Some people would rather believe that there’s a secret set of rules or magic trick that are the sole barrier to success rather than, you know, actually doing some fucking work
fell victim to one of the classic blunders (opening threads) and was immediately subjected to whatever the fuck this is

I suspect it’s not *quite* what was meant, but I did once draw myself and @mrsglempy.bsky.social as a blue llama and a beautiful little pink owl with a bow.

Never not relevant
The lessons of the past have not been learned, and the rich are walking into a tomb of their own making. Do not listen to their screams as the door is bricked up behind them.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Now that I’m back from Iceland, @mrsglempy.bsky.social has suggested that if anyone enquires as to whether I would recommend it as a destination I should channel Babylon 5’s N’Grath

On a semi-related note, the park and ride set up for Oxford is amazing. Cheap all day park, regular busses. It’s great!
“Cars are the easiest way to get in and out of town centres”

Really? Try driving in Oxford!

They will fight til their dying breath to keep everyone in cars at all times. They have no interest in innovations that might make places more pleasant to live, reduce pollution or reduce congestion.

@lovatt.com we’re at the Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland, and @mrsglempy.bsky.social saw some cups in the gift shop that she felt you and Josie needed to see

I can’t help but link this to Stan Bush’s “The Touch” as it appeared in the animated Transformers film of the same year. Peak 80s.
in 1986 a person came to my community college class to talk about the incipient computer age and used the slogan "high tech is high touch" to convey the notion of connectivity and network-to-network communication and I have kind of never gotten over it

My cancelable take on sorcerer twitter: magic and spells are all well and good, but sometimes nothing substitutes just punching someone in the face.
My cancelable take on sorcerer twitter: don't claim your mount is a familiar just so you can take it through a portal. It's not fair to those who actually need a familiar for spellcasting
My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that you shouldn't be able to call it a "Hex" if all you're actually doing is giving someone radiation poisoning.

I love The Dread Breath of Charax as much as the next necro-curious caster, but we can be honest and admit that it's just Radon and glitter.

I am wearing a "some people are trans, get over it" t-shirt, and a man in a cafe just gave me two slices of cheesecake when I only ordered one. I can only assume that, as well as being the morally correct choice, supporting trans people also gets you free cake.

This is just plain pornographic 🥵
This latest ref pack is a love letter to all my hard surface artist friends

It contains 400+ (3.1GB) photos from the CAF SoCal airplane museum, including 100+ shots of tiny details from the cockpit of a MiG-21MF

Use them for anything, just make sure to credit me!

For work reasons I get email bulletins from the UK health and safety executive, and while I *assume* this has got something to do with x-ray machines it is certainly a WILD sentence to parse.
