Doing an intro thing. I’m someone who writes things but feels weird calling himself a writer. Being Irish and notions. I write for Journey Planet, GCN and write comics. 🏳️‍🌈 + 🏳️‍⚧️ rights

If I wasn’t already voting for Catherine Connolly, the fact that FG seem to be trying to rake up fake dirt would have convinced me. How are the Irish classes going former Gaeltacht minister?

Hey! Had a couple things end up not starting this month, which is kind of not optimal for me, a person who needs to pay bills. So! If you need commissions, short comics, full comics, covers, prints, concert posters, album art, and you like what I do, maybe hire me!

Episode 7 of Starship Alexandria goes live tomorrow. We discuss The Ministry of The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. The end blooper is one of my favourites, mostly because making @aptshadow.bsky.social dissolve into giggles with the opening line of the show made me so happy! starshipalexandria.com

Eggless egg custard tart what could go wrong

MOIRA ROSE-VALANTINE
posted: 4 months ago
hi x this didn't work me me and my husband are non gmo gluten free vegans and cannot use egg so I substituted this for massed banana and it just would not set I followed all of the instructions so I think it may be my oven unfortunately that cannot maintain temp and in the end it was really runny and tasted quite bitter so not sure what happened but I won't be trying this again im sorry what a waste.

Hi Moira, an extreme substitution like using mashed banana in place of egg for an egg custard tart is not always going to work. I'm sorry that it felt like a waste of time, but sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know?

From all the quotes about Pillion, I’m not sure they adapted the right book. Or they’ve radically changed it.

I once told my dad how I missed a bus halfway across the country and he told me I should have phoned him. I suspect he’d say the same thing if I were snowed in on Mt. Everest. Irish dads.
