MANEATER advance proofs are here… and they’re GORGEOUS! So naturally I had to do something unhinged with them.

One of my guilty pleasures is r/AITA, but I’m always reminded it’s Reddit when they collectively decide things like ‘eating dinner together as a family is toxic and controlling’. Like wtf fam? Because I don’t let my kids forage and eat in their rooms at all hours I’m the Worst Mum In The World?

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)
Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.
"The AI industry’s most important product at this moment is not a chatbot or a video generator; it’s the story the AI industry is telling about itself.... According to an MIT study, 95% of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...

One thing we as gamers don’t talk about is how Musk made it hard to say you like XCom games. Like, Terror From The Deep is a stone cold classic! But now everyone thinks you’re talking about that knob and his nazi bar, when all you really want to talk about is tentaculats.

One of my favouritest humans in the entire world was taken into hospital yesterday, and until I get the ‘you can come and visit me’ nod, I’m going to draw her get well soon pictures of her favourite characters to stop me worrying, starting with Harley Quinn.

As a foul-mouthed old witch, I was beginning to wonder - and if you’re also as foul-mouthed as me, wonder no more! Because swearing is big and clever, make sure you check this - mine was automatically set to ‘hide’ (RUDE, ironically).
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Doodlin’ time… been a while since I cracked out my markers, and I’m always reminded why I love them so much every time I go back to them. Lara Croft portrait, because i haven’t drawn her in a while either (stop it), and I miss her. #art #tombraider #artsky

Eldest daughter has just informed me that everyone at college loves ‘her style’ as she wafts out the door wearing my black crocheted jumper, my 00s flame New Rock boots (‘they’re vintage!’) and my old army green trenchcoat.

I’m the most fashionable teenager in town, allegedly 🙃

#FuckingRichPeople

If you still think, that "rich people are not the problem, they are hard working, clever people, deserving the money they made.... blah blah blah", then here is something for you.

Rich people are one of the most polluting things in the world.

"14.5 million people..... live in poverty and just under 3 million.... can’t afford to heat their homes

Billionaire wealth grew by £35m each day in 2024 and Britain’s 50 richest families now hold more wealth than half the population"

Guess who will bear the brunt of tax rises

We see something similar in the UK.

Most benefits go to people IN WORK.

Because there are not enough properly paid jobs.

Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.

Welfare was not meant to support employers.

This is wrong
The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Total wealth of billionaires in 1990 = £59 BILLION

Total wealth of billionaires in 2025 = £795 BILLION

Number of food banks in 1990 = 0

Number of food banks in 2025 = 2400

Tax the rich.
