Reform voters seem entirely content to agree that Trump's presidency is a shambles, but don't seem to be worried that Nigel Farage is Trump's closest friend in the UK.

Reform voters crowing about how Keir Starmer will handle the fallout from Peter Mandelson yet seem entirely unaware that Nigel Farage's name comes up 37 times.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language

A number of people requested that I turn my Star Projector photoshoot into a painting so here it is!
It's still very wintery here in Sweden, so there has been lots of inspiration for snowy wonders.

I wasn't going to paint more of my 2019 Defy Mask series but current events convinced me otherwise. This one is inspired by the Portland protest frog.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I love being terrible at chess. I love having no idea how to do a proper checkmate. I love sacrificing all of my pawns fewer than ten moves in. People devote their entire lives to it and I’m just like “wheeeeee horsies”
