I feel this could be a therapeutic task in relation to the local clothes moth population
Today I’ve started working on a crucifix of local moths, very fiddly and time consuming but satisfying

KCL repeatedly advertising "theology and the arts" positions when what they always mean is "theology and painting" is really getting annoying now

I mean, I'm partly there because I want to be paid, but on my current 50% contract I earn about €32,000 a year which isn't really an amount I'm particularly happy with

I didn't think Anglican twitter was still a thing, but the Canterbury graffiti seems to show otherwise

Turns out there's a reason we traditionally communicate using paper instead of writing on glass windows
