I'm not doing Black Friday discounts this year.
It’s just me in my Manchester studio. I can't compete with big brands slashing prices.
Every purchase keeps my tiny business going.

Indie makers, artists, illustrators, give us a heads up about what you do. I don't have a great reach or anything, but would love to see your work - in the spirit of an antidote to the empty capitalist churn of black Friday if you will 👍

Something needs to happen in Pluribus, huh? I get that it's a character study, but give me Body Snatchers - either Don Siegel's or Philip Kaufman's Invasion of - every time.

Miss Havisham told GB News that as a result of Rachel Reeves’ mansion tax, she would be forced out of her childhood home.
“I had no great expectations of this budget but the Chancellor is more Scrooge than Christmas Carol.”

Liverpool cinemas don't seem to be showing Lucile Hadžihalilović's latest, The Ice Tower. I loved her previous two - Evolution (2015) and Earwig (2021) - so that is, to say the least, disappointing. In addition, it's a retelling of a wintry tale; perfect, you'd think, for the time of year? ❄️

Unthinkable mere weeks ago, that's all she wrote for the Slot machine. He seems as baffled as anyone about what's happening.
