On at the Beecroft in #Southend until the end of May. https://www.southendmuseums.co.uk/exhibitions/Jennie-Sharman-Cox-and-Simon-Monk---Double-Take #art

1) create an account by sending a message to @admin with the word "help", and clicking on the link you get back
2) specify the URL to a feed, and a username for the feed
