I had 9 sessions which removed the majority of my hair. The odd follicles grow back really slowly so i bought a home laser hair removal gun to kill them once and for all. No more looking like a monk when i don’t shave every morning.

I got laser hair removal on mine. No more shaving other than a quick run over with a razor or electric shaver every couple of days to catch any stray bits

And it’s a bop!

#TheatreSky !!!

This new exhibition has turned Manchester into a playable video game Family-friendly installation offers a very different kind of virtual experience - bringing people together, rather than apart.

Very proud to have produced this work for Factory International with artists BRiGHTBLACK, who co-created it with 14 Greater Manchester residents. Come along this weekend and spend some time in the clouds!

Working-class creatives don’t stand a chance in UK today, leading artists warn Exclusive: Analysis by the Guardian shows a third of major arts leaders were educated privately

We really don’t. That’s a plain fact

Part 3: Camp Theatrical Magic. The weakest of the three parts but a super accessible, coherent dance-theatre show. Delicious! #TheatreSky

Part 2: A very solid piece of dance-theatre. It’s lovely to see a sold out audience for international work 🥰

At @factoryintl.bsky.social this evening for Complicité and NDT1. Interval! Part 1: Satisfying but simplistic. Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3….

Arts Council England to shelve new funding plan after outcry from producers Controversial plans dubbed ‘worst idea in the world’ would have stopped producers from applying for new grants before current projects end

Glad to see these potentially disastrous sounding plans are being given more time and thought. Getting funding is nigh on impossible at the moment and this would have ended many artists and companies who are already struggling 💀 #TheatreSky

Why? It looks like a greatest hits!

I’ll need to check to confirm 🙃

How we watching?

Hello from Hanover where I am seeing brilliant work at Real Dance Festival with the #ImaginingFutures network ❤️

‘Worse than the 1980s’ – that’s the arts sector now. It’s not a good look for a Labour government | Charlotte Higgins So many pre-election promises: but still a cultural malaise spreads from our schools to museums, galleries and theatres, says the Guardian’s chief culture writer Charlotte Higgins

An interesting, if slightly bleak read. I don’t disagree though. The sector, (and its people) are hanging by a thread at the moment. This government needs to wake up quickly (before it sleeps walks into America 2.0 which is where it’s heading).

Get rid of all of them

I started using Hevy this year, after keeping a chaotic iPhone notes app previously!

Is this the Liverpool one?

“Even if thriving isn’t possible (which I really don’t think it is), protecting what is most important to us, supporting vulnerable communities across the globe, and ensuring a decent life for our kids can be possible and is worth working towards as best as we can.”

Depends on your goals. If you’re low fitness and have weight to loose, crossfit is high intensity cardio with some weights. You’ll get lean if you work hard. If you’re already lean and want to have bigger muscles or change your body shape, progressive overload with weights and eating is the way.

QUEERS IN BLACKPOOL - out now!

@queeramusements.bsky.social is a brand new queer arts festival in Blackpool that took place in 2024 and the incredible James Barnett (@makemeaoffer on TikTok) came up to make a film about it.

Popcorn at the ready and head to our website to watch: queeramusements.com

Oh my gosh the clown pants are fun

Pretty much never. I might read the first one and if it’s not necessary or interesting it’s over. I also skip dialogue in games like Horizon where they talk FOREVER and it’s mostly nonsense.

You really know how to treat a fella! (Also available on Netflix)

Get a bigger blanket and a decent cuddle buddy and you’ll be just fine

This sounds romantic and gorgeous tbh

Love this 🥰

What the heck! 👠
