For #InternationalWomensDay a portrait of me taken by my Dad, wearing my middle-aged woman’s coat of invisibility in a Somerset field. Wearing this parka (which, aside from costume is the most expensive item of clothing I've owned) I’ve been patronised in hospitals, left...

Laserdisc collectors, I'm about to start ebay listing a stack of laserdiscs to raise funds for building the new lab in The Cave. If you might be interested in a job lot to save me the ebay tax then DM me! Lots of NTSC and special editions in the pile.

I promised you the Apollo from the collection of chryselephantine (gold and ivory) statues at Delphi, and here he is with his radiant gold hair. No wonder he was associated with the sun.

It can't always be helped, but how you stack text in a balloon can influence the readability of the text. Notice how the text reads more naturally when you break lines based on punctuation.

I'm writing about sex, confidence & ageing for Marie Claire (& working on a much larger documentary project around similar themes...). For starters, I'd like to interview women in their 40s, 50s, 60s & beyond about sex positivity & lessons learned over time. #JournoRequest🧡

Never again shall I forget what shape a particular Greek pot is! I bought this ages ago and have kept meaning to show you, but my brain was full of Medusa/goddesses/the Odyssey... Made by Ella Bua-In! ellabua-in.co.uk

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do. We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal. 🧡

Sneaky home automation.
I setup a home speaker app which takes contentious family decisions for us. You can ask it to choose which takeaway we're having, or whose turn it is to do the dishes etc. I set it up to slightly favour my food choices and to rarely pick me for housework. The family has no clue.

My video has been monetized after the company that blocked it failed to even respond to the dispute. I've made no money on it, but starting today, I can, so this is important: If you wanna rewatch my (hilarious) video, please do, and share. youtube.com/watch?v=LMMZc_td…

Strava has just started doubling its prices, but they concurrently refuse to tell me what the actual price of Strava is now. This is arguably the most insane post I've ever written, as I try and get to the bottom of the unannounced Strava price increases: dcrainmaker.com/2023/01/stra…

Everybody loves Katamari Damacy! Some people suggested using my Armadillo Racing trackball to play Katamari so here's a quick re-edit with the original PS2 version of the game running in an emulator.🌏😁
