We’ve been using the fab Wellcome Library archive in our exploration of inclusive #menopause at #Breightmet in my Arts Council England ‘Whose menopause?’ project.

Brilliant blog on the realities of photography projects and informed consent, by the wonderful @ciaraleeming.

I've saved up enough RadMac weekend episodes that I can now enjoy my afternoons BBC Radio 6 Music this week.

Well bloody said.

Big thanks to Women On Tap® CIC for interviewing me about my Brewsters social portrait and documentary series. Features some of my work with the beer school, Neptune Brewery and Hop Hideout ®. Proud to be supporting #WOTFEST.🍻

A group of 'protesters' outside the venue today shouting peodophile at every drag artist and dancer that entered the building. In what world is calling someone that, based on their gender, sexuality or profession, not a hate crime?

Really good to see. Are members of the trans community feeding into this work @RSMuseumStudies?

#bewilderedandappalled? We were. We are. #notmovingon Good riddance indeed. #BorisJohnson #BorisJohnsonOut #PartyGate #bewildered #appalled

If you can’t remember which week it was, it was this one. #NotMovingOn #PartyGate #ShaunBailey

I've found the best way to deal with my #Partygate anger (apart from never voting Tory) is to focus on the fact that I did the right thing by staying away from my dying step dad. I didn't risk having a final Xmas together. I was the bigger person. I was better than them.

Phenomenal. Christine and the Queens #glastonbury2023

Epic #Glastonbury coverage by BBC this weekend, working with no doubt hundreds of creative industries #freelancers (many of whom are still getting back on their feet after getting sod all gov support during Covid). Great job anyone working behind the scenes - thank you ❤️🎪

If you happen to be heading to the Norfolk Show this weekend, make sure you check out my friend’s excellent vegetarian and vegan food offerings! I can confirm they are 💯delicious. #norfolk #norfolkshow

I’ve been in Bristol today to see two of my photographs which were selected for the The Royal Photographic Society summer exhibition. I’m really pleased that socially engaged and social documentary projects were represented through these projects, both created in #westhoughton. On until 28 Aug.

I wonder if there are any more murals, pictures of Micky Mouse and the like that will be painted over this week in refugee centres. If there are any children's books in these places, perhaps they can be burnt.

Thanks to RHS Bridgewater for inviting me in to run two mindful photography workshops today. It’s so rewarding showing how both camera and cameraless photography can help you slow down, take notice, and take your mind off other things. Thanks to everyone who came along! #rhs

My portrait and social documentary series about the Westhoughton Tower Bellringers will be going on display later this year at Bolton Museum & Art Gallery. You’ll be able to see ‘Why We Ring’ from Saturday 18 Nov ‘23 to Sunday 14 Jan ‘24.
