Seriously sprained my elbow a couple of weeks back, and it's still recovering. Going to the Skunk Anansie gig last night at Rock City didn't help, but I didn't care because it was absolutely epic and painkillers are wonderful things! Today, though? Today I have painful regrets in my right arm.

On today, trans day of visibility, as on every other day I stand and shout that trans rights are human rights. Solidarity, love and support for all trans colleagues and friends who face utter bullshit every day for just existing.

Fantastic job by Coventry Sea Cadets drill squad at the weekend, smashing out a 3rd place in Warwickshire. Smart, disciplined, teamwork all the way, and a cracking vibe across the whole squad. These guys earned it. What other young people could put on a show like this? #seacadets
9 sea cadets in best number 1 uniform, looking incredibly smart, with caps removed.

First Arma3 mission of 2025 back in CheltNam. I love gaming with the Tactical Distractions guys and girls, because it's genuinely about the teamwork. The medic, the RO, the engineer, and even I as the combat photographer each has a unique role to play to defeat the enemy and tell a story.
Seven in-game US marines in the Arma3 game, lined up for a platoon photo back at base in black and white.

Dec 24, and I know it's a rough time of year for many. No matter how much I may disagree with you on one thing or another, how much you think I'm a damn idiot or worse, please remember that the world is better with you in it. If you're struggling: 116 123 is the Samaritans. Be alive for 2025.

New branding on our minibus looks mint. Should be good for getting us more known around Coventry, and hopefully getting more cadets and more volunteers to help! ...incidentally, if you're in Coventry and want to know more about volunteering, drop me a line :)

For my part, I'll be looking at the UCU Commons and CUD slates for NEC in general, but there are some members of UCU Left I'd also endorse, whose views match my own - members come first, and we push for small win after small win, not the magical unicorn.

Tonight's Arma3 mission involved holding a village from the CheltNamese infiltrators. Sadly my photos taken in game failed to save, so I did us a new movie poster instead.
A movie poster in the style of Pulp Fiction, with a smoking asian soldier facing the camera, and the list of platoon members on the operation in place of actor names.
