I've had a little break from here while I started a new job and stuff went out of control. I'm back now and I'll aim to be more active.

Hope to find some people here into healthcare science education. And Tolkien, obviously.

I'm visiting Durham for the first time (for work) in a storm. 🌩️🌞

Five minutes after I got off the train, I was like: I love it here 😍

Really curious what the juxtaposition of uni students and locals is in this tiny place? @talkscaredpod.bsky.social

We saw #Weapons last weekend. Apart from seeing the trailer at the cinema last month I deliberately saw/read nothing about this film.

Loved it. Especially the narrative structure. Scary and funny. #horror

Hey, USA, here’s the leader of Health and Human Services, allowing parasitic lampreys to bite his arms, presumably to let the bad humours out and make him healthier than a normal human.

We’ll all soon be issued personal lampreys instead of health care.

Yeah OK the film is from 1984, but whatever.

I was hoping for some fierce AC but no luck there.

But I did really enjoy the sound and visuals of this one.

What an absolute treat that the longest day of the year is 33C. 😭

I'm still on my Desert Island Discs hobby horse.

So wholesome when you listen to an episode with someone and they come across EXACTLY how you thought they would, eg Ken Goodman or Danny Dyer. 👍

Highly recommend this habit as a little escape from drudgery. ❤️
