[#]TombTuesday —The Dwarvie Stane on Hoy isn’t a tomb, as no remains have been found, but it is very tomb like-a massive stone slab hollowed out into a tiny house or large coffin. The stone in front could plug the entrance. The acoustics inside are incredible. It it a place for song. #Neolithic #Orkney #SacredSpace #BetweenWorlds

Medusa, Museum of London, taken with a digital camera, years ago. Toying with the idea of just archiving older images here that feel relevant as well as snapshots from my current life. I hope the collections feature will be active/less buggy soon. #medusa #London #sculpture #AngryWomen #Monsters #RageAgainstTheDyingOfTheLight

It’s my book birthday! Ashes & Stones, my debut nonfiction book, is two years old today. Here I am holding it at the Waterstones in Aberdeen—the closest bookshop to where I was living at the time. The other picture is me beside the Aberdeen memorial to women accused of witchcraft in Aberdeen and to women activists in the shire—including women who opposed T#%*! annexation of land in the shire. Carrie Reichardt used ceramic tiles in a zine like format. Sadly this memorial is where the bins are kept and the mural is now vandalised. (This is actually a pattern—bins and vandalism—a theme I address in the book.) #Witches #WitchesOfMastodon #Scotland #Aberdeenshire #bookstodon
