The original JOG ON strips that were the basis of a long-lasting mural I drew in The Centre MK. It ended up lasting for far longer than imagined thanks to the pandemic.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

This prime day, why not make a zine from bits of paper around the house and bits of thought around the head

Yesterday I saw a new dentist in town called 'Ghost Dental'. Next door was a hairdresser called 'House of Hair'. I feel they should both be in a horror story. I don't think mixing ghosts and dentists is a good idea.

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."

It's vital people learn the truth about Reform and Farage's ties to the Putin regime. As polls stand we may be just a few years away from a Kremlin stooge in Number 10. Sounds like hyperbole, isn't.
