I wish it was possible to fix typos on here, cause literally every single one of my posts has something… *and cite, not at. Obvs.

Hooray for the Internet Archive for allowing me to access at cite a book published in 1906, for free, without having to leave my couch.

An excerpt from my thesis:

"I am not, after all, Mr Brightside, and to date, I have never stepped outside and screamed from the top of my lungs "what's going on?", though it doesn't seem an unreasonable course of action in the current global climate."

• Indiana Jones and the Same Sex Double Burial Who Were, Like, Probably Roommates or Something
• Indiana Jones and the Series of Small Walls
• Indiana Jones and the Object of Probable Ritual Significance That Looks Suspiciously Like a Seggs Toy

My hand in the foreground, flipping off a statue of Christopher Columbus

It’s apparently Columbus Day. Here’s a picture of me flipping him off, because fuck colonialism forever. #LandBack

A cross stitch in a hoop hung on a dark purple wall. It’s of the torrent of swear words from the film The King’s Speech.

Sunday stitching the sweary scene from The King’s Speech

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather and finally getting round to blocking this crochet jumper

An envelope with a sharpie drawing of a seal’s face, with the words “seal of approval” written beneath it

My friend picked up a miniature of a selkie at Tabletop Scotland, painted her up and and posted her to me. This is apparently in exchange for the screaming possum I crocheted him a while back. I love these sort of creative exchanges!

Memento Mori Monday!

This is last week’s #MementoMoriMonday, cause hoo boi I’m not well!

Feeding garden birbs is so damn good for the soul

Heeeey, so I got covid and then a lung infection on top of it, and it’s rough as hell. PLEASE mask up if you’re coughing, and wash your hands.

Y’know what I realised last week?It’s burnout. It’s f’cking burnout with a heavy side order of being an AuDHD, queer, disabled woman with cPTSD trying to complete a thesis and work in equalities when the world is an enormous bin fire and oh look, there’s ableism.

Ehh, yeah, it’s sitting on a stone step or wall in cold weather that does that..! #ScottishGrannyMedicalScience

I’m gonnae start prefacing my info dumps about cemeteries like this

Autism and painkillers, hell yeah!

Long train journey in first class.

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.

Oh my.

we know intimately what the real threat to women looks like. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat. Not trans people. Not in our name. NION Women icon.

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day.

⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023)

⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023).

It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.
