Really good hands and feet from Seville in all kinds of ways And Songs for new girl bands that the industry haven’t planted yet Non-emergency exit Liberate yourself from mess and stress Junk the room like it’s your own damn tomb They say I can’t take it with me Just watch me try Stay exactly the same Can’t find the time to change Cant find it now the bed is made Carry your feet up the next mornings stairs Making sense of Big Time in their own damn mind Speaking now on behalf of all stuff Non verbal non stop Pile it up with grinning at the phone Eyeball the slow moving truck Frame bagged they’re going to get it Tomorrow lighter with each damn reason Who knew could be easy Just to watch it bare hand archived For something outside of physical media Won’t remember the envelope Won’t remember that language again

been all over tbh have lots to say about communism irl but here’s some stuff I’m thinking about today after watching Alien and researching for some new work - a pheromone fragrance that says it will bag u a chick - this red crystal necklace I keep being targeted for, claims it will get you the man of your dreams like it’s some kind of cursed amulet - this sugar man 3 track - this pic of Fassbender - this ad that makes you think you can drink a magic potion and be thin - this coat JLo wears in that music video - mum coming round and setting the garden up like this - this clip from the Vince McMahon documentary

## no returns It’s worse to be fat than to be drunk Falling up your stairs with a glee Stare at the open access end of the bed State the obvious and think about How easy it is to make the truth The salt in my system enough to keep the tropical fish in the terrace tank alive Infinitely more interesting to be alive today A Lease of life for a life on lease Shared ownership of what Which brick is yours and theirs Keep smiling in the queue at the bank Made up money with feelings Deep background is everything else I eat my way back from work to Your street and don’t stop there Camp out inside the house Remember me like this here It’s better to be fat and to be drunk

I make rounds of tea and toast at each reality crashing interval As if in my own interest I am in the Beatles documentary I am Paul of course and wearing the orange mohair jumper that costs less than a Harry Styles ticket Drying myhair in someones teenage sons room for the last time Paper towel and paper dress for the best character that feels right today Glad to be back in my head Mr Ben-ing thoughts for tomorrows made-up

Hi rat fans just some more 1- a classic Kathcore T-shirt on the 6am train 2- how i looked at the end of the job 3- paparazzi pic of vamps on set xxx

HOOKED on - - Zofia Rydet show at @thephotographersgallery - this pic I saw in the photobooth exhibition that looks exactly like mum - the film - The happiest day in the life of Olli Mäki - Living !!!!!!! #####Fever seasoning My rat family And my silver gelatine one It’s a big night to be here A big problem to eat The air is coming in from the factory Sweet hot honest air Sleeping sat up on a Friday, palm your stomach and face An egg, A-miracle Your hair down there, I’m-possible Everything is romantic when ya in here Even when my head is hot water bottled A surface so centigrade, ready rendered fit to love, scramble or fry Fever seasoned, grinning Peppercorns in the spokes

SMILE | LeftCoast x Morag Myerscough x Tatty Devine The styling for the SMILE piece, modelled by local resident, Katherine Platt, is inspired by joy and abundance born from communal action and sharing. It celebrates the warmth and positivity that come from people coming together - finding happiness in generosity, collective spirit, and the simple pleasures of giving and receiving. SMILE embodies the idea that shared abundance creates not just sustenance, but connection and joy. Katherine said: “It was so much fun. I was very nervous coming into it thinking, “Oh God, what am I going to have to do, what are they going do to me?” But everyone put me at ease straight away. And the clothes, the hair, the makeup, oh, it's just stunning, and I've loved every second. For a long time, I've not liked wearing different clothes because my body's changed as I've aged, after I've been ill, and so I don't know what suits me anymore, but this has pushed me to experiment again.” You can purchase the SMILE badge at @showtownbpl , @_auntysocial_ & @grundyartgallery - head to the Tower Tram Stop to find a 25% discount code hidden in the shelter.

HOPE | LeftCoast x Morag Myerscough x Tatty Devine The styling for the HOPE piece, modelled by local resident, Lizza Lane, is inspired by community gardening, drawing on the optimism of nurturing life from seed. It reflects the collective act of tending, growing, and sharing. This piece embodies hope as both a personal gesture and a communal force, symbolising resilience, renewal, and the belief that new possibilities can always take root. Lizza never thought she would be in a fashion shoot at The Grange in Grange Park, peeping out behind sweet peas, and sitting in a wheelbarrow wearing a cricket jumper. She said: “The whole experience actually made me feel like a star from get go. My hair and makeup by Cassie looked incredible, and filled me with confidence from the outset. Ocean and Charlotte made me feel so comfortable throughout. I found it easy to follow instruction from them, and most of all they made it so much fun. I didn't stop laughing until the very end!” You can purchase the HOPE badge at @_auntysocial_ & @grundyartgallery - head to the Tower Tram Stop to find a 25% discount code hidden in the shelter.

went to a weird archeology talk on Monday with Dad and loads of old peeps, talking all about this place near Notts where they found THIS. A Roman dodecahedron. What is it. What the helly is it. No one knows ??? Literally no one even knows and I can’t stop thinking about it And the man looked like Benny Hill And one of the slides the image file was called ‘juicy area.jpg’ and I loved it But what is it !!!!!!! Every hole is a different size ? Why theories please Top one atm is pen holder

DREAM | LeftCoast x Morag Myerscough x Tatty Devine The styling for the DREAM piece, modelled by local resident, Brenden Wilkinson, draws on the theme of the urban explorer. It’s inspired by the idea of looking at a familiar place with fresh eyes and imagining new possibilities - daring to dream of what this place could become, and asking: what might emerge? Brenden was photographed at @bplrevoelution and our award-winning temporary Public Square in Revoe on an incredibly wet day – but the weather didn’t dampen his spirits. He said: “I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the experience has been wonderful. My favourite outfit was ‘All About the Donkeys’ – especially the dream necklace, I just loved the colours. The whole shoot made me feel excited and grateful. Giving back has never been so much fun.” You can purchase the DREAM badge at @_auntysocial_ & @grundyartgallery - head to the Tower Tram Stop to find a 25% discount code hidden in the shelter.

FREEDOM | LeftCoast x Morag Myerscough x Tatty Devine The styling of the FREEDOM piece (modelled by local resident, Maggie Gregson at The People’s Pantry in Hawes Side) takes inspiration from the Grow Your Own movement, with its emphasis on creating abundance and freedom for yourself and your community. It explores freedom both personal and collective, through a lens of retrofuturism - imagining the future of food, growing, and sharing rooted in how things once were. A long-time volunteer for LeftCoast and the creative force behind our One Pot Wonders cookbook project, Maggie brought her warmth and openness to the photoshoot. Stepping in front of the camera was a new experience for her, but one she embraced. She said: “Today has given me some more confidence. It was out of my comfort zone, yeah, but the girls made me feel relaxed. I like the red nail polish, the red lipstick – it’s something I don't do, so I'm thinking, “yeah, I like that.” I feel confident and just great about myself. It's done me good.” You can purchase the FREEDOM badge at @_auntysocial_ & @grundyartgallery - head to the Tower Tram Stop to find a 25% discount code hidden in the shelter.

Thinking about whether truth about our environment or selves is something absolute or something we inherit/ reject inheriting And about how pigeons recognise themselves in the mirror And how in Sweden they have created street machines that birds can deposit litter into and get bird seed as a reward ### Someone else’s dream or someone’s else’s feet The town speaks to itself Through the ideas we’re told to be true Is anything inherent or total inheritance Original thought as dangerous as a borrowed rib The grub on your trainers The urbanisation of pigeons Can we too recognise ourselves in reflective surfaces Can we find the language to be wrong together until the router has only one password Feet are bound with hair as laces are tied together I’m working from home so yeah no need for these feet Let the crows pick up the phone and the nubs off the street
