being gay in Britain meant living in the shadows
I grew up in a time when being gay in Britain meant living in the shadows. The 80s were loud with music, fashion, and rebellion, but silent when it came to positive queer representation... At Sixth Form, being 'different' was enough to make people afraid to be seen with you... Music became my friend, my voice, my protection. HEAR THE VERSION THE WORLD TRIED TO BURY“Quick truth.Streaming is convenience. Bandcamp is support.If you want the real version of what I create — the full-quality […]https://jayleebenjamin.wordpress.com/2026/08/29/being-gay-in-britain-meant-living-in-the-shadows/

Slave wages for musicians and artists on Spotify and many other major platforms, except bandcamp and Amazon
Now I'm going to be honest here, at three pence or less for each stream that you get you can see that you have to have over like 10,000 or more to even get something stupid like 10 pound and so that's not really enough money to pay for services and to save money you have to do everything yourself. So years ago I did this video and to help artists by giving them real money even if it is 50 pence for a song please go to bandcamp Click on link 🔗 for music in comments or bioWatch video by […] -

Facebook: The End of “You Didn’t Ask for This” Advertising
Facebook’s advertising model is built on interruption.You scroll, and Facebook throws suggestions at you — products, pages, groups, videos, political content, emotional triggers, and behavioural predictions.This model is now legally vulnerable.Three things will change first:1. Forced Suggestions Will Be RestrictedFacebook will no longer be able to inject content you didn’t ask for simply because the algorithm predicts you might react to it.2. Behavioural Targeting Will Be LimitedThe […] -
“Symphony of Solitude” by JAYLEEBENJAMIN
"Symphony of Solitude" by JAYLEEBENJAMIN Symphony of Solitude is a song about the kind of loneliness that comes from being visibly different in a world that rewards invisibility.It’s about the years spent walking through life feeling like an outsider - not because of anything you did, but because of who you are, how you look, how you speak, and how people project their assumptions onto you before they ever bother to know you.Growing up mixed-race, gay, and visibly “not the masculine […]https://jayleebenjamin.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/symphony-of-solitude-by-jayleebenjamin/

Music single”Symphony of Solitude” by JAYLEEBENJAMIN 2
Symphony of Solitude is a song about the kind of loneliness that comes from being visibly different in a world that rewards invisibility. It’s about the years spent walking through life feeling like an outsider - not because of anything you did, but because of who you are, how you look, how you speak, and how people project their assumptions onto you before they ever bother to know you. Growing up mixed-race, gay, and visibly “not the masculine template,” you didn’t have the option […] -
THE COLLAPSE OF AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISING: FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, AND THE NEW RULES
ARTICLE THREE parts 1For more than a decade, digital platforms have relied on a simple formula:predict what you want, push it at you, and keep pushing until you click.Facebook perfected it.Google industrialised it.Instagram and TikTok normalised it.And YouTube built an entire creator economy on top of it.But the Meta case has changed the direction of travel.The legal pressure applied to Meta is not limited to Meta — it applies to the entire advertising ecosystem.The behaviours under […] -

Amazing turnout for #NottsPride

It is a beautiful truth that all men contain something of the artist in them. And perhaps it is the case that the greatest artists live and die, the world and themselves alike ignorant what they possess.
Walt Whitman
-
Words, words, words, are the stumbling-blocks in the way of truth. Until you think of things as they are, and not of the words that misrepresent them, you cannot think rightly. Words produce the appearance of hard and fast lines where there are none.
Samuel Butler
-
For war is hell, and those who institute it are criminals. Were there even anything to say for it, it should not be said; for its spiritual disasters far outweigh any of its advantages.
Siegfried Sassoon

To understand Vers libre, one must abandon all desire to find in it the even rhythm of metrical feet. One must allow the lines to flow as they will when read aloud by an intelligent reader.
Amy Lowell
-
From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue.
Gertrude Stein

The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel– a solution of why Democritus laughed and Heraclitus wept.
Horace Walpole
-
A sort of egotistical self-evaluation is unavoidable in those joys in which erudition and art mingle and in which aesthetic pleasure may become more acute, but not remain as pure.
Marcel Proust
-
If we must die, O let us nobly die, / So that our precious blood may not be shed / In vain; then even the monsters we defy / Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
Claude McKay
-
The stars went out and so did the moon. / The singer stopped playing and went to bed / While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. / He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.
Langston Hughes

All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality — the story of an escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times — how to escape.
A. C. Benson
-
The more we delve into the essence of personality, the more we learn that in this world, certainly rich with natural beauty and things worthy of seeing, nothing is more attractive and worthier of knowing and experiencing than people.
Magnus Hirschfeld
-
Under the sun the summer grasses fade. / The rose, expiring after the harsh ravage / Of the heat, languishes toward the shade. / Sleep drips from the foliage.
Renée Vivien

Romantizar el pasado también es una forma de esconder sus violencias.
No todo lo antiguo era mejor: a veces solo era más injusto.

Fate was kind to that oyster we know / When one day the chef from the Park Casino / Saw that oyster lying there / And “said I'll put you on my bill of fare.” / Lucky little oyster...
Cole Porter

There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?
