It’s so funny to me that, whenever I’ve written about the right wing protests - the only comebacks they have to photos of them kicking off and cited articles on the leader of Britain First being convicted of a terror offence is to call me a nonce. Cause apparently baseless accusations outweigh facts

It’s my parent’s 41st wedding anniversary today. According to Google, land is an appropriate gift for this occasion… anyone have a shovel I can borrow for the day?

Is it just me, or was anyone else disappointed with the end of Severance? I was looking at my TV like “NOOOOOO”

Went out and about with my camera for the first time in a few months. There was a “family friendly” flag march locally to me, which just so happened to result in me being assaulted and damaging my camera.

I’ve been lucky to volunteer as a photographer for Sutton United #Disability #Football Club over the last couple of years. Last weekend, officers from the #MetPolice Sutton borough came down to play a friendly against us at Cheam Sports Club and it was a pleasure, as always, to #photograph the match

Thanks for highlighting the absurdity, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social . If billionaires can withstand $210 billion losses, fair taxation is not only feasible, but necessary. Millionaires for Humanity advocates for more fair tax system.

Had a lovely day with the family and my nephew yesterday. Being “neurospicy”, I paid so much attention to the tiny human that when he left, I didn’t know what to do with myself 😂

Never listened to #KendrickLamar before, but after everyone kicked off about the #SuperBowl I just had to give the half time show a watch. Bruh that was ICONIC!

Whilst #StormDarragh is raging outside, I’m tucked up in bed with a beer rewatching the final season of Breaking Bad. Definitely not just using this as an excuse to be lazy on a Saturday night!

The #postgraduate #exhibition went well! So strange that after 5 years, I’m no longe going to be a student (but if you asked me 10 years ago, I never thought I’d be doing a BA yet alone an MA). Here’s to an amazing 2.5 years at #UAL
