My wonderful grandpa, John Baddeley, died peacefully at home on Saturday at the age of 92. He was an amazing grandpa, dad and husband, a prolific actor, and one of the funniest and wittiest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. We’ll all miss him so very much.

My beloved cat Coco, who died a few years ago, loved drinking out of anything other than her bowl. Sometimes very classy, sometimes less so 🍸

I absolutely loved presenting my research on Red Rose and the Televisual Gothic in the digital age at #GothicCrossroads this week - and learning from and catching up with Gothicists from around the world! Very excited to see everyone again at next year’s @igagoths.bsky.social conference in Hull 🦇

Closing the evening with some shameless self-promotion - if you’re so inclined, you can read more of my thoughts on Kneale’s horrific renderings of his medium in @drdjohnston.bsky.social’s Nigel Kneale and Horror: www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10....

The Ryan Electrics font may appear familiar to some viewers. A very similar (albeit inverted) design was later used in Black Mirror episode “White Bear” (2013), also concerned with memory, cyclical time and the ethics of spectatorship #stonetapelive

It’s been hugely helpful to me, despite struggling to get on with other therapeutic practices in the past.
