I like it, a bit of a disco feel

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Your fingernails may be dirty but your rings are fantastic!

Personalised means I know I signed up for it which I find helpful

Popes are chosen by God, making them the ultimate Dei hire

Ice rink was playing Madonna, Britney and Christina during my lesson tonight. I don't know who was picking the music but they were a certain age and I love them.

Large empty utility cupboard

Today I'm filling this cupboard. Genuinely excited by the prospect

I got on one leg for 3 seconds while ice skating! Yay!

Fun time watching the eclipse with eclipse glasses. Then took them to the recreation ground where all the kids had a go. All initially too cool, then incredibly excited

Stainer’s Crucifixion, with a choir made up of Ely choir members plus randomers like me and my mum

Ely cathedral

Spent the day singing in Ely cathedral. Pretty impressive venue which made it extra special

Fragment of coloured embroidery with old handwritten label saying Textile design of Humming-birds, Ancient Peruvian (Nasca)

Ancient textile fragment depicting hummingbirds excavated in Nazca, Peru. Embroidered using dyed animal fibre from llamas, alpacas or vicunas, which absorb dye more easily than cotton, producing more vivid colours, this small object, still with its vibrant colours, dates back to 400BC-AD500.

I'm currently making stuff in my craft room, while watching unlimited good tv on a huge screen. Earlier today I went to the cinema and played on my roller skates. Child Ellie's mind would explode with joy.

thank you for your work today, it's appreciated

Pink roller skates

Successful lunchtime patio skate in these beauties. However, I can only stop by smashing into the garage on one side and fence on the other. This may not be the best approach.

The unbridled joy of dogs catching treats German photographer Christian Vieler has been snapping these amusing shots since 2013, when he bought a portable flash that allowed him to work with shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000th of a second.

@wednesdaygj.bsky.social calling my Glasgow expert for this foody, literature & art loving friend

My next project (fly screen) involves a staple gun. I’ve always wanted one but never had an actual need so held off. Yay! Stupid tool shopping time!

@merylf.bsky.social interesting one for you

Beaker as Renee Zellweger on the cover of Harper’s bazaar.

i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of harper’s bazaar: thread

@rogger.bsky.social it sounds like they made a film for you

I strongly recommend getting to the Medieval Women exhibition at the British Library if you can. There's lots of incredible women, but most interestingly for me lots of nuns using religion to live their own lives.

Want a monkey? Become a nun! Want to wear a pretty dress? Become a nun!

This morning's plan involves this beast of a Sharpie (standard Sharpie for scale). I'm excited to use it

A giant walrus, the size of an elephant, sits on a fiberglass ice platform, in a display hall of a museum. It has long white tusks and pebbly brown skin. From Atlas Obscura: "Walrus, standing proud (photograph by Tom Natt)"

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.

It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.

This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.

I loved Emilia Perez on Netflix. A musical about a Mexican drug lord who transitions to being a woman and starts a new life

Ancient Egyptian ivory sculpture of a leaping dog. The ivory is now biscuit coloured. Dimensions: 18.2 cm (L) × 6.1 cm (H) × 3.6 cm (W) A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth. The inside of the mouth is red. The eyes are outlined in black. Dated Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC.

Something lovely for the weekend! A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping hunting dog opens and closes its mouth, as if barking, by using a lever below its chest. 📷 by me
