Two particularly notable things that stand out to me in Beth’s story: - Both her triggering infections were almost entirely asymptomatic - She is an *Olympic athlete* which leaves absolutely no room for those recurring ideas that it’s all down to “not trying hard enough” or “fear of exercise” 🙄

Beth Dobbin: British Olympic sprinter in bed for 22 hours a day after ME diagnosis

Beth Dobbin ran for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Five years on, she is largely bedbound after being diagnosed with ME, a devastating illness for which there is no cure.

I had to go look this one up to confirm and...yes it's real I didn't even realise there still were Romanovs, let alone one willing to be handcuffed to (checks notes) DJ Fat Tony for a TV show Katie Price and Suella Braverman is also extremely WTF

In doing this I have almost certainly ensured that those guys in China do *not* in fact succeed in bringing back Polaroid pack film. Sorry about that folks, my bad 😬

I have invested the princely sum of £23.61 while they're still cheap, just in case those guys in China really do succeed in bringing back Polaroid pack film 🤞 It's in really good condition too, looks barely used. Not many genuine Hasselblad accessories you'll see for that price!

Close up photograph of the end of a Polaroid film holder for a Hasselblad camera. It is a sturdy looking rectangle of black plastic, not much to see really! It looks in good condition, and has a badge that reads "100; HASSELBLAD; SWEDEN" and the brand "POLAROID" written below.

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

So this makes me think it's time to pick up a Hasselblad Polaroid back while they're still cheap, just in case 🤞 ...anything I should know about which one to look for? I don't really know my way around Polaroid peel apart film so I want to make sure I get one which will be compatible

Chad Hill@chadhill.bsky.social · 4w ago

Light lens lab still hinting at progress with their attempts to start new manufacturing of peel apart. A little video on insta shows them pulling a test pack (with no film?) through a back. 🤩🤩🤩😅 www.instagram.com/reel/Ddao8IN... #BelieveInFilm #InstantRegret

It’s official, not even being the Actual Pope is enough to get you out of family tech support duty

Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · last mo.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s brother, John, told Italian media that the pope helped him file his tax return and, over a video call, got him back into a computer he had locked himself out of. Prevost propped his iPad on the dead machine and asked his brother what to do. “Because I’m computer illiterate.”

Sigur Ròs with an orchestra in Glasgow last night 🥹✨✨ Yes this is the same gig we saw in London. Yes I went again and I REGRET NOTHING. Would happily watch this every 6 months or so until the heat death of the universe Excuse the potato quality photo, I only had my phone with me this time.

Very low res colour photograph taken at a concert, from an aisle seat in an upper level, with a good clear view of the stage. On stage is an orchestra, with a small choir off to one side, all dressed in black. They are difficult to pick out, but the three members of the band Sigur Ròs can be seen in amongst the orchestra, just in front of the conductor. Jonsi is standing in the centre, singing into a microphone. The stage is dramatically and brightly lit, with smoke effects. The orchestra are mostly lit by white lights, while there is purple behind the choir. Blue lighting can be seen on the stairs in front of me. The rest of the room is in deep black darkness.

Anybody want to get into cricket, but with more than the usual number of volcanoes? 🌋 I have enough of a Sigur Rós obsession to type the accent on the ‘o’ and have a favourite 8-minute untitled crescendo if that counts

Iceland Cricket@icelandcricket.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We need more talented cricketers in Iceland. If you can play a bit and have an Icelandic grandparent or fifth cousin, get in touch. If you have even watched some films by Baltasar Kormákur, we will think about it.

Incredible John Polaroid: We've got this collaboration with Pokemon, but we need to figure out how to sell it. What's a demographic that likes Pokemon, the visual arts and our brand of kitschy retro tech? The one trans woman in the room: *raises hand*

Morag Perkins@moragperkinsphoto.com · 2mo ago

Petapixel expressing bewilderment at the choice of Sylveon for the third Pokemon themed camera there. Nope. I don't see it. Can't think why anybody I know might be likely to want one... ... ... *cough* 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ *cough* POLAROID KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING

Absolutely magical evening last night at Jupiter Artland, celebrating my recent Big Birthday. Dinner in the woods with my favourite humans ❤️ Jupiter Artland is bonkers in the best possible way - highly recommend their wild dining experience if you're looking for an event that's a bit different!

Photo taken in the garden behind the café at Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park near Edinburgh. A woman is taking a photo of a sculpture on the lawn called "Piss Flowers" by Helen Chadwick. In the foreground are a few pastel pink metal cafe tables and chairs on a brick laid patio area, with an expanse of lush green lawn behind. Dotted about on the lawn are a set of white structures that vaguely resemble flowers, each about a foot high. Behind the lawn there is a small slope, with a high green hedge behind surrounding the garden. The woman is standing just in front of the hedge - she is wearing a flowing pink pleated maxi skirt that exactly matches the pink shade of the chairs, balancing out the whole image nicely.Interior of Cafe Party at Jupiter Artland, designed by artist Nicolas Party. The whole space is an art piece in itself. The walls are painted a bright pink, with bold colourful alien looking plants and fungi painted on them. The photograph looks towards a gable end, where a colourful, modern painting hangs showing a man with three birds sitting on his head and shoulders. In the foreground is a low hanging pendant light like a floating white globe, and some cafe tables and chairs. The chairs are all black, and the tables have more decoration on them in the same style as the walls.Close up view of a plate of food on a section of rustic wooden table in an outdoor setting. There is artificial garland of artificial greenery laid along the middle of the long table, and another place setting opposite has a slide of wooden log as a placement. The plate has barbecued lamb chops, roast potatoes, lots of salad, sweetcorn and some home grown roasted heritage carrots in shades of orange, yellow and purple.A wider view of the dinner table in the woodland, with a metal firepit in the foreground. A few people are sitting at the long table chatting, under a sailcloth canopy. It is getting dark and the area is lit with a string of lights. Sheepskins have bee laid out on the benches and a couple of the women have blankets round their shoulders. Lots of plants in hanging baskets decorate the clearing, and the trees of the woodland can be seen in the background.
