The White Pube

I'm off on one. This week's text is about the new Twitter account Chaotic Nightclub Photos. It's also about the wider genre and history of nightclub art as it has existed since the mid 1800s. It's also about paparazzi, Wolfgang Tillmans, memes, Tabloid Art History and Studio 54. As I said, I'm off on one. I hope you enjoy!!! 

You can find the written version of this (with loads of pictures!!!) under the Misc. section of our website here: https://thewhitepube.co.uk/misc/

This week's text is something a bit different. It's not a review, it's not an essay, it's kind of just a story. So it makes me nervous, but here we are all the same. 

I don’t want to give the game away, I don’t want to let you in on the big secret. But this is fiction… slightly, sort of. This isn’t real - oh, but it is. I don’t know what to tell you, you’re just going to have to believe me.

Thanks, as always, to our friends on patreon, and especially to the patreon gang on TWP's Discord server. i am so bad at naming texts, so thank you sincerely for helping me come up with a good title for this :)

This week's review is on Old, M. Night Shyamalan's 2021 release about a supernatural beach. It appears the filmmaker has a track record of exploiting disability for horror in his films but I don't often watch films so I personally had no idea. This text is me working that out 💀 

You can find the written version of this on The White Pube. Thanks for listening! And thank you especially to our Patreon/Ko-Fi/Paypal gang for supporting essays like this. 

We’ve known each other since 2013 but now we know each other on quite frankly an unnecessary level after recording this episode lmao. Using a few decks courtesy of So Cards, we ask each other questions and end up discussing smoking, Zarina’s dream job, education reform, how our exes don’t exist, IBS in public, taxi drivers, becoming Jack Grealish, and of course, our shared praise kink.

You can find the transcription for today’s episode on thewhitepube.com/podcasts

sorry in advance for all the TMI

TW: discussion of disordered eating

This week's text is about hunger. I don't know what it means anymore and that scares me, but it's ok because it is aimless, empty.

Do you ever... cheat? I don't. No, I would never. Or I wouldn't. But then something happened that meant I started to cheat all the time. This week's text is called Learning to Cheat! You can find the audio version on our website here BUT I have actually made this text into a video that you can watch here. It's something I've wanted to try for a while and this text felt like the right one to try it on. Let me know what you think!

Thank you to everyone that supports us on Patreon, Ko-fi and Paypal!! We couldn't do it without ya

This week's text is a chunky art thought about the problems with London. Why is it so hard to be an artist, or an art worker, in London? Why is living in this city so fucking hard? What’s the problem with London, and WHY does it have a problem in the first place? WELL. I investigated. I spoke to: Haja Fanta, who works at HOME by Ronan Mckenzie; George Henry Longly and Prem Sahib, who run Ridley Road Project Space; Arman Nouri and Kwame Lowe, who work together as Kin Structures. I asked them a couple of questions, did some digging and now I'm here to tell you about the answers I found :)

This is 2nd episode in the our new series where we revisit the Big texts we wrote before we started this podcast! In this one, we revisit Zarina's 2020 text 'I hate Dishoom.' It caused... a ruckus online. How does she feel about it now? Was it even that deep? Did the owner of Dishoom get in touch and did they meet up to discuss it? Find out on the latest episode of the white pube podcast wooo & if you want the transcription for this episode, it's on our website here

This is a review of Beat Saber, a game I've been thinking about for years. It's a game I have only played once. When it was time, I sat down and wrote the review in one evening, which never, ever happens. But I just had to get this one off my chest, I think, and when I was ready, it was easy because all the words were already in my head.
