My book has just gone to printers. I'm shitting myself. It's in Polish, it's called "A Girl & A Gun", it's part essay, part memoir & it will look like this
Here's my article on the context to the Modernism in Ukraine 1900-1930s exhibition at @royalacademy published by the esteemed @tribunemagazine. My favorite work at the show was Semen Yoffe's 1932 mysterious duel/metaphor for the revolution tribunemag.co.uk/2024/09/ukr…

what a loss, Markov showed the tragic side of Russia & its dispossessed better than anyone else
Oh no, Dmitry Markov, one of Russia's best photographers, has reportedly died.
Favorite's the wrong word, but this picture of his, from his arrest at a Navalny protest in 2021, captures what's happened to Russia in recent years better than any other

Breaking my Twitter silence only to say that I can’t wait to get on the Windrush line when im back in London next month & to see the right frothing about it is great to behold!
Glad to see my tl full of Neil Kulkarni appreciation. His autobiog series in @theQuietus is gr8. To me he was one of the first to make me aware of racist undertones of some fav music of my youth and this piece on Morrissey from 2010 Plan B resonated deeply neilk.substack.com/p/on-morr…

'There's something intractably wrong with your paper'. This is the letter Neil Kulkarni wrote to Melody Maker about racism, whiteness and their music journalism that got him his job. No wonder. Rest in Power, Neil. X

Most innovative protestor interactive placard award goes to this guy in Paris, inspired by @muntazer_zaidi who threw his shoe at George Bush for his war crimes in Iraq. It has Sisi, Netanyahu and Biden’s faces on it
