am i back on my bullshit riding around on charming old portuguese intercity trains on my own because mr dan isn't mad enough to join me? why yes 🙂‍↕️

a station mosaic saying "faro", the city where i got on the train. every station in the country has one of these mosaics!

looking down the platform at the station, with a blue graffitied train waiting on the left hand side

inside the train. it's old school comfort, with 2+1 seating and green curtains on the windows either side

the bar carriage, with a mix of white booths and higher stools facing the windows, all with the characteristic green curtains. i'm eating a sandwich and crisps - not the most exciting of the offerings

the latest in a series called "bribing myself to get a haircut". it's small now but i fear the bribe required to get me to stare at my own reflection for 15 minutes straight is only going to keep getting bigger

a large toasted cinnamon bun and a flat white - which is on a little wooden tray along with a glass of water and a little black soon, and has a slightly wonky flower latte art - on a black outdoor table

touché 🙂‍↕️ and you're closer to the truth than you think - if you look closely at the front of the train you will in fact see the DB logo!

and i didn't even have to get this train, i could have got a much quicker one 😭 work has been so busy and stressful and mr dan is away so i decided i deserved a treat. i went out of my way to get a posh welsh train with a restaurant. at least it was terminated before i could pay for the food 👀

inside a transport for wales first class carriage (used for its restaurant carriage). the train has big grey seats with tables and black curtains

the starter: a cheese and leek quiche, potatoes, and salad. i didn't get to have a main or dessert :(

He indicated that humanity's future would be run by "Queen Bees" (citation needed] He believed that women would become the dominant sex in the future. [224] He made predictions about the relevant

now we're recovering from our late night with harry with a peaceful kayak 🚣‍♀️

as before but with my sister sat in front of me, looking into the sunny distance

it's all waiting there for you 💋🪩

lorde be the kind of person to have wisdom like this just casually knocking around in her notes app

Every album that I make is me creating a container for a version of myself that I want to protect, immortalise, worship. I could see suddenly that the part of me that are contained in 14 are so raw and fragile and powerful but in a very tender fragile way and in the way that sometimes you see the young version of yourself alongside you as you move through your life, I could see the me that is the album, personify her, I thought oh my god she's so sweet and needs to be protected at all costs. I'm her protector and I'm gonna do an amazing job for her. Such a big beautiful realisation.
Feeling deep gratitude that you have this outlet, that your body can move stuff thru writing about it
wear your real clothes in videos, look like yourself, there's no wrong way to look The songs are in drag, they're your most raw ugly naked parts adorned and wearing insane armour

Learnt important lessons doing the what was that day in Fab's room at flux That you know what you're doing in the intermediate production stage Just find a way in and keep turning the rocks over ldentifying that production isn't methodical to you or sensible and that's ok No one knows better than you how to produce your own music Production elements as characters - the story of the production needing to make sense to you Also understanding what you're trying to do with Chant on a different level - this true amalgamation of live and synths and voice where each is exactly unabashedly what it is, this amalgamation working on old and new parts of your brain and body

Trust the process
You've just come off BC
You're not binging
Your body is doing so well for you
You're more in touch with how you feel than ever
You have direction at work
Everything is falling into place
Compassion in this tender stage is so important
You are gorgeous

There is loud applause from his staff and supporters.
He looks miserable.

good morning! forget lately, i'm riding them this very moment 😎

a view from a train window. the sky is grey and ominously dark. four tracks can be seen in addition to the one i'm on, and they bend to the right, so you can see the front of my crosscountry train (it's long, and the front carriage is red while the others are grey) as well as a smaller northern train on the next track. they are racing each other :)

i actually don't know if we mentioned it (?) but i really did give anton a paper ring! it was a little origami thing i made with a little pink heart (i don't have a pic but here's what it was based on). @aggiebobaggie.bsky.social i made one for you too just in case you made it, i still have it 🥲💍🩷

a couple of origami paper rings. the band of the rings are white but they have a heart on the front - folded from the same bit of paper - that are coloured

ugh this is the problem with the bbc. an otherwise lovely (if mildly condescending) article about harry's return to london but they have to find some way to put a 'but' in there!! you don't have to do this!!

But there was a question mark hovering over his new material, which has not been met with the sort of universal acclaim the 33-year-old has come to expect.

Kiss All The Time... was promoted as a dance record, inspired by Berlin's club scene and transcendental moments watching bands like LCD Soundsystem.

Instead, it delivered a watered-down facsimile of those sounds, that critics called "unremarkable", "obtuse" and "lacking in depth".
