I've definitely overdone the stars here! 😂 So gonna tweak that a bit.

But this is supposed to be a fun drawing not a super-serious one. So I'm mostly gonna scan it and not be too fussy.

Just to update you all, not another donation push!

I am now only £40 away or around £65 I’m you include the fees go fund me take.

I’m a very happy lad this weekend, because of you all I know later this month I will have my mums things back with me.

Hey dolls!

Can you help me?🧵1/6

This is difficult for me to share.

In 2020 my mum died, one of the hardest decisions I made at the time was pawning some of the jewellery she left me.

Simply to help with costs of her funeral!

MPs feeling hard done by because of their huge salaries just because they spend all their time chatting to people with even bigger salaries isn't reason to pay them more, it's reason to inflict cruel medieval torturous deaths on any MPs who spend more time with millionaires than their constituents

I know the people who run this. It is a tiny organisation but has taken some massive stands. Was the first Pride in the UK to ban politicians and is always the first out with strong statements supporting trans people.

I know things are tight but please help support them if you can.

Penzance Library is on this list, and what that actually means is that every Cornwall Council run library has access to it, because they share books. So it's not 58 libraries.

Penzance shares with 15 other libraries, including my local one, Helston Library.

I'm not thrilled about this.

I like those gnarled, bioluminescent light switches that sometimes grow on the walls. You never know exactly what they're going to turn on or off. Flip the switch, and sometimes a sock will disappear. Sometimes a tunnel will materialize in the dryer. Sometimes the moon will open a gaping maw.

This by @deathbybadger.bsky.social is great and the best part is, okay, Pratchetty Footnote Humor aside the actual plot is super grim, but the VILLAIN is this amazing Varrick-esque "shows up in every episode with a different get-rich-quick scheme" elven con artist and she's fantastic and I love her.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Big stretch! Have a snack, take your meds.
-Take as many breaks from the internet as you possibly can.
-The Cursed Object is staring vexedly at the printer in my office, but won’t explain why. But I admit the printer does need to be glared at.

Life is about finding balance.
For every hour you spend chasing hikers from the forest with the dark grandeur of your shambling form, spend an equal amount of time using the dark grandeur of your shambling form to chase hikers from the forest.
It's that simple.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Why don't they say anything?

Well, because when it happens to YOU, if you say something, that's frequently the ballgame. You get driven out of your community; you get to see what the people you thought loved you look like with the masks off. And way, way too many of them are monsters.

We're all trying to get by, in our own way.
And if your way involves books, strong tea, and secret meetings with the old gods in the mossy end of the forest, so much the better.
