Want to walk into and through an actual Iron Age house…and UP THE STAIRS?
Of course you bloody do.
Come with me.

Carn Liath broch, just sitting quietly beside the A9 as thousands whizz by without stopping. Their mistake.
Far too excited to wait for #HillfortsWednesday

We are now living through a harsh winter without shelter… Our house was bombed and we are living among the cold rubble.

We are waiting for your support to help us raise the money to build a tent to protect us from the rain and cold.

In this week's Samuel Barnett's Unknown, they start in the ruins of a bookshop and end up meeting the ghost of a cook. Tom still has to film a self-tape and Sam still has to find Shakespeare's Cardenio.

Someone was asking if they could print out this image for a sign to carry at a protest against anti-trans legislation and the answer to anyone with a similar question is a thousand times yes. Wave Furious Trans Raccoon at as many genital-obsessed clowns as you like, no charge 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

My favourite YouTube channel has made a new episode. British Cryptids are stylistic documentaries from the 70s on ghosts, monsters and folklore. Think Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World meets the first series of Look Around You. youtu.be/XTTw5jquP-k?...

It's hard breaking into a new genre. Anyone who reads low angst, #sapphic #comfortread #romance might like my first f/f novel. Have a look, or repost to help me find my audience, please. Thanks.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.

We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Abortion law in Scotland is not fit for purpose, change is long overdue. You don’t have to look far to see notorious anti-trans bigots spreading misogynistic disinformation about abortion.

Some of us have been saying forever that they’d do this… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Am finally moving my streaming over to Deezer from Amazon. Downsides: I can't control playback on my Echo speakers in the app, only by voice. Upsides: it scrobbles to last fm! Also still playing with record.club to track music I want to listen to, which I'm quite liking.

On a bus route I have never been on before and turned my location on so I can work out where I need to get off because despite having lived here nearly 20 years this is a whole new bus route, who knows where it goes (I mean, there's a map. But still)
