Yes! Go team blue!!

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Me and four friends on a rollercoaster!

Whooped like Super Mario the entire ride!

I told him. He is delighted!

A group of 8 gay men in the Netherlands having a drink in an outdoors bar.

Bears, beers and rollercoasters.
An exceptionally well-deserved break if I say so myself!

Imagine if I used the same logic at work?!

Sacha, why are you late?

I am late because I did not arrive at work on time.

*Author's note: I know nothing about how trains work.

When a train is delayed it's sort of wild how you get an explanation which is basically 'the train is delayed because the train is delayed'

Points failure?
Signaling problem?
Staff shortage?

They don't actually tell you anything!!!

Book Review: "Queer as Folklore" by Sacha Coward 5/5 - I wish I could inject this book into my veins...

On a tricky tricky day like today receiving a book review like THIS is a proper life saver:

'I wish I could inject this book into my veins'

Thank god for big sisters. X

Thanks for understanding. X there's another date I think. X

It's been... a day.
Up since 3am. But both my dad and mum are stable (it's a whole thing.) and my sister is going to take over care duties for a bit. So, I AM off to the Netherlands looking and feeling slightly like a shellshocked giant ground sloth...

To all who wanted to attend my tour today at the British Museum at 2PM, I'm afraid I have a poorly parent and have had to cancel. Also using Eventbrite is like navigating the Minotaur's labyrinth so I have been unable to email you all an apology, but have issued refunds. Big gay stressed hugs!

Just blew my nose to a perfect deus irae!

Oh mate, the irony is not lost on us guides

But he's not a train!!!

Cough... 'Puhstuh'?!

I won't lie... I am one paycheck away from treating myself!

Doh...now I get it!

It's Christ amongst the doctors. Mo excuse!

Renaissance painting of Jesus Christ and the Doctors. Hes showing two fingers towards the viewers.

Fuming! Went to the National Gallery and Jesus Christ flipped me off in front of everyone, nobody said anything. Still shaking!

BUT HE IS LITERALLY NOT A TRAIN!!!!

I live in a flawed country. A very flawed country... but MY GOD. Thomas The TRAIN?!!!!!

My inner 5 year-old awoke... and made a shiv.

Today I learnt that some Americans call Thomas The Tank Engine 'Thomas The Train' and the white hot rage I felt was almost beyond comprehension... 😠

Ps thanks for making me a total beefcake!

Me, looking scared, in front of a graffiti covered wall showing a massive aquatic monster.

It's behind me isn't it?!

An evening curled up on the sofa reading Queer as Folklore by @sachacoward.bsky.social with the dogs either side of me. Perfect evening

Oh wow I love it!!!

A monochrome drawing in sepia hues, showing a big array of mythological creatures, grouped around a portrait of the author Sacha Coward. From left to right the image shows a Demon Twink, an old Hag on a broom, a hunky Werewolf mid-transformation, an impish and androgynous version of Peter Pan, a Mermaid with a harp, a scary Vampire Lady, Gilgamesh and Enkidu, embracing, a fox-spirit Kitsune, a anthropomorphic Unicorn, with a small wicked Fairy on his hand, a humanoud version of a Xenomorph wearing high-heels and a jockstrap, and Okaburo, the Chrysanthemum Boy.

QUEER AS FOLKLORE.

I've finally read @sachacoward.bsky.social's amazing queer history of myths and monsters, and I just had to sketch along and bring my favourite creatures onto the page.

Eight gay men in the woods 👀
Away for a long weekend 👀
In a small log cabin alone 👀

We're going to play so many boardgames!
