A full colour illustration of a magpie in flight, its iridescent green and blue feathers shaded with pencil lines. It is carrying a stem of variegated ivy that curls underneath it as it flies. A monochrome comic page featuring a character being grabbed by several pairs of hands, holding him down and putting fingers in his mouth. One pair of hands holds up a pair of pliers. A painted waist-up sketch of jean vicquemare from Disco Elysium, a white man with dark hair, spiky facial hair and small round scars on his cheek and neck. He is standing in the rain with his head tilted to the sky, a look of relief and gratitude on his face. His shirt is clinging to his skin and has orange highlights on it. The rest of the colour scheme uses mostly deep blues and purples. A photograph of five different greeting cards spread out on a furry blanket. Each card has a different medieval style lino print design on them, in a different colour. On the prints are a green gargoyle, a red phoenix, a blue pegasus, a pink dragon and a golden unicorn.

A consultation happening now, under Labour, that frames settlement as some sort of reward for being the right kind of person instead of a fundamental human right. That's the party that folk keep telling us to vote for to "keep the far right out"
sarahpyke.bsky.social Sarah Pyke @sarahpyke.bsky.social · 4d
the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

A comic of a man sitting inside a bus, drawing, wearing headphones. Text reads "9am, on a bus. Heading into the west end to meet Jake."

Finally got around to completing an #hourlycomicsday! I've started plenty, but never managed to keep going. I did mine on Friday to give me a bit of time around work/family etc! Here's what I did on FRiday. It's mostly about a cheese scone.

Diary comics thread for hourly comics day ✏️ intro/9am
#hourlycomicday #MEcfs #ChronicIllness
graphic reads ‘hourly comics day disability diaries’ with a drawing of me (white nonbinary guy w black facial scruff & short green hair) lying in bed looking shattered. Lower text reads ‘hello. I make comics, and—‘ “This year’s my 10 year anniversary of chronic illness (ME/CFS)” - a small cartoon of me with a balloon going ‘wow!!’ then ‘…wait.’ In an inset past year’s comic, I’m going ‘hopefully later I’ll be well enough to draw a little!’ but end up lying still in bed all day - ‘alas’. “*8 years of my illness being “moderate to severe” = mostly bedbound, unable to walk down the street or prepare a meal without collapsing.” “I’ve been making a day of hourly comics every February since I first got ill” (some pics of many years worth of hourlies,w ith me waking up feeling exhausted, too ill to sit up) “It can be hard, but it means a lot to share the reality of my daily life honestly and to hear from others in the same boat. So here’s Hourly comics day 2026” - a small baloon now reads ‘still here!’ next to the same drawing as the first, me now waking up. 9am - “good morning my body feels like it’s been run over by a train’

Oops I got Silksong for xmas & just finished it!! It has been a fantastic game! I'm playing Act 3 now though & about to stop: I would just like to say that repeated "room full of guys" as a game design choice fucking sucks and I got very sick of it very fast

Everything else was great tho, good game

I have finished Hollow Knight and am happy with my decision to not get Silksong... I got thru HK with only a few angry crash out "THIS IS NO LONGER FUN" moments but if Silksong is way worse then....no thanks!! I like to have fun actually

Disco portraits innit

#discoelysium #harrydubois #kimkitsuragi #jeanvicquemare
Two circles on a white background. The left has a yellowy background and features a portrait of harry du Bois from disco Elysium. He's smiling crookedly with panicked sadness in his eyes. In the second circle with a blue background is another portrait of harry with his eyes closed and tears streaming down his face. Two circles with portraits of kim kitsuragi from disco Elysium. The left one is line green, kim is scowling and has one eyebrow raised. In the left one the background is a greyish pink and kim is smiling with his head slightly tilted. Two circles containing portraits of jean vicquemare from disco Elysium. On the left with a greyish purple background jean is scowling but kind of sadly. On the right with a teal green background he's smiling, but also looks like he wants to die

HELLO I'm so delighted to finally officially share A TRUE GENTLEMAN, the graphic novel I’ve been working on for the last few years & is very close to my heart.

Inspired by a lot of real queer & trans history and my own disability, with big marsh, big ships & BIG YEARNING #books
Publishers' marketplace screenshot about A True Gentleman, "a queer historical romance fllowing a trans teen grappling with masculinity, diability and empire after his dreams of proving himself at sea take a turn - and his sweetheart's secret plans to see him again. to Caitlin O'Connell at Penguin Workshop, for publication 2028, by Jessica Mileo - Rights to S&S UK by Louise Lamont at LBA books."

heads up that folks are asking to move hourly comic day to feb 8th since feb 1st is the first day of black history month in america. february is also lgbt history month here in the uk so that's a nice way to give both celebrations some social media breathing room!
