The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

🍿 it’s on

me in 2005: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because it's a movie about a dinosaur theme park me in 2025: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because the rich CEO of the dinosaur park is not immediately handed complete control of the US National Park Service

Listening to Like A Prayer remixes on repeat kinda of mood

Back again, this time for the blue film programme

Hyped for the Banff Mountain Film Festival tour!

A guy singing in the gym whilst he’s working out, it’s oddly unsettling 😵‍💫

There’s this cute little train that takes us up and down to the slopes each day. I pretty much got to sit in the driving sit on the way back down this evening

I really like the Slopes app, great UI, nice competitive function with friends. My only gripe is if your watch dies before you finish the day it can end up losing the runs you continue on your phone only.

The lady in Tesco who was complaining very grumpily about the self service tills is clearly off to a good start for the week 😂

Nodding to sleep on the sofa after an incredibly full on, thought provoking weekend full of lots of passionate discussions on the future of Scouts in the UK as we look to develop our next strategy. Thank you to everyone who got involved this weekend!

Kicking off the Sunday of Scouts Summit25 with an amazing youth panel

Inspiring keynote by @markrusselluk.bsky.social at Summit25, reminding us that young people deserve the best opportunities in life; and that Scouting has the power to change their trajectories, 1 degree at a time

The Scouts Summit25 conference has begun - a wonderful weekend ahead with almost 700 members from across UK Scouting looking up and looking out at the future and shaping our next strategic plan

I promise my posts aren’t just going to be me topless all the time, I’m just currently REALLY happy with my body progress, slowly honing in on my goals 🏅

A solid upper body session to get my head in the game for the conference today - and a nice chest and tricep pump too!

Feeling the upper body pump post gym 💪

I have a lot of autistic friends. none of them have ever done anything even close to a Sieg Heil.

Had a much needed fun evening at Slap & Giggle open mic night, so many different acts and forms of comedy

What climate emergency? We appear to very quickly be taking backwards steps. apple.news/Aj5iVS_CHQ0W...

Between the CCP and the Republican party I sort of just give the fuck up on climate change. The rest of our lives are going to be defined by natural disasters of unimaginable scale all because the leaders, aware of the consequences, opted to do nothing. LA burnt down, still they stoke the flames.

The nervous adrenaline pump I’m experiencing right now is another level

Saw through into the entrance way of the new @sohotheatre.bsky.social Walthamstow, and it looks beautiful!

Time for a cold run

I love going to the gym early, but why do people who use the gym during the middle of the night so LAZY

Waking up with a ringing headache is not the one 🥴

Felt down on power in the gym today, not happy with the session…still hit some PBs

Doomscrolling yesterday and I came across this which made me pause and think about the environmental impact of AI. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it does give food for thought.

Steadily getting back into leg day

I'm really into reading, watching, and listening to stories about adventures at the moment. Today's consumption has been Sean Conway and his 496 challenge. I'm tempted to try this later this year! #ukrunchat youtu.be/2nkSA9XkLw8?...

Guy in the gym literally watched me put weights on my machine, and as I went to get more he took them for himself 🤯

Why Pigeons Make Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics

Our ceramic pig candle holder suffered a fall and a few broken bones, @yourolly.com conducted surgery yesterday with superglue. Being a big kid I applied bandages this morning to help the injuries mend. It's taken @yourolly.com all morning to spot what I've done

Love & hate that cold cheek/lung feeling when you run in the winter

I’ve found @yourolly.com idea of a perfect adventure - visiting every National Trust Property and eating a scone like Sarah Merker. Also opening lines leaving a cliffhanger on a 3rd way to jam/cream a scone… Interesting listen 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/g...

Meta taking us back to the 1950s with their new content rules, my ISP seemingly deciding a trip back to the 90s is in order this morning

I would absolutely love to sort more trips by sleeper train but it is so expensive now it’s just no longer worth it

Anyone else treadmill dance? In a desperate attempt to get my steps in during this dismal weather I’ve been using the treadmill at the gym a lot, often listening to EDM. Today I realised, by catching myself in the mirror, that I actually end up dancing away whilst walking away 🕺😅

Mark Zuckerberg: “I’m a homophobe and transphobe”

So META’s new rules - it’s perfectly acceptable to call me mentally ill because I’m gay…like what are back in the 50s?!?

Discovered Tom Bryan’s Great British Adventures podcast over the last week - really great long form chats with amazingly inspirational & passionate people. Well worth a listen 🎧 👇 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/g...

Currently using my unemployment to understand more about non-formal education, and how we as a society need to fundamentally change our approach to education. Just watched a thought provoking video from Sir Ken Robinson on this subject (from 2010!) 👇 www.ted.com/talks/sir_ke... #education

Happy Humpday to all those who celebrate 🍾
