First time playing Blood on the Clocktower last night! I was the Zombuul demon and did a brill job murdering people avoiding capture. Got down to the final three in the village and evil won! Except, no, I was actually the Lunatic all along- i’d been manipulated by the true demon the whole game 😞🫣🫠

Day drinking followed by pyjamas at 7.30pm is honestly where its at.

Friday night, rewatching The Blair Witch Project (1999) for the nth time…I think it might actually be a comfort film at this point? Me throughout:

I only picked two of these films to watch. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Well needed recovery before the weekend, The Odyssey was incredible. Want to go back next week! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

I had a surprise birthday party recently -old now, thanks- and the DJ played Cocteau Twins’ “Heaven or Las Vegas” followed by New Order’s “Blue Monday”. I havent stopped thinking about that moment for weeks.

Fun weekend displaying at my first Awesome Bricks in @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social Museum of Flight! Brilliant venue, great visitors, excellent Lego displays. Tough few weeks of prep building to this size, but it looked great in the end! 🧡 #afol #moc #lego #awesomebricks

thinking about her ❤️ Jurassic Park was released in theaters on this day in 1993.

Now for a look at tomorrow's newspapers... Prints / postcards: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/product-page...

Akira the film is 37 years old, and im 39 years old. It wasnt until tonight at Eden Court that we crossed paths for the first time. Im almost scared to watch anything else now. Truly medium defining. (It’s aged a lot better than I have)

This is a true story.

it’s twin peaks day ☕

Looking forward to Misty Isle Bricks next month, and our now yearly Skye mini holiday! Lots more Lego shows and days planned for the year ahead 🤞🏻🧡

Anything not saved will be lost. I made a small save point for my upcoming Medieval Fantasy Village Lego MOC, a marker for adventurers/players to visit. Can’t be too careful with all those rogues, mages, and city guards about, better save just in case! #lego #moc #afol #legomoc #legodnd

Jan 8th 2016 - The replicant Roy Batty was incepted. 📽️📅 Blade Runner (1982)

Xmas Annual Leave, you were joyous, fun, and long needed. My situation challenge advice tarot reading was bang on/blindingly obvious too 🫣

Boxing Day pilgrimage to the Xmas serpent. We wished for more crisps.

Spent the last week sneaking out on school nights to go to the Inverness Film Festival, and it’s the *best* time ive had in a while. Defo helped winter blues. More next year please.

Tasty bit of videogame reading arrived, just in time for the weekend! @apwot.bsky.social

Lynne Ramsay is a generational -and national- talent and you should go see Die My Love.  (my first film watched of my first Inverness Film Festival attended!)

Happy Halloween to my mum who would often calm any worries my younger sister had about ghosts with the reassurance that "It's not ghosts you want to be worried about, its murderers climbing in through the window"

One of my favourite cinema experiences tbh. Went in completely blind to the source material. Massive cinematography. Incredible soundscapes. Desert power.

After 5 seasons, 51 episodes, and a whole lot of variables along the way, our Fargo rewatch is complete. I can easily say it’s the best TV ive ever watched. Beautifully profound. Staggeringly so. S3 > S2 > S1 > S5 > S4 I have a *lot* of feelings about it. Ask me about it next time you see me.

Yes. Also now suddenly wishing I was friends with a mechanic, too.

my response to every situation

Learning this the hard way this summer. Its not even that hot outside 😭

"zines have no algorithm" 💘

Jun 29th - Travis Bickle wrote in his diary that he's started eating right and exercising regularly. 📽️📅 Taxi Driver (1976)

Loving the Switch 2. Excellent console, phenomenal controller design.

It's Pride month, so they legally have to let me put my gay nonsense in the paper

It's finally done!📝 In this blog post, I apply my theory of an archaeological gameworld mental model to Blue Prince, and argue that half the fun of the game is in what happens off-screen: florencesmithnicholls.com/2025/06/03/d...

Hope you all have a magic weekend! Small build featuring some of my @lego B&P order from this week! Ive wanted to do some magical fantasy esque builds for a while, so here we are! #lego #afol #legoinscotland

My first swimming lesson with baby this morning. Big kicks, smiles, and splashes, they really came alive- a proper swim baby! Never been prouder 😭

A little sentimentality is forgivable at the end of an era, so here's me saying farewell to the Nintendo Switch, the console that accompanied me through some of the toughest and most rewarding years of my life when I was a new parent www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

Credits rolled on Blue Prince after 44 in game days racking my brain, solving puzzles, and opening door after door. Brilliant game. And I know there’s still more to discover…

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made… Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators. TERF Island needs to die.
