I have come to learn that on every walk I do that's slightly longer, there is a point where I lose any faith that I can complete it.
Accessibility fails make reaching this point considerably more likely.

Had a lovely evening advocating for queer joy and kissing more girls at the #Pride-themed Cut Up Collective event last night with Phia. There were some really creative, moving and funny collages made and it was fab.

I wrote for Global Comment about exploring the place you live more intentionally, even in the rain, and you get to see some bonus ducks 🦆 as well. globalcomment.com/staycation-i... #SheffieldIsSuper

How do you review a film when your friend is in it? The simple answer is you don't, but I've never been one for simple answers. So instead I had a look at journalistic ethics, meanness in reviews, and other such good stuff. globalcomment.com/ethics-compa...

Do I know anybody who works / has worked in Bereavement Services at a UK local council who would be up for an off-the-record chat? There's some background info I need to understand more about how a particular process works? Cheers. #JournoRequest

Lisa's finally going to get a funeral. Posting here for maximum visibility because I know a lot of us have been waiting for it. It's on 9th May at 11.15am in Colchester, with an online option too. Please do DM me for the full info if you'd like to attend.

Some days I am super focused and motivated. Other days I bribe myself with jelly babies to get the hard tasks done, like a toddler. Did you know jelly babies were originally called Unclaimed Babies? Which is honestly horrifying imagery. Bassett's in Sheffield renamed them Peace Babies after WW1.

I've been making a note of words that made me happy, or intrigued, or that were just unusual or fascinating, for a while. Here are some of them. I think the last one is the one that pinged the happy bits of my brain the loudest - and it's got 8 syllables!

Want some tips on posing for the camera? Ask 1982 Me. No doubt Dad had just told me that if I dug a hole deep enough, I'd reach Australia

Look what I did! Each element is painfully but beautifully symbolic but in a way I mostly can't explain without crying. So, for now, this is a fox, and a parakeet flying from a cage, that are beautiful and that's explanation enough.

Little things that make me disproportionately happy #3
The #AuthorClock!
Why does it makes me so happy? It reminds me that when I'm checking the time (often because I'm stressed!), that there is a world outside of whatever feels urgent in the moment. Also it is just enriching!

When you spend the first 18 years of your life in a town obsessed with pies, you don't necessarily realise quite how obsessed with pies it is 🥧 Then you leave home and wonder why there aren't steak puddings in the chippy or pie stalls at events or pies on every menu and it gradually sinks in #wigan
