A year and a half ago I'd never done theatre before... yesterday I spent the entire day improvising as a cardboard knight in a magical forest whilst being chased (and occasionally climbed) by hoards of feral children!! 🤣
Me, dressed as a cardboard knight downing an energy drink...

If AI is actually good and useful then why do I need a pop-up in every goddamn app and program asking me if I want to use it every 5 seconds?!!!

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Walking through Central Birmingham and there is a man playing AI generated religious reggae over a speaker... and there is something so deeply dystopic about hearing a pitchperfect robot skinwalker croon about how I need Jesus.

This Saturday I will be in character all day as part of the immersive 'Mabon Tree' event at Lansdown Hall in Stroud! Meet Benry. A spoilt overgrown princling who stole his dad's sword to go off into the forest and become a hero. Thing is, he's terrible at it and scared of pretty much everything!!
Me, with a cardboard shield, cardboard and plastic sword. Everything is drawn on in a childish fashion. My shield and head band say 'Hero' but some of the letters are backwards. I look terrified.

The unironic existence of the euphemisms 'grape' and 'sewer slide' are such an indictment of the mirror world we've built.

Me and my mum in front of one of her larger paintings: Abstract squares of blue, white and green with a single red stripe. The word 'BURNT' is visible behind is in graffiti.

My stupid toxic trait is...you know those 'can you hang from a bar for 90 seconds' scam things at Tottenham Court Road, that rotate, and are definitely a scam?! I think I could do it... I DEFINITELY couldn't... but I THINK I could...

*Tiktok dance* I lift weights coz I equate my worth with not being the painfully awkward skinny teenager I was but I feel guilty for betraying him because he was a nice kid also I kind of want to fight the Grim Reaper and win I know that's silly I'm too poor for a therapist 🎶

The way DT isn't just a bad guy but the archetypal 90s end of game boss. A sort of hulking cigar-smoking kingpin type, even seen as laughably unsubtle by 8 year-olds.

A challenging situation. I am writing about a transgender woman (now deceased) who had a very complicated relationship with her transition, having some major regrets about the process, but also a lot of this was tied to her treatment by others... 1/

There is a statue of a young man in the village of Marpissa that I have seen since I was a boy. I was always told he was a martyr, that he refused to tell the Nazis where the Greek villagers were hiding and was hung from a tree. 1/2

Me and my friend Sheldon in the mountains of Paros. It's very hot. We look a bit tired but are trying to smile through the sun stroke.
