Mari Lwyd, the caroling skeleton horse from Welsh folklore, and a wolpertinger, the maybe folklore maybe cryptid from Germany. Painted as a holiday set to bring with me to Spectrum Art Market last month.

The original paintings are TINY and I love them

happy #AceWeek everyone!

ace people are everywhere! and we come in many different flavours

some of us go by grey-ace, or demisexual, or many other a-spec sexualities that fall under the asexual umbrella

being asexual is a lack of sexual attraction, whether it's always or sometimes

Thinking about the AI mess, I really do think we should try harder to drill it in everyone's heads that art is not an innate talent but a skill that most people can develop. Like, you don't have to be resentful of artists, just learn how to make art your own way

Had to say goodbye to a great cream liqueur after it has officially been discontinued (with a few last stocks in some shops, as I speak).

Nos da (Welsh for good night), Merlyn Welsh liqueur, and thanks for the sweet, malty moments. 💔

I’m still feeling helpless today, but somehow I’ve woken up remembering why I do what I do. I write and create because my greatest desire is to share with the world the joy and wonder I feel every time I read a fantasy novel or play a great game. I also want to prove there’s a place for everyone.

Twas at a garden centre this morning, on way back from York, and had breakfast there. And they started playing Santa Baby (a duet version), on October. The early days of October.

Help. 🫠

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Chris and Dianne's dance to You'll Never Walk Alone is arguably one of Strictly's beloved memorable dance. Count on it! It's beautiful as the song is itself. 🤧

Glad someone took the stage about this unsettling "A.I lovers" hoo-hah. I somehow found my ficto-side (mainly on platonic/squishes) and wanted to feel less insecure, especially when it's imaginary friends.
Having fictional partners isn't the same thing as AI lovers.
Fiction partners = perfectly fine, I have my own fictional husband too
AI lovers? Hell no, that's skipping twenty steps straight into unhealthy parasocial relationship

(in the fictosexual circle we make fun of ppl with AI lovers)
