I draw bits of fast cars in Milton Keynes.
Music, Art, Architecture, Class Consciousness. Mental Health First Aider. He/him, that's about it
Just back from a 10 day break in The Baltics refreshed and ready to take on a week of work, before I take off another two weeks. Hard life.

Actually it really is…

Just watched ‘Gaza - Doctors under attack’ on #Channel4 - My god, what are we doing, why is our government siding with the Nazis.

Have the #metpoliceuk lost all grasp of the tenets of policing by consent?
They're acting like a private security company for the ruling classes. The people should be allowed to protest free from fear of arrest, we're on the road to authoritarianism. www.gov.uk/government/p...

I’ve seen Manchester change a lot over the years, as a visitor rather than as a resident, I see in stark contrast the changes between visits, old Manchester and its industrial heritage is being slowly swept away like it is an inconvenience to the developers vision of modernity

4 hours to get home last night, 1.5 of which on foot. Got to see the operational incident up close, looks like a derailment to me. Could’ve been worse, I wasn’t grumbling like everyone else..

So, a couple of weekends ago I was up in Manchester, took a couple of pics of #hotspurpress - the pesky council van was ruining the view, that’s ok, I’ll take some better photos next time… another reminder to not put things off.

Thursday night, London, I reluctantly followed my mate to XOYO to see Desire. How wrong was I? What a great night of synth-pop infused Italo disco. It’s unlocked a whole new chunk of music to explore from Italians Do It Better and Johnny Jewel.

I just read a memorial post about the sad loss of Gary Speed 13 years ago, someone I got to watch in action with Everton many years ago. It reminded me of this great video by Norwich City. You don’t have to be in to football for this video’s message to hit home.

Shamelessly recycled content from Bedford Esquires Twatter account. Great to see the launch of the new line up of The Horrors last night.

Baby Mark from the olden days, I think Fox Talbot had just perfected his art a few months before this was taken. 1986 - foetus.

A heritage shot from another defunct Social Media platform destroyed by its owner.

RIP Tumblr. This shot has accrued nearly 103000 likes, reblogs or comments since 2016... how???

Lovely weekend in London Town. Favourite riverside hotel, cycling between beers, burlesque competition (watching I hasten to add), Shake Shack (thanks for recommending, tho my wallet hates me) and rounded off with They Might Be Giants at The Roundhouse.

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn't mean you can't advocate against it now. It doesn't make you a hypocrite, you grew. Don't let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.... Growth:
A concept. Embrace it.

Still mulling over Bluesky, I don’t know.

The halcyon days of SM seem to be but a memory. Monetisation, bots, trolls, no more discourse… ho hum.

I’m sitting in a boozer in Bermondsey, contemplating life with Sherlock for company.

Thought I’d introduce myself - I’m Mark - Twitter refugee. I’m first and foremost a live music fan. I travel the world to see big bands in big stadiums, but I’m equally happy to watch some kids trying their luck at a spit and sawdust pub. In other matters, I try to keep it classy and I don’t troll.
