Massive unexpected neighbourhoodwide power outage = booo!
Nothing else to do so going to bed early = ah well.
Not being able to read my book in the dark = 😕

I use the Epsom eco tank as well, and it's done pretty well for me so far (I've had it for about 2 years, I think). I mostly print black, but enjoy having the option for colour there. Has been pretty economical thus far.

Bluesky hates art, videos, and anything that isn't a screenshot of a Tweet of some new deranged Tr*mp stuff, but I am going to keep posting my art videos / mini-essays out of a curious mixture of love and pure spite #art
