I'm really just here to follow people now twitter is a hellscape, but I am a real person not a bot. I'm into sewing, fashion, costuming, history, archaeology, linguistics, space, dinosaurs, and travel. Always punch Nazis, healthcare is a right and that includes abortions, and honestly, eat the rich.

Who is my favorite muppet and why?
Gotta be Janice. When I was tiny and saw the Great Muppet Caper, her 'accidentally' saying into a sudden silence "It's my life, okay? So if I want to live on a beach and walk around naked..." really spoke to me.

Well, this is exciting news!
Multiple countries sign landmark deal to build giant wind farms in the North Sea "that directly connect to various countries through high-voltage subsea cables, under plans that are expected to provide 100 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power."
The US, meanwhile, is shutting down offshore wind.

Ok, but how the hell do I have 1K followers? Does it keep the numbers from the tons of bots and scammers who followed me that I've blocked? Feels like a flaw in the system, anyone who sees 1K followers and thinks I've got the juice is going to be disappointed, I live in the comments.

At the end of my year abroad, I got mono so I couldn't handle the 2 weeks of touring I had planned on. I was just going to stay in uni housing, but the parents of a local friend said 'she can't stay up two flights of stairs with no food or phone, bring her here', and they nursed me until my flight.

Was doing some experimental work, cut myself with my obsidian chip tool then IMMEDIATELY followed that up with a bloody poke from the bone awl I was making with it. Experimental work not really my forte!
Oooh good question for historians and archaeologists... what's the oldest thing you've accidentally been injured by?
I've cut myself with numerous flint flakes and implements ranging from 6000-3500 years old) - I'm sure someone can outdo that...

I think mine is technically the Effra, but as it currently runs just under/through the basements of several nearby large buildings I can't exactly post a picture! I have technically stood in it though, I toured one of them while it was in spring flood and splashed through the puddles.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Lack of handrails! So many sets with like 50 story drops and not even a railing to stop you walking off the edge. And failure to follow adequate, to say nothing of correct, quarantine procedures, especially in space shows.
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

Sat opposite Mark Gatiss at a restaurant, spent the whole meal pretending I hadn't visibly recognised him.
Also saw John Boyega getting off a bus in Brixton right after his first Star Wars came out, he saw me see him and gave me the 'thanks for being cool and not making a scene' nod.

Sigourney Weaver: “I wish they put out a director’s cut of the movie because, at the last minute, DreamWorks decided to release the movie with some of the more sophisticated scenes cut that Alan [Rickman] was in because it needed a kids’ movie to go up against Stuart Little.”

How can 5000 square feet, an immense size for 3(/4?) bedrooms, feel so crowded!?? And where is the person who lives in the 3rd upstairs bedroom supposed to bathe? Maybe that's why they say 3 bedrooms on the listing instead of the 4 in the floorplan? This is... a strong style.

ET. My brother, who was 4, did not understand a) that you don't talk during a movie in the theater, or b) Elliot's name, so the whole theater was treated to irregular but loud questions on the theme of 'What's Idiot doing now Mommy? What's Idiot doing? Is Idiot OK?'
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
