Activities we now call 'craft' put our brains into a state called 'flow'. Ever lost track of time while making something? That's flow. When in this state the levels of at least 3 neurotransmitters change, alleviating anxiety & lifting mood - the equivalent of taking mental health

Congratulations, @madeline_cct - I am so delighted for you! I can't wait to get a copy in my grubby little hands :)
It’s officially publication day!! I can’t quite believe it. After years of thinking, writing, planning, & editing: it’s here. I’m so grateful to my agent @mfredturner & everyone at @TheBodleyHead for the incredible work. If you’re in Scotland, come to the launch tomorrow 🥂

Last night, Nature herself put on an amazing display. Fox cubs yipped in the darkness - I'd like to think they were as excited as I was by the colours in the sky. #Auroraborealis #NorthernLights

So, this seems to be a pattern - Saturday Stitchery. Last week I was working on my owl mask; this week, I'm embroidering and beading leaves and conker cases for a very special Folk Horror headdress. #Horror #FolkHorror #Costuming #Storytelling #Folklore

Can't wait to read this book - coming out in May. Hidden histories, revealed. #Writing #AcademicChatter #Romany
Today marks the anniversary of the abolition of Roma slavery on territories of present-day Romania. It’s an overlooked aspect of history. I consider this in my book, The Roma: A Travelling History, which I’m very glad to say will be out in May. https://t.co/TkrBkJXoWr

my favorite people are the ones who are drunk on learning, who check more books from the library than they have time to read, who stay up all night on wiki rabbit trails, who need to know everything about stardust or the sea or Icelandic sagas and just. never. stop.
