I’ve only got 10 copies, come grab one!
I was supposed to be debuting @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year and then life happened. Thanks to the kindness of @theahmedraafat.bsky.social Anna Readman @chrisbaldie.bsky.social and @tomhumberstone.com How to Survive an Affair will still be available there this weekend. Have fun everyone!

I've heard chatter on the @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social forums saying that they are calling this collection of 6 tables in the 2000AD hall "flavour town".
And while I might not agree with the naming, I can't disagree with the vibes.
I've also heard my new Space Captain book will be available.

Listen we all make mistakes and you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it.
Unless you print your own name wrong in the very first page of your newly printed comic.
Then you should be roundly condemned by your loved ones and cast out into the rain.

If, like me, you are stuck in the hellscape that is Adobe and they've just sent you an email saying your plan is increasing, check to see what plan you are on...
I never subscribed to the "pro" plan which just has a bunch of shitty AI options built in. If I swap to "standard" I'll save nearly £200.

I received one of those really annoying AI generated emails praising my books and how they want to "help" get it out to a wider audience.
Except it wasn't even my book. Was so confused.
But after a little search it turns out there's an author out there called Christopher Baldi.

Interesting to see pundits discuss Labour’s struggle to manage the working class and liberal graduates without realising that since uni fees, aka Graduate Tax, and the 2008 recession, these aren’t mutually exclusive.
We have a uni-educated working class. Middle class hacks just haven’t realised it.

I had a long rant about Apple Music's truly atrocious desktop UI/UX.
But instead, let's talk Bandcamp recommendations as it's Bandcamp Friday and more of your money can go directly to the artists.

I've been practicing how to hand cut dovetail joints recently, so I set myself the project of making a little dispenser for rolls of poop bags.
It was entirely stupid, flawed, janky at some angles... but I'm very proud.
Held on the wall by a little French cleat if anyone is interested.

My beloved Wacom MobileStudio 2017, is being forced into retirement by windows. Plus it’s slowly grinding to a halt.
What’s the best pen displays these days? I don’t need the computer element of this type anymore, just something to plug into a Mac.
Any good trustworthy reviews online?

Thanks to everyone who backed the book and reposted all my boring posts!
No one enjoys a kickstarter spam fest, least of all those who have to actively make them.
So I appreciate every one of you that repeatedly helped me along the way.
Do I want an even 200, sure. will I get it, who knows!
