Not going to lie, this would totally change my life. Not specifically because it would give me ‘more money’, but it would regularise my income in a way that’d mean I could work in a more organised and sensible way on a broader range of projects.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

New video's live and it's the last politics video until Starmer resigns. So give it about 10 days, but I saw some people using "student politics" again and couldn't resist putting my hand on the hot stove so you get this. youtu.be/mPlY4ZTPDvQ

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

Hey All, new video on 'Howling At The Moon' by Jakub Rozalski is up.

Werewolves, Dieselpunk & Polish Patriotism abound as we examine the worldbuilding of one of the world's foremost concept artists, responsible for the art of boardgame Scythe, and video game 'Iron Harvest'.

Here is another piece from our radio play group, also written by me. Quite autobiographical, this one, so I hope you can listen to it.

Political violence is bad but me and my mates need to set fire to this hotel because it contains people I don’t know personally but don’t like the idea of. Political violence is bad but I support the right of a country to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians because I’ve deemed them terrorists
