Another bad move by ‘Labour’. Telling councils to sell off what few assets they have left as opposed to giving them the funding they need is nothing short of Tory austerity. Allotments are incredible shared spaces. This is not the change people voted for. www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Here’s a free event for anyone interested in the wonderful things archaeology can do for people. Along with my excellent colleague, Natasha, I’ll be discussing why archaeology is such a good fit for improving health and wellbeing. Tonight, 7pm, online! www.archaeologyuk.org/festival/fes...

My present trowel (WHS with wooden handle, obviously) is Goliath VII. His heavily worn sires are still brought out to assist with fiddly features every now and then, but sadly Goliath I, II, and V were lost to various mishaps.

I’m not one for hyperbole, but my little mate, Dippy, is the most handsome cat that ever did cat. 🐈‍⬛

I’m a huge fan of Ghibli’s Laputa, and this art really speaks to me. I don’t even know why, there’s just something magical about it.

1/6 VE Day celebration should be a time to consider how the far right politics of those defeated 80 years ago have worked their way back over the last decade.

Some people say that it’s possible to have too many guitars, and they are all wrong 🤘🏻

Having spotted hedgehog poo in my garden over the last few weeks, I’d wondered if I might have a resident hoggie. I just noticed what seems to be a nest in a pile of grass cuttings under a hedge, can any knowledgeable #hedgehog folk confirm this? 🦔

Sending love and solidarity to my friends in the trans community today. Always here for a natter 🏳️‍⚧️

A peerless snorter of public funds willl now be set for life, while his achievements would have room to spare on the back of a postage stamp. Another normal day on Brexit Island.

My old boy, Dippy, hasn’t been able to go outside since a near-fatal injury from a cat fight, so I’m very happy to say that he’s taken to little walks around the garden on a lead like an absolute pro. So grateful to share my life with this furry little guy 🐈‍⬛

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million. It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts. This is austerity 2.0

My beloved Sheffield Wednesday FC ruining another perfectly good weekend 🦉

Amazing news! French MPs this week voted for a wealth tax on the ultra-rich. It would introduce a 2% tax on any wealth over €100m. A wealth tax on the super-rich is what we need here. And it's what I'm campaigning for. Join thousands of others and sign up below. actionnetwork.org/forms/join-r...

If anyone happens to be in York on Feb 28th, join us at the Golden Ball for some shambolic musical merrymaking!

An absolute joy to meet my brand new niece, Isabella, today. She’s an absolute cuddlebug, I’m in love 🥰

A long overdue sort out of the spare room has doubled up as a rediscovery of how much I love Death Cab For Cutie. Some genuinely timeless music.

It’s 2025, and @swfc.co.uk are winning with goals from Calum Paterson and Michal Smith! 😂 Lovely stuff from the wise old owls 🦉🔵⚪️ #swfc

I'm very much looking to presenting at the Museums, Health and Well-Being Summit next week. I will discuss how a pro-active approach to pursuing new opportunities has allowed my team to engage underserved audiences. (Also, listen out for my cat making a guest appearance! 🐈) lnkd.in/eBXcMF9E

The idea of ‘recruiting’ children is so bizarre to me. This brainwashing of our young can’t be allowed to continue.

Dreading the return of mild weather and drizzle. This cold snap has made an old goth very happy! 🧊

My old lady, Seren is getting so grey, but she’s still a mischievous kitten at heart 🐈

Great night at the Golden Ball with the pub band last night. Ta to everyone that came out 🥰

Nationalise water now.

Another normal day at my normal job.

Another year of quality music, even if my metal credentials take a bit of a battering 😂

Well, I’ve come into possession of quite the treasure trove! 😍🦉 #swfc

Despite the wholly characterless venue and £9(!) drinks, I had a grand time watching Sleep Token in Manchester last night. The only downside was Vore not being on the set list.
