We went looking for the "Hidden hut". We saw this and thought, well THAT'S not very well hidden. This is not the hidden hut #Hiddenhut #Cornwall #Cafe #totallynotthehiddenhut

I've just had one of those nights where it was so surreal that no one will ever believe me if I try to explain it. I was serving shots, I was explaining how tips work, I was assuring diners that meals were gluten free. This is all fine, except I don't work in a restaurant

There is a bookshop in Ditchling full of books about folklore (I suspect it might be magic, I can't prove it, but it probably is) Anyway, we just had a huge treat of an evening watching the @threeravenspod.bsky.social there. Sussex folklore galore. #loregasm

Everyone stop what you are doing and order this book now. Heard and interview with the author on @folklorepod.bsky.social and had to get it. It's amazing. Just so ridiculously charming and I needed it. I really did. It's a much needed tonic to all the negative news and crap that is flying around.

Loving the current theme on Fabulous Folklore. #Newgate was a big part of my life for a while*, so this was a joy. I was technically an inmate there for a year. I got paid for it though.

What a weird way to tell the world you just don't "get" what art is.

Well that was an experience. Thank you @dannyrobins.bsky.social er al A good night, but the best takeaway was that we can all have a different opinion and have fun together. You can be a believer and like a skeptic, a skeptic and like a believer. Or just not know. Good times

Apparently, Facebook thinks my new theatre project is breaking community rules. It's not. But I'll try and start a revolution of sorts if you promise to take a look: www.pitchforktheatre.co.uk #NewPlaywrites #NewPlays #Folklore #York #Brighton #Theatre #TalesofTwoCities

Dear FDA, My nan wants some #Tylenol for her headache but is meeting a friend, can she still make eye contact after one Tylenol or should she wait until later?

Hex Rake @lexyhex.bsky.social · 23/09/2025
Dear Science, Given that we don't have #Tylenol in the UK, am I a different brand of autistic? Also, will taking paracetamol help top up my autism a bit day to day? How much do I need to take to finally be good at maths?

Vague,but basically a bad year has been peppered with a LOT of inspiration from the @folklorepod.bsky.social , @karenstollznow.bsky.social, Blake Smith & @mattbaxter.bsky.social, @icysedgwick.bsky.social and many more. Now have confidence and drive to channel my love of folklore and theatre ❤️

Finally, I have found somewhere to channel all my folklore and theatre obsession. At the beginning of the year, my resolution was to learn and research local folklore and history. Then the year got HARD. But I still did it. And now I've got the perfect place to make use of it.

I don't really miss being a professional actor. I love being able to be in a theatre on a regular basis and getting to play super little character roles. The parts get better with age. Last show for a while. It's a good one #MrsJoe #actorlife #SouthwickPlayers
