Big Haunted Hospital news coming soon! ⚔
We're excited to be heading to Fringe, but it's not everyone's vibe 🎭
Lucky for everyone in Glasgow, we might have just the solution 🎲
Today is the anniversary of my HIV diagnosis.
I was 30 and had lost many friends to AIDS.
The doctor told me that with treatment I could expect to live another twenty years.
That was 26 years ago.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.
shout out to the artists who's "art studio" is just their ugly ass cluttered bedrooms. those aesthetic art studios in instagram with hundreds of perfectly organized copic markers are not real they can't hurt you
Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.
I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.
May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.
Love Si x
The racism behind chatGPT that we aren't talking about...
This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵
A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

If AI can’t provide free housing, free healthcare and free basic necessities but just make it harder for us to earn enough to pay for any of those things that are getting more and more expensive then WHAT value does it bring to the table? Except for feeding into corporate greed
I remember visiting a school at Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza. The children were excitable, artistic and full of hope.
That school has now been completely destroyed.
How many more children must die before our government calls for a ceasefire?
