I’m at #thanksgiving at my sister’s. I’m dressed like a 1970s high school drama teacher 🥴

Things mother had saved just for me: plastic cleaner, lactaid tablets, trans pride flags, bin liners. I’m all set!! #thanksmom

Your gal is #whelmed this weekend. Utterly under siege, under water, under fire with deadlines. Fizzing with rage. Also on a plane and questioning all of my life choices this afternoon. Some music: https://youtu.be/IE-n8k9qxBQ?si=XnK4_zzx4d6dTF7E

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum.

Roll up! Roll up! Get your Christmas main course (serves 6) for only £195 from M&S. I cannot get my head around this. It’s also sold out? Who has this kind of money? Find them and take away their non-dom status. #inflation

Still one of my fave photos ever taken in my local park, this is my flock of #crows and #jackdaws settling into a tree while I get ready to feed them their treats. This group are well-known to me since 2020. From my #scotlandsquared my series about transplanted life in #scotland

Horrendous week so far for deadlines and weather. Here’s another from my #scotlandsquared series, it’s Dalton’s Scrapyard in #leith. An industrial holdout in an area of very rapid #gentrification #photography #scotland

I’m trying so hard to look forward to the warmth and light of #summer although it isn’t actually blowing a horrendous gale today. So we got that going for us. From #scotlandsquared a series about life in #scotland #photography #blueskyartshow #scapes

Robin of #carbonanotglue last Friday night. A brilliant night of 90 minutes of continuous #ramones played with gusto and precision.

Trying to find the (very) small joys of winter. Like the perpetual dawn effect of being this far north. It’s 4:30 PM GMT. #scotland #winter #SAD

Another from my life in #scotland series. A small boy (unknown to me) waits for his chips at St Andrew Fish and Chips in #portobello in #edinburgh I too was waiting for my chips. #chippie #chipsfortea

Today’s theme for #blueskyartshow is #vertical. I have this unnecessarily arty shot for you of #kirkgatehouse in #leith

Another from my #scotland series: the interior of #nationalmuseumofscotland which is still not on #bluesky (please get off twitter?) Many a rainy winter day spent wandering around in there. Always excellent. #edinburgh #blueskyartshow

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about #Fightingbirds so I’ve got two. #herons fighting with a random T-Rex in attendance, and two #crows having a spirited debate re: breeding territory. #greyheron #carrioncrow

From the #scotland series: common bottle-nosed #dolphin playing in the #soundofiona I have never lived in a place with such abundance of wilderness/wildlife. So many places where animals simply show up and are magnificent. #blueskyartshow #photography #iona

1000% addicted to this brand of #chai and drinking industrial quantities to get me through a tough project 🫣 #elaichi #cardamon
