Short girl appreciation day? Ahem @aidwill.bsky.social!

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

I love this mantra and I'll do my utmost to make sure I do!

I remember my parents buying me this on vinyl for my Xmas that year. I still have it. I feel old...

Had this after my very first mammogram. Turned out my boobs just have areas of micro-calcification which are totally benign. I had biopsies and 3 titanium markers implanted. Never been so scared when I walked into a cancer centre. Other friends haven't been so lucky. Gey checked!

A proper treat for you! 🎛️ New mini #BBCRadio3 series, every night this week 9.45pm #Electronicwomen From Daphne Oram to Laurie Anderson… only 15mins each night, before NightTracks kicks in HP x

Techno day! Might put some tunes on and dance round the living room to mark the occasion

I cannot emphasise how important it is to get screened for whatever you can. Trust me.

Tunashamed

Taiwanese ambassador to Finland performs with his metal band at Taiwan-Finland cultural event! 🤘✊️ That's what I call great ambassador

I mainly stock up on beer. I don't drink much in the house as I'm usually drinking at the pub but it's always handy to have some at home especially in the run up to Xmas. I also need to find a pair of new boots as my old ones have died - that's proving more challenging...

How to destroy somewhere without actually touching it...

I can see @jaunty.art liking this

I am coming to ABERDEEN www.aberdeenperformingarts.com/whats-on/rob...

Started C25k for the nth time... However @govindajeggy.bsky.social whispering in my ear and the stunning blue sky and sunshine of the Agadir beachfront made it all perfectly bearable!

100 days until X**s day?! More like 3 days to my summer holiday day for me ..

I'm rather impressed with the varied beer selection available!

Just finished reading "A Numbers Game" the first Mal & Jackie book by @rjbarker.bsky.social (or should that be Dark). Well that was a rip roaring rollicking good adventure. More of this please!

Yes, yes it does

TBF I found a PhD easier than learning to ride a bike. Still can't ride one...

That second photo is giving off definite Scottish morning roll vibes...

Depressing how little has changed in 48 years...

He's never anything less than hugely entertaining!

One of several places I visited when stuck in Stockholm thanks to a certain volcano exploding. An absolutely stunning thing to see.

I wish as many people wanted to actually click on Teen Vogue stories as like a post about our work being good and important, because this post is almost at 20k likes and that would be pretty good traffic!

God yes. This. As someone who didn't quite do as well as they should have done (ahem) in their Highers but still ended up with a PhD in science from Aberdeen Uni, today is but a step in a long road. Things change including you. Wish someone had told me that at the time...

We'll two thing I'm definitely celebrating today - my love of beer and being child free!

Wolf Hall is on my iPlayer watchlist. Time to give it a rewatch I think. Absolutely brilliant the first time round.

We teamed up with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social to explore the humanist approach to life in a new animation for children. ‘Human nature, human potential’ is the latest resource from @humanismedu.bsky.social, our programme supporting humanism in schools across the country.

And it's also #BeatHerder day! Off to dance in a field for 4 nights to an absolutely amazing line up!

@aidwill.bsky.social this was not me! Maltesers are definitely my favourite but I will also very happily accept Minstrels 😁

This dental phantom was made around 1900 for dental students to practice their skills before treating real patients. A hat-maker’s dummy has been added to represent the head of the patient. The jaws contain removable brass teeth allowing various dental procedures to be practiced. (RCSIC/Z 149)

I'm sure there's a joke in there about asking for their location in the Doric dialect but I've only just woken up. I'll leave it to @jaunty.art

Two things today I can get behind - misophonia and durian. Am I the only person who actually likes it?

Why did I think of @ladylugosi.bsky.social as soon as I saw this?

71 years ago today. 7th June 1954, Alan Turing took his own life. Father of computer science, codebreaker, Manchester icon; victim of prejudice and state violence. Mural by Irek Jasutowicz (aka Tankpetrol) is on Princess Parkway (M20 2EW).

So so many birthday and X**s presents in one place!

After a very rough few days I'm.off to see @robinince.bsky.social tonight. It will be balm for the soul as always and definitely very much required.

Loving that a wee kebab shop in #Airdrie is getting its 15 minutes of fame.

About bloody time

Doesn't everyone do this? Less washing when you get home as well.

I was lucky enough to visit Myanmar in 2016. It's a beautiful country and everyone we met was just lovely. It's devastating to see the state of the cities and its people. I'll be donating tonight.

My Canadian family send me the latest must have accessory.
