When Royal Mail was sold off we were told that this was to protect letter deliveries.

Ofcom is now consulting on cutting letter deliveries from 6 to 3 days a week.

When will they admit privatisation has failed?

Take 1-min to send Ofcom this message: weownit.org.uk/act-now/usin...

“Negligent” and “incompetent” Royal Mail bosses want to cut some postal services by HALF - make your voice heard | We Own It

Royal Mail wants to cut second-class letter deliveries from 6 days a week to 3, despite paying out at least £230 million in dividends every year for the last decade.

Help me please! A little while ago I saw a thread of examples of characters drawn multiple times across the same spread/scene and I can't find it but would very much like those references rn!

I love my job. Today I've drawn a sauna being used by leeches. Everyday is a treat

I've started a Substack newsletter that will be infrequent but much more considered than my socials because I've tuned 30 and decided I hate my phone. Read all about it!

I didn't start streaming until my early 20's and I was SO fine before. Go back to go forwards I think?

Ollie Silvester @olliesilvester.bsky.social · Dec 12

I'm once again considering leaving music streaming and retuning to a physical and digital collection only. I dusted off my old iPod this year and I love using it again. it feels as if there is no model of ethical streaming and I think I'm done.

⏰ There are JUST 7 days left to stop Ofwat hiking YOUR bills to protect England’s privatised water firms.

They’ve already extracted £92 BILLION.

Bills could rise by up to 80% — you shouldn’t pay AGAIN to bail them out.

Sign the petition to stop the hikes... 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/stop...

Is there a cataloging website/app like Discogs but for books? Not Goodreads, that's for books read but for books owned in a way that notes their value too. I have a low-level constant fear my studio will burn down and I will lose my books and forget which ones I had (insurance proof too I guess)
