York is lovely, but my fave is these carved memorials in the Minster. Feels very influencer-couple of the Tudor era.

Caught between a "I need money so should monetise my talents" and a "why should I have to monetise everything I enjoy just to be able to live?"

Was great to meet you! Appearing suddenly out of the crowd with a "hello Internet people" was a masterful first move lol

Fascinating day with Rach at a conference examining the imperial relationship between Wales and India. Got to meet @rhyskamjones.bsky.social in the flesh who gave an awesome presentation. Also look at this gorgeous tapestry. Aces
