I was with my women's choir for a performance to some refugees with a local charity. It went really well, there was an adorable little kid dancing to our songs and at the end she went up to our choir director (my one-one singing teacher) and hugged her 🥹

Also, have a selfie

The last four games I've played.

Road 96: fantastic

Heavy Rain: enjoyable but deeply flawed, written by a massive douche whose misogyny shows in one of the characters

Hack n Slash: short, fun, coding puzzle twist on a Zelda-style adventure

Daily Chthonicle: fun and amazing tabletop style RPG.
Cover image for the game Road 96. It features a road in a desert with a mountainous landscape, the front of minibus driving on the road, and the title of the game on a yellow diamond sign Cover image for the game Heavy Rain. It features an origami model with a bloodstain standing on the ground where it's raining, all put through a beige filter with the games title text across the top Cover picture for the game Hack n Slash. It features the protagonist (a female character based on Link from Zelda) carrying a sword standing on the top of a rocky crystal column with a light beam shining on her. Across the top is the game's title. The picture's colour scheme is pretty much all shades of blue An image of the game The Daily Chthonicle Collector's Edition in the form of a printed newspaper column and showing photos of Eldrich abominations

Post from Beach House's officiant Instagram @beaccchhoussse with music Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton. The post text says: We are beyond grateful for the endless inspiration that David Lynch brought into our lives. We will continue to rewatch his many incredible works, that molded the very core of our artistic sensibilities. RIP heart emojis, BH

Thanks to Stylish Strands Nottingham for making my hair look gorgeous!

(Also, that's not a sore on my lip, it's the lip stain darkening the raw parts)

Photos of me from last Saturday's game against the lovely Railtown Loco Rollers. Thanks to Paul Smith and Phil Cross for capturing me at my best when I'm often self-conscious about my body 💗
Full wide action shot of a pack. The tall skater wearing a green Nottingham Roller Derby crop top, short black shorts and a green helmet cover with a star being, and full skate gear, is trying to get through a wall of two skaters on black uniforms, with skaters from both teams in action in the background Full body shot of a tall skater wearing a green Nottingham Roller Derby crop top, short black shorts, a green helmet cover with a star, and full skate gear, being pointed at as the lead jammer by the jam ref while they both skate a lap. The bench for the black team, Railtown Loco Rollers, can be seen in the background A skater wearing a green Nottingham Roller Derby crop top, short black shorts, a green helmet cover with a star, and full skate gear, doing a triumphant pose

Can't really sum it up in one picture
Photo of a very tired woman hopped on painkillers and half-smiling, wearing round glasses and her blue tipped hair tied in a high ponytail, lying on a hospital bed in a hospital gown having undergone major surgery. Some blue hair dye has rubbed off on her neck and she still has one of the sticky monitors stuck to her shoulder Photo of a woman with egg-shaped glasses wearing green roller derby gear, dark coloured arm bands, pastel wrist sweat bands, and a helmet with a visor and a pivot panty. Her hair is tied into two plaid pigtails and she is heavily made up with purple lippy and eyeliner like Faith Connors from Mirror's Edge. She is living her best life and her face is full of attitude

Reskeet your pfp
Selfie from the chest above of a pale part-Chinese woman in a dormitory. Her black hair neatly tied back in a high ponytail. She is wearing a black v-neck wrap dress, a full face of makeup with purple lippy, and large egg-shaped glasses. She is facing the camera with her head tilted slightly to one side to show off the blue-tipped ponytail. There's a mini electric kettle in the background in the lower right corner
