If you don’t have one at home, simply bend over and yell up your own cavernous arsehole. Stay home, wear a mask, be nice to people in service industries who are risking their lives. Twat.

Why Did My Dad Collect Baked Beans?

A true story of 200 tins — My brother, CJ, lives in an empty house he used to share with our dad. There are three bedrooms, an overgrown garden, a kitchen, living-room, and a cold, damp outbuilding where the washer and gardening tools squat.

Move the Fuck Over, Please

How roller derby taught me to take up my space in the world. — I was halfway through a dramatic weight loss, when things started to plateau.

Thank God You’re Fat

I pray I never see your bones again, Mum. — I am not a religious person. Still, I try to be consciously grateful for the things I have. A roof over my head. A persistently patient partner.
