A History of Fans and Fandom
Do you have a Google alert for your favourite band going on tour? Or maybe you have a pull list at your local comicbook shop?…
www.pen-and-sword.co.uk
#Popculture is everywhere; you can’t move for a new superhero #film or major franchise appearing and we love it. You can't deny fan culture & #fandom are part of the world, but what does that mean & where did it come from? Good thing I wrote a #book about it!

Reform UK want a direct transfer of wealth from the poorest in society to the richest. Wage cuts for the poorest workers, tax cuts for the super rich.

The more I'm looking at the news with the Greens, it feels like we're going to see a battle between them and Reform at the next election. It's not the first time a new party has swung in from the left in the UK, and it's also not the first time the established parties have lost their position.

I have drawn art for multiple TTRPGs. I do it for a love of the game, because I feel like these games deserve illustration and I know how important it is for getting these games sold.
It also does not pay nearly well enough, and I can't blame my clients for it.

Over the last few years I've been watching Silent Witness from the very beginning, starting in the 90s, & it's been an education in how the world's changed for SURE. I decided that I would like to watch another crime classic, Prime Suspect, today & omg it's staggering how the men in this show behave

Currently listening the lovely human & actor Michael Pitthan read Poe stories live on twitch on his new "bedtime stories" series. There is something about someone reading live that is so wonderful, especially when 200 odd people are watching from all around the world. Wholesome use of the Internet.
