Digital version of my latest commission. Is Drift print-worthy in 2025? (Well, 2026 when I next get to a convention). Or are all the kids into Shredhead these days?

NGL. Not pointing fingers at people, but I get a bit peeved at all the 'Divorced energy' jokes people throw around like frisbees these days.
Check your fire, please? Maybe a lot of your friends are divorced, and didn't end up there for being sexist shitheads, but just had to go separate ways.

Also, only tangentially related, my dad worked on this tunnel boring machine pictured, and one of those lads in the picture could easily be him. We grew up with framed diagrams of it on the wall, and the things (there were a bunch of them in his life) loom large in my imagination.

Dipped back to Twitter this morning to see what's happening there, and oh boy, oh boy.
It's a dah where all the 'Community' memes are coming out to play.

I learned this weekend that my favourite burrito place in Belfast (and the reason for at least 2 trips there) has opened a branch on Bold Street in Liverpool, and I might just be the happiest human being on the planet.

That the last moment was truly my last moment, until the life finally drained from me.
Time cursed me, but knowledge did not. That afternoon, I lived fully. Laughing, rolling in the grass.
But the emptiness of the future. Without me, dulled down into in a single sentence,
"I'm dead."

OK, so now that the convention is over, I finally feel OK to share this (big thanks to @nickroche.bsky.social) Prior to Josh Burcham signing on, I took a swing at colours on Nick's pinup.
It didn't make it into the final book, I'm still proud of how it turned out.

no movement on this, very worried how next month is gonna go without our snap funds. I don't want my kid to have to go without, I'll gladly do so in her place. But even half of this is better than nothing.
Reposting this as a kofi goal since that makes a bit more sense, but yeah. the gov isn’t releasing our food benefits next month so perhaps consider supporting a disabled artist and their family so we can eat In November ko-fi.com/ponycide/goa...

Pokemon fans, how are you finding ZXA? Love it, Hate it?
The digimon side of the fence is very much like 'Pokemon has fallen, I, Time Stranger am now leader of the decepticons!' and I need to break my filter bubble on it a bit.

Having dental work done for the first time in my life ever today.
Really nervous about it. Annoyed at myself for being nervous.
I never get white coat syndrome of any kind, so this is really weird for me.

Remarkable the spikes in opinion change and what they coincide with.

- Jan 2020 withdrawal agreement ratified, and conservative propaganda arm in full swing, trying to mark this as a historic victory.
