Are we joking? 🤔 Even we're not sure 🤣

Dreaming of an idyllic Mediterranean break this drizzly October Monday? 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums "Three nudes" by Wilhelm Von Golden, c1900, from the V&A collections 😁

#TodayInQueerHistory October 12 (1998) After a brutal attack on October 6, Matthew Shepard dies from his injuries. His attackers were given 2 consecutive life sentences. His death caused a change in US law, crimes based on actual or perceived sexuality or gender are now hate crimes.

Today involved getting my siblings, their spouses and kids all into one photo at the same time (and sharing a breakfast); an emotional funeral of an old friend; and then a 20 mile run. I couldn't have done any of it without @jackshoulder.bsky.social ❤️ To say I'm exhausted is understatement

I love doing Play & a Pilgrimage with @jackshoulder.bsky.social 😁🥰

@x626.bsky.social Eddie! Your venn diagram made a movie! www.thepinknews.com/2025/10/10/h... 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏒

If you're in or near #Bristol and you need a little boost of queer joy, this exhibition is on until the end of November and it is so affirming and positive (and I'm really really proud of @jackshoulder.bsky.social and his team for putting it together 😁🥰)

This guy has been mooning Kensington and Hyde Park since 1851 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums The mosaic around the outside of the @royalalberthall.bsky.social was designed in 1851 by Major General Scott, and depicts human accomplishments in arts and letters through history 😁

There are scant few #MuseumBums at Sambourne House, but we spied this little terracotta chappy on the drawing room mantelpiece, with a bonus peach on the wallpaper to boot! 😁👍🏛️🍑 If you're going to SH, go to their sibling museum Leighton House after (there are millions of #MuseumBums there 😋)

Did you lot know we have a #MuseumBums book? 👍🏛️🍑📕 Ok, that was an easy one, but did you know there's a #TraditionalChinese language edition?? How cool is that?! Can't read Chinese? Don't worry: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/muse...

You know summer's over when it's pitch black on your middle-of-the-night trip to the loo 😳👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Edward Hopper's "Standing Male, from Rear" from the Whitney Museum of American Art 😁

Stomping to stupid work in the stupid drizzle because stupid Google said you wouldn't need your stupid umbrella 😤 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums A 5th c BCE Greek bronze hoppolite from National Archaeological Museum Athens 😁

The Farnese Antinous ❤️ 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Sculpted between 130 and 137 CE, from the Naples Archaeological Museum

No to brag, but uh - *toss toss hair* I think this might be one of my best shop drops yet. 😌✨💅

Ok, gang, there's less than £20 to go for me to hit my £1000 fundraising target, and there's just over a month to go until me and @jackshoulder.bsky.social run the Athens Marathon 😁 Does anyone want to finish me off? 😁 www.justgiving.com/page/keep-ru... 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🇬🇷

Big run done for the week! I'm running the Athens Marathon this year to raise money to support LGBTQIA+ youth. If you can help, every pound can make a world of difference: www.justgiving.com/page/jack-sh...

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

It's #MuralMonday! 🎨🏳️‍🌈 As we continue to add many murals to Art UK, we have gathered a Curation of murals by LGBTQI+ artists, take a look 👉 https://buff.ly/4jIAV9T #LGBTplusHM25 'You Are Loved' by Mister Samo (b.1986) © the artist. 📷 Mike Parry / Art UK

Terrible first date ideas: getting felsted in Herefordshire 😳

#TodayInQueerHistory October 4 (1974) John Waters' Female Trouble is unleashed in cinemas. Divine wants cha-cha heels. Aunt Ida says: “Queers are just better[...] I worry you’ll work in an office, have children, celebrate wedding anniversaries. The world of a heterosexual is a sick and boring life!”

The silliness allegations turned out to be accurate 😁

This is why museum documentation matters! Without, it's very easy to misplaced an entire buffalo for decades

I think we can all agree @jackshoulder.bsky.social looks cute with his hair pushed back 😍 Happy October 3rd 😁

That's no way to talk about Queen Camilla, etc

Think of your favourite hand-painted movie poster, and it was probably done by Renato Cassaro. He did Conan, Dune, Terminator, Flash Gordon, Neverending Story etc etc 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums This is the alternative poster art for "The Sheltering Sky" (Schirokko), 1990 😊

Now September is done, that's 9/12 or 3/4 or 75% of the year completed. Every day I've been sharing an important moment in Queer history using #TodayInQueerHistory. LGBTQIA+ people have always been here. We always will be. And we'll always be doing cool stuff along the way.

The @nhm-london.bsky.social 's human evolution exhibition, includes models of a neanderthal and homosapien looking at each other, like dads comparing barbecue-ing techniques 🥰👍🏛️🍑🍖 #MuseumBums Thanks @thelabandfield.bsky.social for directing us to the rare humanish bums in a natural history museum ❤️

Shocked to discover the @nhm-london.bsky.social has a whole store of genies, but never exhibits them!! 😱

Here's 2 ideas for you, lads. 1️⃣ Tax the rich 2️⃣ Don't blow billions of pounds on warmed-over ID cards plans that won't achieve any of your aims but would hand dangerous potential to authoritarian governments (future or present)

*£83 Stupid tired Mark

I'm only £93 away from my target for fundraising to run the Athens Marathon in November! Chuck us a few quid and I'll stop going on about it 😁 www.justgiving.com/page/keep-ru...

It's giving

I love mushrooms - like, what are they? Funky lil dudes with a million genders who defy all categorisation, taste delicious, and sometimes kill you horribly? Amazing. I'm so on board. Tell me more.

You know those photos from messy nights out that look like art? Here's an art that looks like a messy night out! 😁👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums The Drunken Faun, 1826, by John Hogan, from @crawfordartgallery.bsky.social 😁

Another extraordinary win today - don't let our natural negativity bias let the recognition of these miracles slip away

Just thought of the funniest joke about Athena. It popped into my head fully formed.

I have a joke about Sisyphus, but it's an uphill struggle

Men.

We're not *saying* we should unroyal the royal family and give their massive hoards of wealth and culture to the people... We're just subtly implying it. 😋

I would like to see James Masters and James Marsden kissing... How do we make that happen? 🤔

Jack has at some points literally been holding my hand through this 😁 I love him so much 🥰

These legs are made for running, and that's just what they'll do! One of these days (Sunday 9th Nov) these legs are gonna run all 42km (of the Athens Marathon) 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Help me along here: www.justgiving.com/page/keep-ru...

When your partner opens the bedroom curtains unexpectedly, and you're just not ready for daylight yet 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Duncan Grant's "Nude Woman", c1913, from the V&A 😁

Sweaty face? Swoopy hair? It's another run as I train for the OG: the Athens Marathon 🇬🇷🏃‍♂️ I'm running for Freedom, a group that supports LGBTQIA+ young people. They need our help more than ever. It all adds up: £10 buys a book for our library £25 gets groceries www.justgiving.com/page/jack-sh...

Should I go blonde though? 🤔

Our book has a chapter "Beach Bums" specifically for when it's been drizzly 4 days in a row. You can teleport to a hot summer, the scent of SPF50 on the gentle breeze 🌞 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Henry Scott Tuke's "Lovers of the Sun", 1923 😁 Here's your ticket to summer: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/muse...
