Honestly, it's hard to beat the baggy top and shorts shorts combo! 💪🏻🦵🏻
Gym mirror selfie, wearing a baggy black gym top with red accents down my side, a part of black short shorts with white accents, black gym socks and white trainers, and black over-ear headphones. My right arm is behind my back, flexing my bicep.

Never had Eurovision New Year coinciding with becoming unemployed before. It's certainly a novel experience! 😅🫣🤣

Happy Friday from the @eurotrippodcast.com One Second Song Champion. And now I've got a trophy to prove it! 🤣🇪🇺🎤🏆
A photo of a metal trophy: a five-point star with a microphone and a twisted ribbon with notes and a music staff in front of it; a laurel in the top-right corner with a metallic print-out of a music staff, a treble clef, F major key signature and 2/4 time signature. At the base is a metal plaque: The Euro Trip Podcast One Second Song Champion. The trophy is on my kitchen table, in the background is the view from my kitchen showing clear blue skies, shrubbery and a recently-mowed grass field

Helpful hint: if you don't want to support a pro-Russian, alleged homophobic, neo-fascist artist on Spotify, find their artist page, click the three dots and then choose "Don't play this artist". Now you can listen to those #Eurovision2025 playlists risk-free of supporting a kant! #AllEyesOnGeorgia

Two nickels meme from Phineas and Ferb: "If I had a nickel for every time Estonia sent a song in Italian to Eurovision, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!"

I guess I was feeling in a white mood at the gym today! 😅🤣
Mirror selfie in the gym changing room. I'm wearing a white Aeracha Uladh x The Rainbow Project GAA jersey, with trans flags on the arm holes, and white JJ Malibu short shorts with blue lettering. Selfie in the gym changing room with my back is towards the mirror. Half of my face and torso are visible in the foreground, while behind me the mirror is reflecting the back of my jersey, which says "Aeracha Uladh GAC" in grey across the shoulders and an artsy grey and white striped pattern resembling shards of broken glass starting from below the arm holes and finishing at the bottom of the jersey. The white short shorts look tight around my posterior.

I'm not based in the US, so why the fuck do I have to see the massive orange Cheeto's batshit musings from all the way over here in N. Ireland? 🤦🏻‍♂️ #GulfOfMexico #GoogleMaps #FuckTrump #FuckMusk

So sad to not be at #LSC2025 in person, cause it looks like an absolute blast, but the English language commentary on RTL Today is keeping me in great company tonight! 🇱🇺

Just a friendly reminder that being on the #spectrum doesn't excuse you from being a total see you next Tuesday. As an example, this #autistic guy went to the #gym today and didn't do a N*zi salute! 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's not often that travel over 1,200km to see a musical in a language can just about understand the basics of, but maybe should do this more! Had an amazing time back in Malmö and embracing the sounds of Roxette at the Malmö Opera. You never know, I may be back sooner than expected! 😉😝🇸🇪
Me at the Malmö Opera standing in front of a "Joyride the Musical" standing board. I'm in jeans and a white T-shirt with "La." written on it (from It's a Sin). On the board are heart-shaped foil balloons in various colours, with the logo to the left, "Joyride the Musical" in a red-to-green gradient balloon. Above the logo is the text "Baserad på låtarna av Roxette" (Based on the songs of Roxette).
