In music journalism, people have invented genres and movements for decades It’s unsurprising to now see the Daily Mail is constructing a group called the “New Elite” to hate Some analysis… 🧵

So we made queer prom happen. Sold out our venue, made sure people had a great time, had a dance, raised some money for charity.

Setting up on the Friday was a bit of a nightmare - working in a marquee during heavy rain and wind meant we were quite delayed with preparing the venue - I kept on thinking about Fyre Festival and their storm the night before!
I don't post that much these days but I want to share a minor win - I've been part of a team putting together a 'Second Chance Prom' for queer folk in Nottingham, and today we sold out. I've been so pleased with the response of the community and support we've had.

Aah, I see #Heardle is back on the nonsense today. Genuinely never heard of this song or artist again - this song charted at 31 in the UK (I know the charts aren't the be all and end all but they're a reasonable indication of how well known a song is)
I think today's #Heardle is just the latest drop in a long slide towards the bin, since @Spotify took over it's been less fun. There's been so many very obscure choices - lots of things that never charted or got much radio airplay - niche music doesn't really work.

The hook of doing #Heardle was the joy of working out the song, especially if you recognised the chords/intro but just needed a vocal.. and had that 'eureka' moment. That doesn't really happen when so many songs used are completely unknown.

There was a group of us who used to play and compare scores, after the switch there was a lot of 'no idea' and 'never heard it'. That interaction has kinda gone, as it seems a bit pointless when you only get one correct song every few days.

Just to clear something up: yes, other countries have temperatures higher than what we are expecting and yes, “they seem to manage”. But they manage because they get high temps much more regularly than us. Let me give some examples: (1/n)

Job hunting is hard! I don't feel qualified for anything other than what I'm currently doing, which isn't much help seeing as I'm seeking a change. Anyone got any help/services they know of?

Feel really upset this morning, just popped into decorator centre to pick up some paint, and felt sad knowing I'm having to fold my business and give up a job I enjoy. This year has been really tough, I had a few cancellations when the energy price hikes kicked in, and I've

It's looked increasingly likely that carrying on is too financially risky. The past few months have been horrific for my mental health too, and the strain of running a small business in a recession would be too much for me, and be awful for my family too.

So I'm back looking for another career change. I could subcontract, but being Errol's primary carer, I can't really do the hours needed. So let me know if anyone knows of any job openings and helpful things, thanks. Nic
