Can't express how hard I have been hyperfixating on this album. 👌🏻 Absolute bangers.
Hayley Williams is legit one of my favourite artists. If you haven't listened to her solo stuff you're in for a treat.
Screenshot of Spotify playing "Kill Me" by Hayley Williams. The song is near it's end. The artwork is a back and white photo of Hayley Williams face with yellow lines drawn over the eyes.

I'll be at Develop Brighton this week! Mostly in part to the fact I live in Brighton!

Here for: Psychology, Mental Health, Accessibility, Games in Education or Grief in Games. 😊 I'm wearing two suits this week, including a DEBUT for a new suit. Please be hyped for this. Say hi!
A mid-length selfie showcasing my suit "Lush Blush" which is a pastel pink. I'm smiling slightly. The suit looks really nice.

Y'all it's nearly summer and I'm hype for things I have coming up. 👀

It's going to be GOING OFF. So many exciting things on the horizon.
A selfie of myself with a fresh trim. The wall is a light cream behind me. I'm smiling softly, wearing a Fall Out Boy t-shirt that depicts a pumpkin with a frown and smile. The lyrics "I don't have the guts to keep it together" are split between the top and bottom of the pumpkin.

Imagine - my utter shock and distain about having big feelings in therapy.
Despite, choosing to go to therapy, asking for, and then getting said feelings.

It's been 5 months, and it's slow progress. But it feels very important. An I'm proud of that.
A shoulder mid-distance selfie. I'm wearing a yellow t-shirt that looks as if it's a coloured notebook in shot. It's actually a piece of Father John Misty merch. My hair is combed over, beard neatly trimmed and I'm wearing glasses smiling a little.

I present, TRIPLE LEMON CAKE.
Lemon drizzle sponge, candied lemons, and a layer of lemon curd in the middle. 👌🏻
A photo of the whole cake from the top down. The round sponge cake is a golden brown sitting on a plate. The cake is decorated with thin circular lemon slices. A barely visible Animal Crossing chopping board is benith. A photo of the interior of the cake were a slice has been cut out. It shows a layer of sponge, curd, and sponge where Sultana's are visible within. The curd runs down one of the cake edges where the slice was made. A slice of the cake, on a grey plate. The angle showcases the candied lemons, and zest on top. With the distinct layers noted earlier.

Insta got my thirst-trap content, so why not here too? 😜

Some days, you just wake up and choose - Slay.
Today was one such day.
Happy Global Accessibility Day!
A mid-wide selfie from the chest upwards. I'm wearing a deep-red, Merlot coloured suit - of which the jacket and tie are visible in the photo. I'm wearing a white shirt under the jacket and sunglasses. There's a small smile, as I look directly at the camera with a well groomed beard, and hair combed over tidily.

Don't want to alarm anyone. But I think Ricky P may not be real.

Because I too (in March) gave them the business in the time attack mode... 👀

Six portraits of the players, on a branded image showcasing the GR 2025 event benefiting Take This. Everyone looks fab in their headshots, and everyone is in a potion-style bottle.

Join me in wishing a very happy birthday to my favourite boy Mario! ♥️

He's one of my best pals, my walking buddy, and all round good lad.

Mario is also pro Trans rights and you should be too. 🏳️‍⚧️
Mario the dog, a Yorkshire Terrier looking pup is curled up and laying down on a blanket that displays Toy Story aliens. Mario is looking at the camera, with soft eyes. You can see he's wearing a delightful jumper.

Be unfair if y'all over here missed out on my thirst trap content. 😘

Fresh trim today. ✂️
A mid-length selfie. I'm posing with my right arm bent and my hand touching the side of my head. In a flexing pose. I'm smiling and my hair is offensively neat and styled due to recently having a hair and beard trim. I'm wearing a bright pink t-shirt that reads "Poem Zone" in an 80's style font. This is a piece of Father John Misty merch referring to a lyric from the song "The Songwriter" taken from the album "God's favourite customer".

Can't beat that first class of the semester (my first class in the new job!) feeling!

Starting with a strong message courtesy of @drkowert.bsky.social!

"Be excellent to each other... And always cite your sources."

Start as you mean to go on! 🫶🏻
A selfie at chest distance. I'm smiling, looking particularly dashing as my beard and hair is well groomed. I'm wearing a purple blazer and a white t-shirt. The t-shirt has a yellow rectangle in the background, with a blue one overlapping it. White text in a 8-bit, all caps font reads: "Be excellent to each other... And always cite your sources".

They call this look "Burnt Sugar".
Why?
Well, because it is both hot and sweet of course.
A selfie from mid-distance. I'm smiling softly, wearing glasses and my hair and beard are well combed and tidy. I'm wearing a brown sweatshirt - the colour could be best described as "Burnt Sugar".

Something special about seeing a book you wrote a chapter in, on a library shelf.
@drkowert.bsky.social here's your Witcher shelfie! 🫶🏻
A library book shelf, filled with books all leaning slightly to the left. The books all share a theme of being related to TV shows in some way. Second in from the right is "The Witcher | Kowert" denoting the Psychgiest of pop Culture the Witcher edited by Dr Rachel Kowert.
