This month's 'Avocado Toast'.
No wealth tax, but those little treats and pleasures, things that we can just about still afford?
YEAH, TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.
Labour Govt. motherfuckers. Or at least, that was what we voted for...

My 'Six of the Best' mini-interview is up at @goonhammer.com, where I pick three of my favourite #WarHammer books, two other favourite books, and recommend one of my own.
We look at another weekly Black Library update, including upcoming releases and what's going on with Ashes of the Imperium.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.

And now, thanks to @gregpak.net. I'll have the 'dashboard of my car' song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
We used to sing it at re-enactment shows, years ago, while beering round the fire.
I don't care if it gets scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary,
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car...

Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman

If you haven't watched #GunsAkimbo, do go do the thing.
It's off-the-wall bonkers, fabulously violent, and Radcliffe knocks it out of the park. It's also every #CyberPunk Friday Night Firefight we ever did, and suitably batshit glorious.

You can make art.
The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.
Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.
Just make art.

Belatedly realising that I've been a #bookseller four years today.
Was a heck of a shock, at first, being back in the trenches, but despite (of possibly because of, or both) its madness, I do rather enjoy it.
On a later shift today, but come buy all the books!!

And my little Pixie is finally on her way home.
The lady at the Crematorium managed to get the kitty back out of the Post Office and returned to her safely, and will bring her back to me on Monday morning.
Lady has been incredibly kind and helpful, and I'm very, very glad that Pixie is now safe.
