I forgot to post this but I got my cool stuff from @blacksmoke1033.bsky.social last week and if any of you have a deep desire for cool pins, fancy stickers and really, really nice lens cloths I recommend checking him out!

It is a picture of two lens cloths, one green and gold with an assortment of bugs and the other black and gold with a squid, two badges of the biggest chickens ever, one a button and one an enamel pin, a stag beetle pin that looks like a stag skull and an assortment of stickers, all by Blacksmoke1033

I can put one in your patreon package if you like! There’s a frog themed one coming in 1-2 weeks as well

I’m pretty sure all the collab cloths they make are for charity too, I’d be so up for that too 😅 maybe next time I’m in London I just go ask in their main store, they’re a really small company so idk

Until there is another shift in how media- art in particular- is platformed online, we have to work with what we have. Bluesky is messed up but that's not -our- fault. It's theirs. It took me 10 years to get to the follower count I have here back on Twitter, I'm not struggling through that again.

They have 2 button batteries in that compartment on the back plus a little on / off switch. My pin guy says they’re replaceable as well but I haven’t tried 😅

Yeah honestly it’s annoying as hell to display on my fatter material 🫠

There will also be a few with me at London MCM, for quite a bit cheaper than the online price - though it costs a bazillion pounds to be at MCM so I guess it is not cheaper.

I have really disliked eating the actual honeycomb part previously when I’ve bought it, but this one is very fun to eat, I wonder if that’s an age thing

The bees have 2 big boxes for themselves for winter so hopefully they don’t find us too horrifying

Anna (left) was SOOOO ready for it and still missed and bit my hand.

They have maybe 1, 2 frames of restraint in videos, they just start mashing the closed hands

Constantly producing eggs and honey and jams at these ‘no food allowed’ events

It’s not the best thing to mail but if I can I will 😆 it just forms a little ball of wax in your mouth to spit out

There’s around 30lbs of honey in this box and I know with it being food I’m not allowed to sell it, however if we’re ever in the same building there’s gonna be a 75% chance I will empty out my suit pockets and have a couple of teeny jars in there

And I’m in Nottingham too so I guess we in particular have been plagued with the bootleg STD riddled ladybugs
