Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Before a university reunion, I made a quick trek up the hill to see this. So worth it. #bristol #cliftonsuspensionbridge #bridges #engineering

It’s like the fantasy universe (Legend, Labyrinth) colliding and creating cuteness.

Appropriate for today’s (or Calgary’s) weather. This was during a heavy snowfall in #Tokyo where I made the strange decision to go for a walk. #tokyo #shibiya #japan #photography #snow #winter #clearumbrella

Bought some new books! Probably my least guilt-free impulse purchase.

High places in beautiful cities are great because you get to see and study areas like these. #porto #portugal #photography

And some still get their knickers in a twist when POC actors are cast in Jane Austen adaptations.
Don’t know who needs to see this, but a mixed race actor cast as a Viking in a kids movie about dragons doesn’t take anything away from Viking culture. A black woman playing a green witch doesn’t take anything from witch culture.

Representation doesn’t take. It gives.

You're allowed to like things, and it also not be your entire personality. You can like things a little or you can like things a lot! People that try to gatekeep your love of hobbies, music, games, movies....whatever! Are lame as fuck! Lol. You don't have to be obsessed with something to like it. 😉💜

Days that I work from home and have to do lots of editing, I'm grateful for the existence of Lisa McGee and her putting Derry Girls into the world so I can laugh and chuckle about elements of my catholic youth. It's good company.

#Porto is such a fun place, with friendly people and tasty food. Totally recommend it. (All photos you'll see on my feed are taken by me!)

Been on Bluesky for a couple of hours and keep seeing these "starter packs". This is one of the few starter packs I'm actually familiar with:
