Got a sore hand from today’s signing🤣

Thanks to Pickled Pepper Books for having me and to all of you who ordered! Due to the brilliantly MASSIVE demand from you all I’m doing another signing next week so you can still order and receive a personalised signed copy to give as a gift before Christmas!

1/2 Section 28 all over again.

Girl Guiding UK and the WI have banned trans girls and women from joining their organisations.

As a cis person, I cannot begin to understand how this feels for trans people in the UK.

But I can listen.

And I can use my skills to try to help.

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 2. BBC1's Christmas pudding globe of 1977. The last year of Eric & Ernie & (for a bit), Bruce on the Beeb. They went to ITV in 1978. JICTAR's ratings, now considered definitive, has Mike Yarwood beating M & W on Christmas Day...just! 21.40m to 21.30m.

It's only five days until THE QUATERMASS EVENT at QUAD. If you haven't got your ticket yet, please pop by the QUAD's website and book now. Even if you're familiar with the films, this is a rare chance to see all three on the big screen on the computer company of fellow appreciators of classic telly.

The 1st of December.

This is about as festive as I get. The ghost stories don’t end in October for me, they creep all the way up to the new year.

An unpublished illustration I made for The Signal Man by Charles Dickens a couple of years ago.

This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

There are people on here who get a lot of praise for their funny alt text and I hate it because nothing in the alt describes the photo. They just think they're being funny and clever when they're actually just excluding people.
Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.

The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.
