I think if you asked what would be the worst thing to happen to me before my 5 and a half hour journey with four bags, the answer would be 'lift is broken and the train is on the furthest possible platform'

five years ago I made some videos about history (courtesy of @sachacoward.bsky.social), consequently spent my teenage years dicking about in very professional heritage spaces, and now I do a history degree and encourage other young people to misbehave in museums 👍
I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?
