Happy World Mental Health Day! Especially to all the wonderful counter protesters in Yeovil today (protesting against the far right) you deserve to have as many good mental health days as possible (especially the bell ringers in Yeovil’s churches for drowning out the so-called ‘patriots’)

Anyway, my thoughts are with all those affected by the October 7th attacks and I hope the concerts in aid of Palestine (as I mentioned before) raise plenty of money, awareness and have the bestest time! Xxx (5)

Bloody hell! Me Da’s been reincarnated as that dog! 😂 thank you to my uncle Leon for sharing this with me 😁

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

anyway! Thank you to my other half Burridge, our friends Vat, Liam, Tom, Katy and Ewan AND! Thank you to Scotland! You all made this trip worthwhile xxx (3)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I really hope to see them both again soon but until then (and until I do anything else on this trip 🫪) that’s days 4 and 5 done and dusted! Xxx (5)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Today me and Burridge drove to Oban to meet up with my Dad’s cousin, Karla, and her daughter Rose, they really made the trip to Scotland worthwhile (not just because they gave us some Scottish goodies to share with the group 🥰😁) (4)

…though I didn’t see my boy Spencer The Painter climbing up any musical ladders 😭 despite this, it was such a lovely place to visit (if not a bit surreal!) anyway! Today! (3)

(with the family/clan’s origins going back to the 12th century! Though the castle dates back to the 13th century 😅) afterwards we visited the iconic Tobermory, if you’re from the UK, you’ll know or recognise this where they film the kids’ TV show Balamory! (2)

Another day in Scotland, another day of adventures (and feeling exhausted after 🙈…hence why this post includes yesterday’s outings 🫪) yesterday we visited The Isle of Mull via the ferry. We went to Duart Castle owned by the Maclean family/clan (1)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

But I DID get to meet up with my good friend Chloe (we realised it’s been 10 years since we last saw each other! 10! 😱) we also went to a pub called Waxy O’Connor’s for lunch which was amazing! (I mean I don’t rate pubs tbh so that’s high praise from me 😅) (3)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

(I’ll share photos of in and around the house once we’re on our way back down South…I don’t fancy doxxing myself 🫪) anyway! We visited Glasgow today and honestly I think I prefer York 🙈 the chaos of the crowds (…and frank rudeness of some strangers 🫪) wasn’t great (2)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Two posts from me in less than a week?! Hell! In less than 2 days?! It’s more likely than you think! Especially as me and the lads are now in Bonnie Scotland! 🤩🤩🤩 and for as far as the first day in Scotland has gone, it’s gone bloody lovely!…mostly once we got to the house we’re staying at 😅 (1)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I mean I’m not spiritual but the fact I turned the corner at one point and there was a train with the name ‘Thompson’ (my Da’s surname) says it all! 😁 anyway! I must thank Katy and Ewan for being our hosts for tonight in York BEFORE! We head to Scotland tomorrow! 😱😱😱 xxx (4)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

George Stephenson (one of the first pioneers in the British train world!) was a big inspiration to him and there was so much that reminded me of them both (3)

My favourite had to be the LGBTQ+ icon that is ‘This Shop Is So Gay’ (I mean need I say more?! I could have lived in that shop! 💖) then we headed to the national railway museum which reminded me of my late grandad Len (or ‘Da’ as he was affectionately known as by his grandkids 💖) (2)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

After not having a proper holiday away in about 8 years, today me and my other half Burridge have started our first proper holiday together in the whole time we’ve been together! 🤩😁 first stop on our journey is York and omg I swear I could have spent SO much longer looking around every shop! 😅 (1)

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

(I still feel so grateful that I FINALLY got to see them live on their Terrible Influence tour January last year 🥰😁) they both deserve so much love and I can’t wait to see where they’ll go next! Xxx (4)

Awwww! Your Puffle is way cuter though! 🥰😁 she reminds me of my boy Whisk, maybe less floofy though 😅💖

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This mf’er then proceeds to say he STRONGLY DISLIKES Club Penguin because he doesn’t want to compete with a Puffle?! My dude! You basically have a Puffle sat next to you! 😤😭

This is such a huge blow, not just because this month is Suicide Prevention Month but also for every month and for every person who needs this support. I remember contacting Papyrus back in 2017 and got through to the nicest Northern man, I wish I could thank and tell him how much better things are

Rest easy Dolly 💖 an icon for generations, I’m sure her iconic legacy will continue for many generations to come (especially as she was always there for the LGBTQ+ community, as much as they’re here for her!) though there’ll never be another Dolly, we need more people like her

I hope people actually listen to this alert…mostly because these alerts always scare the crap out of me 🫪 but I’m doubtful, I feel like people would rather have a BBQ in a park advertised by a shitty AI generated poster 😳

I’m hugely saddened to hear about the attacks at Berlin Pride last night. Pride should be a place without fear and prejudice, pride should be a place full of love, joy and safety 💖 especially after seeing the success of London Trans Pride, now (more than ever) is the time to support each other 💙

from being with your pets to painting or gardening and drinking lots of tea (or maybe something a little stronger as it’s your birthday 😅) you should have a birthday to celebrate however you like! (Hopefully coming over to mine for pizzas and birthday cake is a good start 😁) xxx (2)
