I’m mostly using Bluesky and Instagram as caughtjesterbrucedon. I mainly post photos and a few jokes on here. Interests are #fiction #music #travel #classiccars #humour #food #photography, especially #ghostsigns #windows and #doors. Alt text description of my Avi, it is a Jester puppet head wearing Visit Wakefield badges, which is a parody tourist account on Twitter. The header picture is the text on the green door of the Goethe institute in Dublin. “That was how it may have started”
I’m rarely, if ever, on here these days. I’m mainly on Bluesky instead. Thanks.
