Hey to anyone who feels uncomfortable being around a woman breastfeeding in public: leave the area until they are done and/or until you can handle a mature level of life as a human. Babies and new mothers are way ahead of you in the give-a-fuck line.
I went to fill up the window washy water in the car and when I opened the bonnet, I found a full-tilt rodent nest on top the car battery with an EN SUITE BATHROOM where all the little shites were piled around the battery fluid cap. What the fuck. It was like

The Universe has conspired to deliver me a most badass New Years Eve for 2022…
I am thrilled to share I’ll be headlining TIMES SQUARE BABY!! 🗽🎆 I’ll be singing as the ball drops!!
My bucket list just got shorter 🥳🙏🏼
Had a glorious piece of fish from a chippy in Edinburgh at 1am this morning and the girl says “it’s massive” and I’m like lol how big can it be, and she hands it over and it’s about a quarter of my own body length. Honestly, it was maybe a fucking deep fried serpent. Magnificent.
How about instead of gender reveal parties, you just have a party to celebrate that you’ve realized that as a potential parent, you’re going to try and not be a twat.
Strongly disagree. Climate change is an existential threat to humanity. We’re not doing nearly enough to stave it off. Increase the protests, expand the civil disobedience, demand a new economic and social order that protects human survival
#ExtinctionRebelion
Confuses me when grumpy fucks give it ‘oh, album to promote then?!’ when we musicians appear on TV or get interviewed for opinion pieces - OF COURSE we fucking do, that’s how we make a living dullard. Music doesn’t sell itself. In 2019, it‘s fighting to sell much at all.
Hey folks,
Sending love & thanks in advance to those of you who will have to wait a little longer until I see you, but I promise I *will* see you soon - in rude (and rocking) health! 🙏🏼⚡️
Much love, KT x
I just bought a new loop pedal on eBay as Wee Bastard (No.4?) is bashed in, and the guy mails me back and goes, “are you KT Tunstall?! You’re why I bought this thing but I couldn’t work it out and now you’re buying it off me. Weird.” HA!

To all the cunty wee bawbags on here tweeting me that grassroots music wasn’t worth saving, it would take *millions* of you to add up to the power of this one tweet ❤️👊🏼

@BoogieDave
Hey, musicians who spent 10 years training for free to get good enough to have a career which now employs others & positively feeds collective wellbeing; remember when people told you to get a ‘real job’?
Those people lack a basic understanding of a life well lived.

@TRNSMTfest
If you are the organiser of something, and you don’t WANT a situation to change, and you put fuck all effort into it, then no shit it’ll take years.
Sorry, couldn’t find any pics of us playing guitars.
Maybe we should find some so we can ‘pick them up’ eh?
Imagine ALL the streaming services like

As
@maggierogers
said to me, there are so many artists who won’t be artists after this.

LOVE it when you write a new riff and you just fall in love...playing it over & over, not knowing where it’s going to end up... but you know for sure that it’s the start of somethin’...

, so disappointed to read this. Guilty. Not even on the sex offenders register. I’m usually proud of how Scotland conducts itself on important issues. What can be done? This is no justice for the child, her family, or other kids he may go on to abuse.

Christopher Daniel, 18, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 6-y-o girl. "Exceptional circumstances", thought to be the Glasgow dentist's "middle-class background, strong educational attainment and career prospects" mean he will not go to jail

BEHOLD THE LIVE BIRTH!! My new album ‘WAX’ is officially in the world!! You can now rock n’ roll to it anywhere and everywhere. So proud of this one, it’s new worlds for me. Love you guys, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. ❤️🤘
#WAX
To the cries of “multi-millionaire ‘stars’ should put their hands in their own pockets” - what we are asking is that government recognises that live music is as important to British people as sport.
The numbers say that it is.
#LetTheMusicPlay
This has made me angry. I want to shout a lot of things.
But what I’ll offer is that if everyone else had ignored the gvt instructions and behaved like this, there would be a fuckload more dead people.
Reprehensible.
It was pretty much *entirely* wrong
@MattHancock
I know how ill coronavirus makes you. It was entirely right for Dom Cummings to find childcare for his toddler, when both he and his wife were getting ill.
It feels like tweeting anything is throwing booze on a tyre fire, so I’m sending love. I keep wanting to burst into tears.
May this patriarchal era of sociopathy and wealth/growth rabies be healed by wiser, sweeter nature-loving, coding genius kids.
IT’S OUT! My new song

is now available worldwide. I’ve waited a long time share this one with you - Dive in. Learn the words, wash yourselves clean, with added electric guitar 🎸⚡️
Listen now everywhere ➜
3 times on stage tonight, I really nearly blew a snot bubble. I couldn’t help thinking as I played...it could have been really big, and impressive even, and you can’t stop playing, no free hand. So there it would stay, the coloured lights dancing upon it... 🧼
Had a flashback to library cards yesterday. The little muted coloured tickets tucked into the insides of the books, all the previous names & dates written on them, that amazing CLACK sound of the manual date stamp in the quiet of the room...what a mental trajectory we are on...
Well f*ck me, I’m off to do a gig.
Vertical audience, all on their
@PaseaHotel
balconies while I play on a roof opposite 😎🤘🏼
This is a picture of me trying to remember how to be a person.
The huge earning UK music acts already inject *shitloads* back into to the economy. Not just tax, but local economies & a vast ecosystem of jobs.
There ARE no massive UK acts anymore if there is no grassroots infrastructure to grow them.
Every one of them comes through that..
Shout out to anyone else who just had a gig involving what I will call ‘cunty stage bounce’ where the more you move the more your mic stand oscillates wildly back & forth, meaning that by the time you reach the ballad in the setlist yer fucking front teeth have been knocked out
OMG

I was told this by someone when I was trying to make it as a musician. I would have contributed drastically less in all ways if I’d actually listened to this kind of uninformed, closed-minded bullshit. Pretty sure I’ve paid back considerably more taxes than this clown Headmaster.
“Music is a hobby, it is not a career. It will not be supported by the school. I will not allow children to leave school to take graded exams. We are only supporting children’s learning.”
Unacceptable comment from a headteacher.
