Don't talk to me, my son or his south west coastline ever again. @hankgreen.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social petition to start a 'John and Hank in unexpected places' project please. #DFTBA

Hopelessly busy and online-absent as I get into the thickets of PhD work at the moment but we always try to make time for @gaconf.bsky.social ! (spot the @projectforawesome.com tee creeping in 👀) #GAConf #GameAccessibility

Luke holds up a laptop screen showing a livestream to the camera. The livestream shows Sightless Kombat talking on the G A Conf YouTube Livestream. He wears dungarees, but a Project for Awesome t-shirt is just visible underneath.

Absolutely blessed to have seen Raye last night. Genuinely might have been the best gig I've ever seen. She and her band are STUPIDLY talented. #Raye

Paying homage to @coollike.gay 's P4A segment however by only using the BEST ingredient and 100% less mushy peas. Would recommend. We're counting down to the end of P4A now! Time to smash last year's figure! 🦒 #P4A #ProjectForAwesome

Bristol Patchway station with a nice BSL installation at the moment! An alternative message might have been 'Together we are soaked and fed up of this dreary weather'. Might not fit on the fence, mind. #BSL

Spent the day converting my control mappings to be single inputs only! It was previously clunky and less accessible with a series of dual button presses, taps and holds. Now though, much cleaner, easier to understand, and navigable with single, slower interactions. Success!

A moment of solidarity to all my January birthday friends. At least the sun is out! #29

Luke sits on a vibrant green velvet sofa. He is flexing his arm and making a fist as a show of strength. In front of him is a coffee table with a birthday cake and card on. The card reads 'I literally couldn't like you more. Unless of course you turned into a dog'. Above him, celebratory bunting reads 'Luke's Birthday'.

Made a fleeting visit to the Access Bristol Accessibility Accelerator on Saturday! Sorry to those I missed, I unexpectedly had to be absent, however managed to catch some fantastic talks, demos and people. Super inspiring stuff seeing folks unite over inclusive accessible design! #AccessBristol

Had a lovely time bringing out my first ever music gear today to jam for our wonderful 3rd years testing out broadcast gear! These two are both around 14 years old at this point and very much kickstarted my audio career. I seem to have swapped them for 7 strings and blast beats these days, mind...

Today's #Movember proof of sweat. A slow 3km today which, for a computer scientist with a desk job and a dodgy hip that worsens in the cold, is not too shabby. Onwards!

Hey friends! I'm gonna be running and walking 60km (with a moustache) for Movember! You can donate, but it's more for mental health awareness for me. Check in on each other. The world is fucked up at the moment, so tell your fellow humans you love them ♥️ movember.com/m/13779640?m... #Movember

#Nerdfarters Day 1 - Pizza John don't lift your pencil. Starting off with a collaborative effort from this evenings pub quiz team (aptly named Honk and Bonk). None of them are Nerdfighters. ALL of them however, were committed to the bit. We came 4th out of 7. Not our best show. #DFTBA #Pizzamas

4 one-line drawings of Piza John on a quiz sheet. None of them are particularly good, but are artistic in their own right. An overlayed snippet shows the Quiz Team Name 'Honk and Bonk'.

Skate. is a wonderfully silly little game. Hoping more accessibility features come later down the line as they're a little thin on the ground currently, mind. #Skate

Told this dude at the garden centre a real rib tickler of a joke.

Luke dressed very autumnal and sat on a bench next to a decorative skeleton the same size as him (around 5ft 11). The skeleton has its arm around Luke. Luke is pointing his thumb to the skeleton and they both look like they're laughing.
