Monday mornings used to be touch, now I’m in a job I actually care about where I get to make a difference

The Scarlett Arts Society are looking for corporate sponsors for I’m Still Here — an arts-led project supporting suicide prevention education through creative practice. www.scarlettartssociety.org/im-still-here

It’s been almost 3 weeks since I started the anti migraine meds, and today is only the second migraine I’ve had since starting. Such a difference from having one almost every single day. Clears up so much quicker too - at least, to what’s I’d consider a “normal” headache

It was a real pleasure to join Safer Business Network, MOPAC, and the Met Police on Operation Adder. The operation uses a strong partnership approach to tackle crimes linked to drug misuse, while supporting rehabilitation (not criminalisation) of users. #OpAdder #SBN #London #MOPAC

Turns out my “waterproof shoes” aren’t quite so waterproof…

Super please to announce that I have recently accepted the position of Membership Ambassador with The Guild of Professional Photographers!

It’s my parent’s 41st wedding anniversary today. According to Google, land is an appropriate gift for this occasion… anyone have a shovel I can borrow for the day?

Is it just me, or was anyone else disappointed with the end of Severance? I was looking at my TV like “NOOOOOO”

I love the smell of rain

Went out and about with my camera for the first time in a few months. There was a “family friendly” flag march locally to me, which just so happened to result in me being assaulted and damaging my camera.

Pictures from 6th September NOT related to the assault #photographer #photojournalism

I last picked up my camera in July, let’s see what the weekend brings! #photography

I’ve been lucky to volunteer as a photographer for Sutton United #Disability #Football Club over the last couple of years. Last weekend, officers from the #MetPolice Sutton borough came down to play a friendly against us at Cheam Sports Club and it was a pleasure, as always, to #photograph the match

Thanks for highlighting the absurdity, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social . If billionaires can withstand $210 billion losses, fair taxation is not only feasible, but necessary. Millionaires for Humanity advocates for more fair tax system.

Had a lovely day with the family and my nephew yesterday. Being “neurospicy”, I paid so much attention to the tiny human that when he left, I didn’t know what to do with myself 😂

Ramadan Mubarak to all my followers who are currently fasting. Whilst I do not partake myself, I hope this Ramadan bring love, light, and harmony into your life #ramadan #ramadanmubarak

Masters Degree? Smashed it! If anyone wants to fund my #PhD, I’d appreciate it

Working my way through an #ArtsCouncil grant. Time to get my #nonprofit up and running!

Walking down my road in this ice, it’s like having a free slide

Whilst #StormDarragh is raging outside, I’m tucked up in bed with a beer rewatching the final season of Breaking Bad. Definitely not just using this as an excuse to be lazy on a Saturday night!

Just finished my interview for #disabilityhistorymonth - watch this space

It’s my last day on campus and, this feels so strange. 5 years of my life, suddenly over.

I think after 33 years on the planet, I’m finally the first person in my family to buy everyone Christmas cards!

Thought I’d already done this, until I had an email from #Twitter / #X today. Absolutely not - byyyeeee (F)Elon

I can’t remember the last time I was on a train before 7am

I love your work! I need to utilise Bluesky more

The #postgraduate #exhibition went well! So strange that after 5 years, I’m no longe going to be a student (but if you asked me 10 years ago, I never thought I’d be doing a BA yet alone an MA). Here’s to an amazing 2.5 years at #UAL

Finalising all my prints today to hang up tomorrow for the #exhibition. Wish me luck!

My goodness it’s got so cold recently

The #Mcrib is actually really underwhelming
