Ah, cool. Tbh their whole process hasn’t exactly been transparent! But if you’re all good to go that’s fab. Thanks for your support, we appreciate it!

Yes that should be the case. Although some order seem to have slipped through the net, which we don’t understand. Have you left a comment on BackerKit? Sorry, it’s just hard to keep track of messages on social media.

Hi, could you put this in a comment under the latest Kickstarter update please? That’s how we’re keeping track of missing surveys. Thanks 👍

Much excitement in the McQue household today as my wife has one of her projects featured on the cover of the latest Gardens Illustrated magazine 😮

I thought I would do a thread to reply to the below pal because there is a lot to consider about being autistic and feeling comfortable with people. It’s something I have thought a lot about recently 💘🧵

Tell me more. I'm curious what it's like. Do you mean like you feel like you can't be weird around people?

(Weird isn't being used negatively here)

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Probably Wednesday next week. Depends on whether we have the majorities of surveys completed. It’s at 70% at the moment

And one of the industries which, relying entirely on freelance workers, but requiring public audience spaces, was fucked over completely by the pandemic, without mercy or assistance, but survived, on its knees so it can now get another kick in the teeth from these soulless twats.

Corey Brotherson - ready for my close up--NOOO TOO CLOSE! @coreybrotherson.bsky.social · 2d

Hey kids!

Remember when the pandemic struck and eventually the (Tory) government told everyone to stay at home, and the arts and entertainment industries were one of the few things keeping everyone from pulling our own eyes out of our skulls from abject fear and boredom?

Remember that?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

This. So much fucking THIS

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 2d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 2d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?
