In retrospect, downing a seventh pint of liquid courage before challenging Lt. Bowley to a bout had been ill-advised.
Everyone knew that a seaman on skates was not to be trifled with.

I know, I know, I’m reblogging myself, how declassé. But this photo still makes my day, so as they say on the internets, haters to the left.
(Er. I suppose this might also be a good time to mention that I’m currently trial-Tumbling for Coventry’s Herbert Art Gallery & Museum over at herbertinterns, which is why this blog has been a little quiet. What can I say - I’d feel a little guilty for spamming the internet from two professional Tumblrs at once.)

About

Avatar Museo. Postgrad. MA on hold (as a PGDip) while I remember how to live with my eyes open.

Luckily, museums are just the thing.

YES: feminism, acceptance, and social justice in all its forms. participatory culture. social media. humanism. '90s action movies. rumi. geekery in all its forms.

NO: bigotry. shaming. willful blindness. elitism. tomatoes. especially tomatoes.
