#70Up may be ITV's greatest ever achievement, just for its sheer longevity and commitment. Regular but occasional. And unlikely to ever happen again on television. #ThisHasBeenAGlimpse #OfBritainsFuture

It’s not easy where I work. Sometimes the job is like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down again. Honest conversations help. Some of my colleagues have empathy in their bones.

4/5 days in work. Small positives. Gyros. Bougatsa. Nap. Rinse and repeat. I still have most of the feeling in my face. 👍

Honestly, the ‘Up’ series is some of the most important TV ever made. Michael Apted really asked some punchy questions. Knowing that 70 Up is the last to be made makes it all the more poignant.

Last year, for Mineral Cup 2025, I ink-sketched all the minerals in a handmade sketchbook as an exercise to learn more about minerals. This was the result: #mincup #mincup25 #mincup26 #minerals #sketchbook #sciart

a collage of 16 photos os my minerals sketchbook, each photo a double page spread with two different minerals inked, the ones who participated in the 2025 mineral cup.

So for #hARToween26 I thought I'd open up the prompts to contributions. Ideally a prompt should be: -spooky -one or two words, 3 maximum -specific while also being vague enough to inspire varied interpretations/creativity Examples: Creepy Cabin, Ghost Bride, Movie Monster, etc Reply w yours 👻 ⬇️

A billionaire handing £36m to a political party isn’t a “level playing field”. It’s a warning about how easily enormous private fortunes can translate into political power. Whatever your politics, no individual should have this much financial influence over 🇬🇧 democracy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can see the best of humanity in hospitals. It’s the partner/friend/child clinging tenaciously to the person in the bed. It’s the ‘we have a plan and we’ll work through it together’. It’s the look of love on faces. I know I don’t have that. I’m not embittered. Sometimes it’s just hard.

Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count. He was a vampire but that doesn’t explain the real estate or affluent area. Yes, most vampires seem to come from aristocratic backgrounds but not every vampire can afford a castle. Where are the working class vampires?
