This Is My GlasgowSometimes Glasgow's architecture makes it feel like you're walking through a magnificent oil painting, and sometimes it's like being trapped in a drawing by M.C. Escher! This one definitely falls into the latter category. It's the rear fire escape of the Queen Margaret Union on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecturephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mcescher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mcescher</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/brutalistarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brutalistarchitecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/queenmargaretunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queenmargaretunion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/qmu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qmu</a>

DaneThis is my Sharkey <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> 🙃 You can call me Dane. I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life. I'm <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/ADHD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> and suffer from <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/dysthymia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dysthymia</a>. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning. Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉 I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age. I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName. And now, a hefty list of hashtags.... <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/music" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/thebeatles"

Art History AnimaliaHappy birthday to iconic Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher, born <a href="https://historians.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> 125 years ago (17 Jun 1898 – 27 Mar 1972). Animals forms inspired many of his works, especially fish, birds, & other reptiles. Here’s a favorite example of the latter, 1943's Reptiles. M. C.
