Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.

Amplified monkeys. Acoustic monkeys. They’re great either way.
Plz amplify the monkeys
I’ve added these four richly textured drawings (they’re on the painterly end of drawing) to my website in the main gallery. Gotta keep trying, it is November. Please share if you please

Oh yeah...I'm an artist. I ought to post some of my work. Pardon the watermark - I'm leery of posting art because of AI scraping. Though, these images have already been stolen for training anyway so I suppose it doesn't really matter. Anyway - here's some art. #artist #artshare #supportlivingartists

I quit using twitter (12K followers) almost a year ago. My art sales have declined by +90%. It's been devastating.
I absolutely don't blame artists who still post there.
But if Bluesky wants to build communities, it needs to support (ie: share posts and buy stuff) & encourage artists who are here.

I have 14500 followers on twitter and I post lots of positive gentle stuff there I would dearly like to have that many here on Bsky but it might take years. As an artist who sells my work directly via the web I keep using twitter rather than starving but my goodness I wish I didn’t need to

Google accused users of deliberately testing the software
@NBCNews: Social media has been buzzing with examples of Google’s new, “experimental” AI tool going awry.
A Google spokesperson said the company believes users are deliberately attempting to trip up the technology with uncommon questions. https://t.co/Wj9iuKzzHk
