Two brilliant, thematic exhibitions in one museum #dhm #berlin. Great things happen when you assume that people want to be surprised and engaged by the past!

Just been asked for permission for school to use AI to generate images based on my son's creative writing. Just get it to write the story too why not.

If I'm going to commemorate anyone it would be all the people who didn't want to be crucified by the Romans rather than the one who volunteered for it.

Amazon are partnering with Comic Relief to sell their red noses. Last year Comic Relief raised £34 million which is how much Jeff Bezos makes in six hours. Dig deep everyone.

This will annoy the people on X who were so passionate about the right to kill people with their cars.

So, #Biffa employees trying their best to drive the Cetti's Warblers away from their nest in the River Park. If you try hard you can put a strimmer right through it. Fucking idiots. #portsunlight

First sighting this spring of the Cetti's Warbler at the Port Sunlight River Park yesterday...but this morning a Sedge Warbler too! Not bad for an old landfill site

To remember the suffering of our Lord I'm driving three hours to Brunton Park to watch Carlisle v Port Vale. Except in this version, I'm hoping Jesus kicks the s*** out of a legionary and doesn't get crucified.

When you didn't think you could get more excited about a forthcoming book but you just did. An author and illustrator immersed in landscapes. Can't wait.

I am delighted to announce that the illustrator for my forthcoming book, The Postal Paths, is fellow Cumbrian Mark Richards @fellranger.bsky.social. His pen and ink style is just perfect for the rural scenes (he was mentored by Alfred Wainwright). Book due April 24. linktr.ee/postalpaths
