Enjoyed my visit to @designmuseum.bsky.social today to take in the Blitz exhibition. I met up with some Bristol friends and, in a remarkable and delightful coincidence, bumped into @victoriaredfern.bsky.social who was just leaving as we were entering!
Not stopped smiling all afternoon!
Max, a white non-binary person with washed-out pinkish purple hair, glasses, wearing a Human League t-shirt with the sleeves cut off over a fishnet bodysuit tucked into high-waisted black twill Addison jeans cinched with a black belt with silver chains and O-rings, standing awkwardly between three posters on a concrete wall. The central poster shows an early 80s photo of the band Spandau Ballet with text reading "THE CLUB THAT SHAPED THE 80S". The posters either side of the Spandau Ballet poster are pink on the left and yellow on the right and have the word "BLITZ" above and below "THE CLUB THAT SHAPED THE 80S". All three posters have The Design Museum logo text in the corner.

Nessy received a kiss from a cow today!!!
(Don't be fooled by the trailing longline, she is on lead in the cow field, it's just hard to see as it's attached to her Halti and held off camera. Don't let your dogs off around livestock PLEASE)
Nessy, a black and brindle mastiff mix dog, wearing a Halti head collar, a pink neck collar and a pink chest harness, standing in a field as a pretty red and white cow leans close to her sniffing. Nessy's fluorescent longline trails on the floor as she is being held on a black leash attached to her Halti. She looks towards the cow a little confused. The cow seems curious and unafraid! Nessy dog facing the camera head on with a slightly concerned expression as the cow leans closer and licks her thigh! The cow is definitely not afraid!

Seated! It is a lovely auditorium with red velvet folding seats, classic! They're giving everyone FREE copies of Ritual Groove from 2010, David Lynch was a co-producer!
Selfie of Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, green eyeshadow and rounded tortoiseshell glasses, in a red velvet auditorium chair, holding a CD of the album Ritual Groove by Donovan. They are wearing an official Donovan t-shirt that has been dyed purple, and a black short-sleevee over shirt with a crystal print.

Recent photos I have taken as proof of life when a dear friend has said "let me know when you get home safe!"
Max, wearing fishnets on their arms, smiling leaning down on the kitchen floor with Nessy (black mastiff) Max smiling in their purple towel robe with most of their makeup removed (looking red and shiny) taking a selfie with Russell, a back and white shar-pei X french bulldog who was moving as the photo was taken and so is an indistinct blur. Max, sweaty and smiling with heavy eye makeup, leans towards Pye, a black and white tuxedo cat with a pink nose who leans up to greet them. Max, smiling sans glasses and shirt, taking a selfie with Nessy (black mastiff) in front of shark-themed curtains. Max's cool opossum tattoo designed by Micah Ulrich is visible on their shoulder.

Nessy turned 3 recently, then today she came up for a rare cuddle! She's very aloof with me and my mum but when guests come over she will clamber all over them! She thinks she's much smaller than she is!
Nessy, a large black and brindle mastiff cross, sat politely on the kitchen floor, wearing a silly little hat in the shape of a birthday cake with fabric candles. Text on the hat reads "party animal". Nessy and Russell snuffling treats from a tray. Treats include chopped strawberries, iced party ring biscuits, cupcakes and a squeaky rubber duck. A low light selfie of Nessy leaning on Max. Max's purple hair is a mess and they are smiling peeping out from behind Nessy. Blurry low light selfie of Nessy and Max.

Russell, a mostly white medium sized dog, lying on his back on the floor with his back legs stretched out and his front legs bent up on his chest like a tyrannosaurus rex. Two dogs in a field looking expectantly at the camera. On the left is Nessy, a large black and brindle mastiff. On the right is Russell, a medium sized Shar-pei X French bulldog who is mostly white with black splodges and black mask-like markings over his ears and eyes like Batman but with big round blonde comma-shaped eyebrows. A selfie of Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and glasses, cuddling Russell, a white, black and blonde shar-pei X french bulldog. Max is smiling. Russell's eyes are half-closed and his tiny triangular ears are at a relaxed position on the sides of his square head. Nessy and Russell playing in a field, taken from afar. Nessy is mid-bounce and Russell is running towards her.

Chatgpt struggles to say how many Rs are in STRAWBERRY and apparently I struggled with how many Rs are in TRANSFORM when I ordered these appliqués... Unlike chatgpt, at least I recognise and can laugh at my mistake and order a pink R!
A black and white varsity jacket laid out on a grey sofa. There is a large embroidered back patch, pinned with safety pins,of a silver Decepticon insignia and yellow text reading "Rise Up" on a multicoloured Outrun aesthetic style background. Above this patch are smaller letter appliqués trying to spell the word "TRANSFORM" but the first R is missing. When the pink R appliqué arrives, the TRANS will be the colours of the trans flag, blue T, pink R, white A, pink N, blue S, and the FORM is a soft lavender.

First passion flowers of the year recently
A blue and white passion flower peeping out from behind large passion leaves on a sturdy vine. An all white passion flower peeping out large passion leaves with a lovely curly bit like an old telephone cable.

Nessy & Russell, recently.
(We adopted another dog!!!)
(That was the name he was found with)
Two dogs sitting in a pub garden on a sunny day. They are both looking attentively towards the food on the table behind the camera. Nessy on the left is a large black and brindle mastiff cross with a big wide velvety head, her tongue sticking out of her open mouth. Russell on the right is smaller, he is a shar-pei french bulldog mix, white with black splodges and a black and blonde head. He has tiny little triangle ears like Doritos and huge blonde comma-shaped eyebrows. He has a rectangular head made of bulbous wrinkles covered in velvety hair. One of his eyes has little stitches from a recent operation, healing well.

Just a quick pop in to TFN as I have a limited budget and need to be at Coventry Pride this afternoon, but so excited!!!!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, grins at the camera outside a hotel. They are wearing a pastel vest with a Decepticon insignia under a black short sleeved shirt with a crystal print. They are wearing lots of necklaces.

(tagging "graphic" as many people are uncomfortable with bugs)
I DID want to be first in line to see Mrs Train today, I held a beautiful millipede thanks to Creature Courage, an animal phobia therapy specialist!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and glasses, wearing a shirt with an insect print, smiling at the camera as they hold in their flat palms a giant black millipede. The millipede is about the girth of an average clipper cigarette lighter and somewhere between 15-20cm long.

A peacock butterfly found itself trapped in the library today so my friend and I managed to catch it and let it safely out a window to freedom. I kept lifting the glass slightly to let air in and out so it would not suffocate in the glass and only stopped doing that to film this!

Back home now, here's my little haul from the Transformers store. Legacy United Slipstream, big plush Starscream (the only one left I think AND discounted), some decals, a Megatron tote bag and a beautiful poster of Soundwave looming over Battersea power station (still rolled).
A photo of Max's glass hob being used as a haul display table. There is a plush toy of the character Starscream, an action figure in the box of Slipstream, a packet of stickers, a rolled up poster and a cream tote bag featuring Megatron and text reading "MASTER OF DESTRUCTION"

I was far too early for the off-peak train so I walked from Goodge Street to Paddington instead of taking the tube to kill some time. These Paparazzi Dogs by Gillie & Marc caught my eye, so I ended up sat chilling in a little green space until my train was about to depart.
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, taking a selfie with a bronze statue of an anthropomorphic dog, possibly a beagle, holding a large camera. One of the Paparazzi Dogs, a bronze dog-man statue holding a camera. Another bronze dog-man statue, also holding a camera but half-kneeling on the ground. Two more bronze dog-men, both holding cameras.

Afterwards, Northern line to Goodge Street. youtu.be/nuPUBb2PdzY?...
Significant to me for the beautiful song by my beloved Donovan. Had early dinner at Tofu Vegan Charlotte Street branch, phenomenal Sichuan food!!!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, grinning in the Goodge Street tube station. Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, sat at a table adorned with dishes and a tall glass of cold soy milk. There is a bowl of steamed white rice, a dish of wontons in house special sauce, and a plate of deep fried crispy salt & pepper asparagus.

Next stop was Battersea power station to visit the Transformers store which was really fun but I forgot to take a photo inside. It is a breathtaking building, I see why they call it a "Brick Cathedral" 🤩
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and a lopsided grin, taking a selfie in front of Battersea power station and a big white and blue blocky building that looks like it belongs in the New New York of Doctor Who. Low angle view of Battersea power station, a beautiful brick cathedral with white chimneys like Roman columns. The sky is brilliant blue. Three of the four chimneys are visible. Extremely modern sci-fi looking blocky buildings in white, blue and silver. It looks like a futuristic city from Doctor Who or something!

Lunch was a large popcorn, also useful to stop me singing along and annoying the rest of the audience!
So glad the @princecharlescinema.com screened Phantom Of The Paradise, it was emotional seeing it huge and loud!!!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and round glasses, holding a huge bucket of popcorn and the Winslow Leach figurine from the previous post. Max is flashing a toothy grin similar to the figurine. They are in a darkened auditorium.

A little jaunt to the capital today to see my favourite film on a big screen for the first time!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair, wearing rounded tortoiseshell spectacles and a black ffp4 face mask. Their eyes are wide and their eyelids are covered in glitter. They are wearing a green sunflower lanyard indicating "hidden disabilities". They are holding a figurine of Winslow Leach from Phantom Of The Paradise, a figure wearing a black cape and a silver owl-like helmet. They are sat in a seat on a train.

Nessy has been surprisingly cuddly today! She had a bath this morning so her fur is extremely soft!!!
Nessy, a black and brindle mastiff with uncropped floppy ears and big brown eyes, sitting upright on a sofa. She is leaning on Max, a white non-binary person wearing a black hoodie, their face covered by Nessy's big head. Their hands are scratching Nessy's torso fur. Just the tiny pink tip of Nessy's tongue protrudes from her mouth in a tiny adorable blep. Max, a white non-binary person with pinkish purple hair, rounded tortoiseshell spectacles and blue eyes, peeps out from behind Nessy, a black and brindle mastiff dog. Nessy, a black and brindle mastiff mix dog, asleep with her squishy wrinkly face smushed up against the arm of the sofa she is sleeping on. Nessy, a black and brindle mastiff mix dog, asleep on a grey waffle throw on a sofa.

"bear with me a second..."
Scraped myself out of bed having slept fitfully in my clothes, only to catch myself in the mirror and find myself a bit cute!
Max, a white non-binary person with messy purple hair and tired blue eyes. They are wearing a fluffy brown hoodie with little found ears on the hood, making them look a bit like a teddy bear. Their skin looks tired and sore and there is smudged black makeup around and under their eyes. They somehow still manage to look kind of nice.

Been EXTREMELY low on spoons lately, dragging myself through life, but here are some selfies with the pets.
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and rounded spectacles, wearing an oversized hoodie and wrapped in a blanket, sat on a sofa. On their lap sits Spooky, a black short haired cat with greenish yellow eyes. Max looks tired but has a little smile. Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and rounded glasses, smiles as they lean down to take a selfie with Nessy, a large black and brindle mastiff dog lounging on a grey sofa. Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and rounded glasses, smiles as they try to take a selfie from below with Pye, a black and white cat with a pink nose. Pye is extremely blurry as he was in motion. On the ceiling above, there is a non-binary pride flag and a transgender pride flag. Max, a white non-binary person takes a selfie from a low angle with Pye, a black and white cat with a pink nose. On the ceiling are a non-binary pride flag and a transgender pride flag, and in the corner is a triangular mesh hammock full of plush toy animals, most visibly is Shaun The Sheep from the Aardman stop motion films.

Managed to snap this pic at exactly the right moment!
Spooky, a black cat with pale yellow-green eyes, loafed on a grey tartan duvet. The photo was taken just at the moment she does a big yawn, so her mouth is wide open almost like the cartoonist grin of the Joker. Her eyes are only partly open due to the width of her open mouth so she looks strange.

The cat was headbutting the dog affectionately but I kept pressing the camera button too late or early so here's a blurry action shot instead!
Max, a white non-binary person with purple hair and rounded tortoiseshell spectacles, smiles in between a black cat (named Spooky) & a black mastiff mix dog (named Nessy). Nessy looks into the camera, Spooky side-eyes Nessy, and Max looks at them both with an affectionate smile. There is a pansexual pride flag in blue, yellow and pink on the ceiling above all 3.

I keep getting adverts for tiny concrete recreations of brutalist buildings and can't help but be charmed by this tiny Elephant from my home town... When I was a toddler there was a soft play inside called Jungle Junction.
A screenshot of the Facebook app newsfeed. A post by a sponsored company called Spaceplay showing a photograph of a small concrete recreation of a famous brutalist building called The Elephant. Text in the post reads "Brutalist divides opinions, but if you're on..." Then cuts off under a "See more". Under the photo is a "Shop now" link.
