An entirely separate class of problem. Reside in Scotland, live in my head. I write and craft and talk random shite. Mainly the last one. Queer, pretty left wing, fuck terfs/swerfs/bigots. They/she 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸

Dating tip: don't kiss my hand but instead offer me dismal hills of mud. Because dire mounds are a girl's best friend.

Probably a year or so since I did. I should do another Discworld reread through

Yes! The Maggi ads, didn't it inspire the ads bit in Moving Pictures?

I didn't realise how bad it would be

In case you think I'm exaggerating:
UK vs German

The UK cover of Terry Pratchett's book Snuff. It is beautifully illustrated by Paul Kidby and shows the character Sam Vimes at the steering wheel of a river boat. There is a storm and a wall of water coming down the river behind the boat. Vimes is lit by an oil lamp and smoking a cigar, he looks tense. There are broken tree branches being thrown about by the water and a flock of panicking chickens flapping about.

The German cover of Terry Pratchett's book Snuff. It is illustrated by an early computer generated program, very likely one possessed by a demon. A demon who cannot draw. There is a character presumably meant to be Sam Vimes at a ship's wheel. The computer generation looks like the it's from the mid to late 1990s. The hands are appalling. The character looks constipated.

Holy shit. I've just seen the German cover of a Terry Pratchett and...

Germany, I thought your war crimes ended with World War II?

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

My drawing skills are shite, so I can't do Snoopy at the Battle of Cable Street biting the arse out of a blackshirt but know the image exists in my heart.

Happy 75th birthday Snoopy!

It is the anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street today. A timely reminder that if we collectively tell fascists to fuck off we can win.

Honestly makes me sad that nobody under 30 really knows how great search engine results used to be either.

Not necessarily because they were more accurate (tho yes, that too), but because once you got past page 3 you were in wild exciting badlands that could throw anything up.

Actually completely agree with this. Also, the only social platform kids should be allowed on is one you need to learn at least basic html in order to use fully.

Me after I've toddled up to the bus in the queue for the lights: oh thanks, I wasn't sure whether that stop (half obscured by roadworks) was open or not

Bus driver: technically aye but no

Saw someone mistype Silent Hill as Silent Hilf and this immediately popped into my head
