Repost with your Friday energy. Repost with your mental state. Pick a single image from your gallery that represents your Bluesky posting style.

It’s this. It’s always this. My energy going into 2025 will be this.

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.

Oh wow. Strong memory of learning marker rendering, 1st year BSc industrial design, Brunel University, 1989. I feel a bit queasy.

There’s an account called Louvre of Bluesky. You are a follower of it.

I have an app running that’s supposed to block Bluesky, but it’s only half working, so I can’t see images but I can read the alt text. Looking forward to “Polaroid selfie of head in profile next to a rubber lobster.”

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

They’re part way there with a sort of non-stop outdoor karaoke (attracts the hens) and, further along the street, a bloke with a keyboard and a loud sound system who plays all kinds of samples and beats for the stags.
