A guide to interacting with me…
A smiling, bald man with a salt-and-pepper beard wears a black hoodie reading “BOYS GET SAD TOO” and points up at street art on a weathered cream wall. A large white speech bubble outlined in black reads “EXPECT NOTHING, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING” in red capital letters. Part of a colourful mural featuring a face and a hand is visible to the right.

NYC’s going wild for Martin Auer’s $60 rye bread at RYE. Here in Austria, Roggenbrot is everywhere, so I grabbed an €8 loaf from Ströck. Lovely with butter & chives; divine with sour cream, smoked salmon & caviar. Best as an open sandwich rather than on its own! #AustrianBread

Really happy to say I’ve joined the @qweertygamers.org Creator Program 🌈🎮 I’m excited to meet and collab with other queer creators, discover new games and support LGBTQIA+ voices in gaming. Come find me on Twitch and follow along 💜 #QweertyGamers #QueerGaming #twitchstreamer #lgbtqstreamer

I don’t want anyone in Belfast who is struggling with drugs to feel their life matters less. Nobody should have to earn compassion or face a crisis alone. I want people to find a welcome when they ask for help, support without judgement and a real chance to see better days.
A graphic titled “Supervised drug-consumption centres in Europe”. An unobscured regional map marks Glasgow and Dublin as two selected examples, not all European centres. Glasgow’s The Thistle recorded 171 medical emergencies, including overdoses, from January 2025 to May 2026, with no fatalities in those events. Dublin’s Merchants Quay Ireland recorded 380 overdose interventions from December 2024 to May 2026, all non-fatal. Notes explain that the figures use different measures, are not a performance ranking, and are not a count of lives saved or a comparison of national death rates. Staff can respond to overdoses and connect people with treatment. Supervised use is not risk-free, and EUDA rates the evidence for reducing drug-related deaths as low quality. Dated official sources appear at the bottom.

A glorious day at @causewaypride.bsky.social in Portrush, marching with Belfast Pride and helping carry their banner. A real highlight was meeting Caroline Litman @alicemydaughter.bsky.social and buying a signed copy her book. Full of admiration for her fight for trans young people. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #pride #NI

My old cynical heart beat with a little pride today seeing that 20,000 people came to the anti fascist, anti racism rally in Belfast city centre today. Despite all the horror of the last few days it’s heartening to be reminded that those driven by hate are vastly outnumbered by people who love.

If you have a problem with the message, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”, then you really need to reflect on what point in your life you started putting hate before love. #badbunny

Erfan Soltani is 26 years old and is set to be executed in Iran for protesting the government. It’s not clear how many protesters have been killed with estimates between 2000 & 12,000. With so much suffering in this world I hope that Iranian people achieve meaningful change & peace in their country.

Yesterday was my graduation for my first degree. I did this while going through the most difficult time of my whole life. Thank you to everyone who supported me, it meant the world. Today was a victory, I was proud to wear the colours of my community as I collected my degree. Love wins, always.

Retro Room Belfast (inside Cityside Shopping Centre) is a must-visit for gamers—the largest video arcade on the island of Ireland. Wall-to-wall classic coin-op cabinets, a buzzing social vibe, and seriously friendly owners at who deserve your support. I had a blast reliving 80s/90s nostalgia.🎮

For those that need a little inspiration today. History teaches us that tyranny is unnatural and requires constant effort to maintain, people resisting it can break it. History teaches us that it never lasts, remember that. Original video by SWFT.

I had an amazing time trying out the cocktail making experience at McConnell’s Irish whisky, I’d definitely recommend it, McConnell’s were kind enough to give a code to my followers, Bloomeroid it gives you £15 off the cocktail experience. Link in my bio. #irishwhiskey #irishwhisky #bear #belfast

Lady Portia is a Belfast icon. Following a drag queen storytime event she has been harassed with anti LGBT+ hate. There’s an effort to attack LGBT+ people in public life in the hope of making us less visible, Lady P is making a stand against it. Please help support her. Donate at gofund.me/8f898742

There’s only two ways it can go when you go bald, you can fight it by wearing wigs, getting hair plugs, taking testosterone suppressants or you can embrace it. I embraced my baldness back in 2019 and I haven’t looked back. More men should as well! Bald is beautiful!

Belfast Pride is 100% run by volunteers, and all events run by Pride are always free for attendees. For the festival to keep going it needs support from the community. There’s a link in my bio for where you can donate to Belfast Pride which is this link here: checkout.square.site/merchant/S89...

Himalayan Balsam is a non native invasive plant. It takes over and dominates an area, out competing native plants. It’s possible to get rid of it but it requires a lot of management. I’m now locked in for a long war with stuff now!

I was awarded some compensation recently so I decided to spend it on a wee treat for myself, Nintendo Switch 2! I went to Smyth’s Toys for the midnight launch. I had a nice time connecting with other gamers. I rushed home so I could unbox it! I cant wait to play it! #switch2 #unboxing #nintendo

Should I stick a coin into the cracks of the Giants Causeway? No, it damages the rocks and looks horrible. It is not a tradition or custom to shove a coin into the cracks, it won’t bring you good luck & it won’t grant a wish. It just ruins the place, so stop it. #giantscauseway #northernireland

First offence and he pleaded guilty, that entitled him to significant discount. If he had contested it and was found guilty, he probably would’ve got a suspended sentence, minimum of 2 months custody. Thats why he pled.

Today Gordon Downey was sentenced for subjecting me to over two years of homophobic abuse. The court has imposed a three year restraining order & a substantial fine for his hateful conduct. It’s so important we stand up to hate and I want the LGBTQ community to know that #LoveWins, always.

Love won, today & always. It’s so important we stand up to hate, hatred unopposed spreads & harms society. It must always be opposed with love. Thank you to all who supported me today & throughout. I’ll have more to say on this, but today I’m going to take a moment to enjoy some peace. #lovewins

I’ve love in my life & all around me, & I’m grateful. Love charges us up & keeps us going. With love, we can overcome any odds. Hate & division may seem in control, but humanity must be divided if we’re to be united. Love will bring us together & love always wins. #lovewins
