Nothing like an archive saying "it's actually across 29 volumes...so...we'll give you 1 as a sample to see how difficult this will be." My girls, gays and theys, I am a horrible combination of determined and delusional. I will be there. Give me all 29 and watch me scream.

In an effort to save money (please see last posts as to why) I am asking for assistance in the form of lunch. Please drop your favourite instant noodles below. Noods if you will. I recently had the maggi chicken ones, which were a good 5.5/10. I'm looking for your 7s and 8s.

TERF Wizard fans will work their ass off to make sure a powerline doesn't cross a non-existent grave for a fictional character, but won't boycott the series to protect real life trans people. These people are not well.

My talk, Lessons in History, is now sold out. Yay! After events this weekend I feel the need to clarify that I don't profit from my history work. Venue hire + refreshments + eventbrite fees totaled more than I made from tickets.

A lovely day with some of my very favourite people ❤️

A sad trombone noise of an ending for a story I’ve been researching for months as a man escapes justice due to “a lack of evidence.” Come to my talk and you’ll see just how much evidence I have uncovered. (spoiler: enough to 24601 the shit out of that fella)

Devastated to find the word "chic" is being used in a disposable meme way because I often use it to sell myself on doing things alone. Going to the cinema alone? Chic. Eating in a nice restaurant alone? Chic. The museum alone? Awfully chic darling. Now it's just code for "gurl, go to therapy."

Bought this Alexisonfire jacket about…6 years ago in the hope that I would some day fit into it and hoo boy, today is that day.

In today's edition of what the fuck does this say, we ask the question, what the fuck does this say? Full record also in case it helps.

My bank froze my card this morning because I tried to buy a Red Bull at the Spar. It appears I have been foiled at last, for 'tis I, the master thief of the North East, the Rogue of the G21, the Charlatan of Contactless payments, here to steal your bank card and spend £2.69 on a sugar free red bull

"I have a theory that if you shaved off all of her hair, she might have just been incarcerated at Duke Street Prison."

I find Julia Child's voice endlessly comforting so sometimes I like to imagine a muppet version of her telling me I did a good job when I'm cooking. Or doing anything really. Aw thanks muppet Julia, your support means everything to me.

Good news! I got a grant to continue my energy project which will be a revolutionary initiative creating a democratically led supplier for our community which will 1) immediately lower bills for schools and community orgs 2) utilise income for community benefit with no shareholder payouts

Down to the last few tickets for this! If you fancy going, but aren't sure yet, let me know and I'll reserve a space for you. We'll also get spicy margs in a former brothel after. Info: Saturday October 17th, 11:30am @ the Boardwalk in the Merchant City. £8 or DM to secure a place xo

She’s cute. She is the moment. She is recovering from pneumonia and has run out of red bull.

Finally got around to The Vampire Lestat and I want to play that Akasha monologue on repeat. It is my mantra now. I am going to do very intense yoga and just shout I AM THE ANSWER

Would very much appreciate it if you wouldn't let me leave the house anymore. I am a menace. Was walking up the Drygate and overheard a group of American tourists wondering about what an old wall might have been for and gave them a 20 minute lecture on Duke Street Prison. Unsolicited.

While down with the aul’ pneumonia I decided to rewatch Game of Thrones, hoping that time would allow me to be kinder to that final season. Well golly gosh time had no bearing on it at all now did it? Wow.

This will be exciting to exactly 1 person and that person is me. I've always had enough proof that this is the wedding record for Ann Sophia Minette and James M'Cloy after they eloped together to London. And today I found more evidence. (excuse all the different McCloy/McLay/M'Clays plz)

I go back and forth on which was the best ever tweet. Currently I think it's this.

@gavtrdq.bsky.social happy birthday to the third tallest person I know. His name is Graeme. It is also your birthday, the tallest person I know, Gav. Happy birthday <3

Panel three is just me announcing my weekend plans because after a week of meetings, emails, zoom calls and more meetings, I generally do not want to talk to anybody, but I do want to eat cake and receive gifts. From me.

There's a Scottish history fantasy magic game and before everyone is like "omg andy they made a game for you" it's got William Wallace in vague Highland dress and tartan. You're all lucky I currently have pneumonia because you'd be getting a 10 part video about why this is wrong.

What a lovely array of groceries I have purchased. Fresh fruits, vegetables, new spices and oils to season and make sauces. My ancestors would marvel at this. The ghost of my 4x Granny Kernaghan: come here to me now, you don’t want to be doin any of that sure. G’on and order yerself a pizza.

I had to do a rework of my talk. No more witchcraft. No more Mary. I couldn't cut the stories of Glasgow's Victorian women. Stories that might not have been told since they were gossiped about in brothel bedrooms, on tenement stairs, on factory floors and the cells of Duke Street Prison.
