Uniqlo email describes a new collection as "inspired by British Modernism." I click, expecting radical irruptions of form and content, densely allusive polyvocal collage, the inescapable trauma of WWI, a crisis of faith under capitalism, fascism's pull. But it's just trousers.

A lovely review of BitBH. One statement I disagree with, though: “Kasper is generally oblivious to the dangers and worries which swirl around him...” Not the case. Look closely at his unique ‘language’ and you’ll discover he is keenly aware. #NoVoices cmreviews.ca/node/3137

Happy Australian book birthday for my 2022 novel, Boy in the Blue Hammock (although, due to being imported, it’s more like a stork delivery than an actual birth). I hope it finds a few readers. #Disability #IntellectualDisability #NoVoices #NewRelease dymocks.com.au/book/boy-in-t…

My daughter bought her first White Album on the weekend from a Record Fair. It was a beautiful moment.

Looking down Edward Street. Is it the 1950s? Maybe early sixties. Looks ominous, folks. That building on the left looms.

Well that was disappointing. I was hoping for strange creepy glitch art and it was just audio from some boring religo thing.
One of Ian Macdonald's sharpest observations is his description of the "sad smiling" final chord of The End.

#OTD in 1969, Abbey Road was released in the UK. Do you have a favourite track on the album?
Well now I’m a guy with King Crimson records. I hope you’re all happy.
Ever wondered how a QR code works? No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating. (Warning, there is some extremely nerdy shit here.👇 )

Okay look, I'm sorry about the salad cream. My mistake. My exposure to chip butties has been minimal and I have insulted your culture. I'm sorry. WTF though. Chip butty come on.
A third King Chuckles on the throne is a good opportunity to remember that 17th Century Britain was fucking wild. abc.net.au/news/2022-09-15/t…
One month until Boy in the Blue Hammock is available in Australia. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you haven’t encountered a character like Kasper before, Oz friends and readers. #IntellectualDisability #NoVoices #RepresentationMatters booktopia.com.au/boy-in-the-…
