And I say this medievally-minded, discompassionate, morally atrophied cunt needs to stay the fuck away from important decision-making.

Hey - just to point out, there was no ‘admitting’ going on here - I was asked a question and I answered it openly. Thanks

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 #Sylvanians on crack.
...stirring up unnecessary public beef between women for popularity is the opposite of all those things and perpetuates the status quo. 3/3

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 twitter.com/SadiqKhan/stat…
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.
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.
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! #discount
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 feel like it surely must be a chore to have balls when it’s this muggy.
I also did not use the word ‘fling’, nor would I have - I used the word ‘relationships’.
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 ❤️👊🏼 #LetTheMusicPlay
What. The fuck.
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.
Any Institution welcoming #BrockTurner to peddle woeful schtick about 'alcohol' should be named and shamed for opening their doors to him.
. 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.

Dear , 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. #action

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.

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... 🧼
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.
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.

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...
I just opened a letter from a beautiful fan who wrote:
“Your lyrics remind me that I love myself.”
Beyond grateful ❤️ Music heals.
Well f*ck me, I’m off to do a gig.
Vertical audience, all on their balconies while I play on a roof opposite 😎🤘🏼

FYI, I believe that #SuddenlyISee which has been out for 15 years and by far my most successful song, is about to hit 100 million streams.

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
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..
Just pointing out that if someone told me this was a still from the new season of Handmaid’s Tale, I would not question that.

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.
