderson and Carl White . Out Monday!

It's almost here! I am so, so excited for you all to read these brilliant essays.

For Secret Santa Jon Gilbert got me this absolutely cursed t-shirt of me explaining Swiftie lore to the Poet Laureate.

Such a lovely lunchbreak treat to visit the Treasures of the Brotherton gallery today Leeds Lib Galleries! Checked out their gorgeous 'Books and Benefactors' and 'Shifting Borders' exhibitions. If you're ever near Leeds Uni campus this is such a hidden gem! 💎

God I wish I were them.

Menacing Snowman, my favourite Christmas decoration in Leeds, has returned. He said >:)

Every year my mum writes me a birthday card 'from the cats'. I am 31.

Today I'm going through my Granny's old recipe books, and I've found some absolute beauties for 70s Dinner Party!

I graduated yesterday! Here I am with the Poet Laureate, who is my friend now (don't bother contacting him to confirm this, he's very busy).

Mr Toes just wanted to take a nice photo. Badger decided to ruin it.
