Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Just needs to get a bit colder and then the beard can return. Summer with a beard is a bastard as I love it, but my face gets sweaty and then the acne comes back. 020

Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 31/05/2026So I just woke up laughing, never experienced that before. So in the dream I'm playing D&D or some such at a table with @robjhayes.bsky.social sat across from me. He's roleplaying and says 'Help!' but as he does his voice breaks and I chime in 'heeeellllpppp!' in a higher pitch 1/2 150

Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Got asked whilst walking to Hema today about the ski bag 'What have you got in there a body or something?' which I abruptly said yes to and then explained it was fencing gear and then made a thrusting motion. #Hema #Swordcialists 030
Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Work, Hema and then a few drinks at the sports bar after. Should be a good day, coffee machine I ordered is ace, took a little damage in transit. But nothing that prevents it's function, could have chased it. But the delivery company would say it wasn't well protected. 1/2 120

Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I just want someone to make the coffee while I rot in bed until I catch a whiff of it and scamper across like the odd goblin of a man I am, is that too much to ask? 020
Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Got asked about what was in my ski bag yesterday as I was headed to the hall for Hema 'The last person who asked' got an awkward laugh, maybe not the best work. I on the other hand cackled at their bewildered expression. #Hema #Swordcialists 170

Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I'm glad I can turn off that part of my brain, or a lot of the fantasy, historical kinda media I enjoy would be ruined 🤣 030
Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 04/02/2026The one downside of knowing even a little about swordfighting? Fucking ruins some media, did Geralt look fucking cool doing the spin around thing? Yes, would I have impaled him with pretty much any sharp object with disgusting vigour the moment his back was turned? Also yes. 130
Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 03/02/2026In happier news I ordered myself a nice waxed jacket that should be here Thursday and had a happy accident ordering whiskey. Had a bottle of Kilchoman Sanaig in my cart and forgot, checked the email Monday and realised I'd ordered two of them! I'd be annoyed, but Sanaig is divine 🤣 010
Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Fucking flagshaggers in my town sticking up union jacks and st George's crosses, suffice to say I wasn't surprised when I was told one of them had a photo with Tommy Robinson on Facebook.

Tom Clews (He/Him) @misanthromantic.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Do I know anyone who does Hema in or around Leeds in the UK? I ask as @rikworth.bsky.social is looking for a club. Leeds Armoury one exists but they couldn't find a contact for them other than FB which I assume they don't have. Cheers, people #hema #Swordcialists 255
