I'm never going to be a labubu person. I don't want one of those things staring at me while I'm asleep. It sounds terrifying.

Lose bag at festival containing beloved band hoodie that was a limited reprint = 😭 Find out there's actually still limited stock of that design and the only size left is my size = 😍

In direct communication with download about this. They wanted to make clear that they will NOT be policing the bathrooms at all and that the customer service person who sent out this email should NEVER have used that wording in the email.

Transphobia has no place at festivals (or anywhere for that matter). All the love and solidarity to the amazing queer and trans folk who have worked with Download to clear this up. 🩷🤍💙

I'm gutted we're losing such a special band in the UK scene, yet at least they're going out on their own terms. Thank you for everything, Svalbard 🖤

Proud of my colleagues at NME for covering this important story - and I wrote this one. Big love to all the artists demanding greater clarity. 🏳️‍⚧️

Propaganda I'm not falling for: - being a 'high value woman' (🤢) - 'you shouldn't kiss on the first date' - not wearing a band's merch to one of their gigs - hating on olives - playing hard to get - waking up at 5am - labubus (sorry)

Thought of another one - salads without any carbs in them. You're telling me this pile of leaves won't have me feeling hungry again in an hour? I'm gonna need some pasta/rice/couscous with it please and thank you

I caught up with Bambie Thug in the latest print issue of Kerrang! to talk about overcoming imposter syndrome, why they always had a protest song inside them (which you'll get to hear soon) and their shows with Babymetal and Poppy: kerrang.com/bambie-thug-eu…

And let’s not get it twisted ! We know that the fucking toilet debate is very low on the list of priorities of trans issues that should be in the limelight right now, but it is so important that trans and GNC people are able to use facilities they feel most comfortable using.

Happy Pride Month to all the amazing queer and trans folks out there. I'm with you, always. And in a time where the threats to the queer community's hard-earned progress are so grave, allies - we've got to fight even harder. 🌈

This year I've seen live music in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Hatfield, Portsmouth and also, for some reason, Stevenage

One of the best things about my job is that, in interviews, I frequently get to hear so many other people's different ideas and perspectives on the world. Sometimes, it makes me rethink my own. There's a lot of artists who have inspired me in ways beyond music. 😊
