This year my charity sketch sale is exclusive to BlueSky. I’ve got a smaller following here than on other social media channels, so I hope this works out! More details in the alt text.
I’ll be posting the first sketch this evening at 9pm (GMT). See you there?

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.
I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Just got back from a con that was a massive money pit resulting in a huge loss. AND I’ve got a car issue that’s needs fixing immediately. Annoyingly, I need my car for work 🙃

What's wonderful about Outer Wilds (2019) is that @mobiusdigitalgames.com based the game design not on combat or trading, but on curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge.
