Why would they do this
"Mind the gap" on the edge of a train platform, which has been repainted over with a new stencil which says "Mind the Gap" with a capital G. The bigger G misaligns the whole thing and enrages L'Ankles (not pictured).

The most powerful kind of sub-heading on Wikipedia
A screencap from Wikipedia. The sub-heading is "Personal life" and the only content is "She is bisexual."

The other day some kids outside Tesco were shouting "Dora The Explorer" and I was really confused until I looked up what she looks like

Think Grace Petrie's Lefty Christmas was my final gig of the year? THINK AGAIN! Joining @charleston51.bsky.social on drums supporting Ye Nuns THIS MONDAY at the Lexington! Couldn't find a pic of me on drums so have one of me playing the stringed and fretted drum
Laura and Jasmine Kennedy off of Grace Petrie's band playing guitar and bass respectively, shredding on their knees on the floor in the classic folk tradition.

Muddy Christmas to one and all
A selfie of Laura running, with eyes closed and a goofy grin. She is wearing a bright red running jacket and a big pair of headphones. A muddy flood park is visible in the background. A raised path, thick with mud. There are trees either side on the lower banks, and a lake visible behind the trees on the right hand side. Fog hangs over the scene, obscuring the greenery further back in the photo. Laura's legs, shot from above. Her trainers are absolutely caked in mud.

Hyped for Lefty Christmas with Grace Petrie tonight! Here I am elsewhere on tour.
A photo of Laura from around 1999 at Christmas, posting with a plastic toy guitar and microphone. There is a big plastic Christmas tree in the background. You can't tell from the picture, but it was nicked from a closing down shoe shop.

Coffee #14: oat flat white, Hunter Gatherer in Southsea. £4. Honestly great but again knocking points for price and also attitude of the sticker on the toilet door. 8/10
A dog-eared sticker on a wooden door with a cartoon anthropomorphised doughnut strolling on it. The text reads "GOOD COFFEE AIN'T CHEAP." A turquoise cup on a pink saucer. The cup is filled with coffee, featuring some disturbed foamy art due to the photographer's rash motion to drink the coffee before taking a picture.

A flat white in a green ceramic cup, featuring flowery foamy art.

Hello I'm Laura Ankles and I'm now on the less Nazi-riddled social media!
Laura is wearing some reddish-brown sunglasses, a black pair of headphones and a black Revello tshirt whilst waiting for a train. You can see the train platform reflected in the sunglasses.
