Can’t wait for this new show with the Duckie Princesses 6th-10th Sept. I’ve got a new piece all about the pleasure gardens in the 18th Century and yet more putrid history from the British Empire. #LGBTQI #QueerHistory #Vauxhall Image: Not your Circus Dog performers in 18th C drag
It's in the church, the pub, the park, the railway arch, the architects, the community centre, the horses paddock, the courtyard, the back of a truck and the hole in the wall

Remember when Grant Shapps complained people didn't work on rest days?
Our new Sec of State for business & industry thinks we shouldn't have paid holidays or national pay bargaining... praising victorian level of workers rights.

In 2003, Putin made the first state visit to Britain by a Russian leader since 1874. He travelled through London in a horse-drawn carriage with the Queen.
Putin had been waging a savage war in Chechnya for 3 years. It didn't matter: we thought he was our boy then. How it works.
Enjoy the mix of biting satire, horror monsters and gothic art. All notes hit there. Thanks @wefail for your amazing work.

Solidarity with @stonewalluk and my #Trans #NonBinary #Intersex fam. The onslaught is relentless. More than a sniff of #RoyCohn and the #LavenderScare in the air. 🏳️⚧️⚧🏳️🌈💓
If you don’t know who Roy Cohn is have a listen to this excellent podcast from @badgayspod . Highly relevant today. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

ALT Me and Trixie with Atalanta Kernick in front of painting of me and Trix by Roxana Halls.
ALT Trixie in real life looking at The painted version of her in a marvellous ruff.
Finally going to #RebelDykes this afternoon at #SpaceStationSixtyFive with my sidekick and queer icon Trixie. I love this portrait of me and Trix after Hogarth by @RoxanaHalls. Am honoured to be part of the show and to have been painted by the hugely talented Roxanna 🏳️🌈
