Kitty: “The first day I met her, she said: ‘I’m a radical feminist lesbian farmer’. I thought: What would Jill Archer do?” #TheArchers #AmbridgeAntiques #VictoriaWood

RIP #PatriciaRoutledge

Patricia Routledge as Kitty, from 'Victoria Wood As Seen on TV' (1985-1987). The actual line is: “The first day I met her, she said: ‘I’m a radical feminist lesbian’. I thought: What would the Queen Mum do?”

Happy International Lesbian Day

I am being a bit greedy this year and going on a date with three international lesbians this week. But remember, if you cannot find free range international lesbians, store bought is fine.

I have stickered my stickers all over my old laptop!

Mainly stickers from @fenrisgames.com and #Nerdling with a couple from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social a few random ones and the REBEL stickers I designed.

The black plastic lid of a laptop covered in stickers sourced from various hobby-related people on BlueSky with a clear anti-fascist, pro-queer vibe.

Star Trek Corrupted Captions @startrekcc.bsky.social · 5h

Made this last year, but I wasn't on Bluesky last year so as far as you know this is new!
#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9

Top panel: Dr. Bashir is standing in Sisko's office speaking. "I'm worried about Jake. He's been increasingly agitated lately, talking to himself, and I just found this PADD he's been writing his novel on."

Middle panel: We see a close-up of the PADD in Sisko's hands. The sentence "All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy" is repeated the entire way down the screen.

Bottom panel: Sisko looks up from the PADD. "Sisko to security! I want a team to room 237 of the Habitat Ring immediately."

Kratos Battle Tank

One of my absolute favourite models for The Horus Heresy. I adored painting this up, blocking in the red and grey and getting it ready for the battlefield.

This kit is tremendous fun, and it certainly won’t be my last time painting it up!
