I think if you play music out loud on your phone, on a train or a bus or similar, it should be legal for me throw your phone out the window

Chaosium@chaosium.bsky.social · 5d ago"A roleplaying session in a pub back room is a good night. A roleplaying session in the Great Hall of Stirling Castle, with a Keeper of Arcane Lore and an audience, is a different proposition entirely, and that is what is happening on Sat 17 Oct." Yep—and if you can't make it, we're recording it!
How many of the cast are Scottish? At STIRLING CASTLE?! The site of the crowning of Mary, Queen of Scots, the site of many very important historical moments for Scotland. Irony of that is not lost on me.

Heading back to Glasgow after 2 weeks of working and then a larp, with no time to stop, breathe & think. I hadn't been able to bring myself to book a train ticket I needed to. Today I did it. Next week, I leave. I'm moving to London and my entire world changes. I havent yet come to terms with it.
I'm currently sat in Orkney, with one final event for the science festival. I go home tomorrow for a night, and then off to Cambridge via London for the final LARP of the year. And then, in just over two weeks time, im moving to London to start working at ZSL London Zoo. A whirlwind few weeks.
Back in 2024, a single yellow balloon on the floor, suddenly became an important detail to our online audience. On 24th October, we return to @rigb.org for An Evening of Unnecessary Detail, and it's livestreamed again! What might Sam & the audience focus on this time? fotsn.com/tickets
The performers keep on coming! Michael Akadiri is multi-award winning comedian and resident (junior) doctor who has starred in Comedy Central LIVE, ITVs Stand Up Sketch & Channel 4s Stand Up to Cancer. He's joining us at Up the Creek next Monday, and there's still tickets! You coming?
Ive been very quiet recently. On Monday, I go to Orkney for 10 days, then straight to London for the last LARP of the year. My life is very up in the air right now, and I have no idea what the next couple of months is gonna look like. The current plan, move to London and be near my best friends.
I had a blast pulling off a VERY SERIOUS AND NOT AT ALL SILLY robbery with the lovely folks at RWD using @gshowitt.bsky.social's Honey Heist system. Big thanks to the whole team and my fellow guest @thewhimsyblerd.bsky.social for such a fun adventure! Ep1 (of 2): shows.acast.com/a-rendezvous...
We're the Crooks || RWD Honey Heist | R.W.D.
The Bear Mob are tasked with stealing ancient honey from the British Museum. Douglas free solos, Sunny gets a check up, Rocko gets a side gig and Zelly attends a mustelid family reunion.

Not my game, not my ball etc but Monica Lennon is an ally to our trans community, understands the scale of the climate emergency and supports the basic principle of Scotland's right to self determination. Of course she's being attacked by the nastiest of yesterday's men.
Im sure its no surprise im in love with this and excited for it to win more awards.

My baby sister graduated today with a first class degree that has been taken notice of by the Scottish government. I am so fucking proud of her, the pride is bursting out of my chest.

In the best mental space I've been in for quite some time. Who knew making changes to the expectations you put on yourself, can just alter everything. It also means, I'm barely on this app anymore. I hope you are all well.
There's just 3 weeks to go, and we have a question. Are you coming to the BIG Event? Join us in person or online for an incredible lineup of sessions, workshops and hands on interactives. 📆 15th - 17th July 📍 National STEM Learning Centre, York 🎟️ Tickets at www.big.uk.com/BIGEvent2026
Hey, hey. Today, could you tell someone — anyone — about a tiny thing you remember them doing that meant a lot to you? This isn’t about public displays of gratitude, really: send them a message, or call them, or if you’re lucky, tell them in person. Remind people of their best selves.
Well, well, turns out LARP has given me something ive been missing in my life. Hard to out into words what exactly happened, but I am going to be so sad that tomorrow im not going to a field to write poetry and drink wine. Fucking hell, Empire is good.
I implore you to listen to this episode and the rest of this incredible series.

Im on holiday this week. At the weekend I ran Clocktower in a haunted pub, yesterday I went to the zoo, and im going to the theatre tonight with some of my favourite people. 2026 has been rough on my brain, or to be precise, my brain has made it rough for me. I think im out the other end now.
Today, @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social open the public playtest for Children of Time. Want to see how it plays? We sat down with @elainelithgow.bsky.social to tackle a crisis scenario - fire on the Ark ship! Catch it tonight on twitch.tv/euphoriaap and join the playtest now! buff.ly/oGkMmta
