Everyone stop what you are doing and order this book now. Heard and interview with the author on @folklorepod.bsky.social and had to get it.

It's amazing. Just so ridiculously charming and I needed it. I really did. It's a much needed tonic to all the negative news and crap that is flying around.

Loving the current theme on Fabulous Folklore. #Newgate was a big part of my life for a while*, so this was a joy.

I was technically an inmate there for a year. I got paid for it though.
Newgate Prison loomed large in London's history, before its demolition in 1902. How did this prison gain such a fearsome reputation? How has it survived well beyond its early 20th-century demolition? Let’s find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

What a weird way to tell the world you just don't "get" what art is.

Can anyone sling me some good #folkore particular to #York?

I need to write a #shortplay

You can write one too, if you're a #playwrite. Or if you're not a playwright and fancy being one.

Here are the details:

Well that was an experience.
Thank you @dannyrobins.bsky.social er al
A good night, but the best takeaway was that we can all have a different opinion and have fun together.
You can be a believer and like a skeptic, a skeptic and like a believer. Or just not know.
Good times

Apparently, Facebook thinks my new theatre project is breaking community rules.

It's not. But I'll try and start a revolution of sorts if you promise to take a look:

Dear FDA,
My nan wants some #Tylenol for her headache but is meeting a friend, can she still make eye contact after one Tylenol or should she wait until later?

Dear Science,
Given that we don't have #Tylenol in the UK, am I a different brand of autistic? Also, will taking paracetamol help top up my autism a bit day to day? How much do I need to take to finally be good at maths?

Vague,but basically a bad year has been peppered with a LOT of inspiration from the @folklorepod.bsky.social , @karenstollznow.bsky.social, Blake Smith & @mattbaxter.bsky.social, @icysedgwick.bsky.social and many more.

Now have confidence and drive to channel my love of folklore and theatre ❤️

Finally, I have found somewhere to channel all my folklore and theatre obsession.

At the beginning of the year, my resolution was to learn and research local folklore and history.

Then the year got HARD. But I still did it. And now I've got the perfect place to make use of it.

I don't really miss being a professional actor. I love being able to be in a theatre on a regular basis and getting to play super little character roles.
The parts get better with age.
Last show for a while. It's a good one

I think I have just found the most amazing coffee house in the world. I don't want to sound dramatic but this coffee is so lovely I could cry.
