So afraid now. If the world can be run by bullies, there's fuck all hope for regular joes. They think they're on the bully's side until he turns on them.

Been up in #Edinburgh at MOVE Summit. Helped out with some 1:1 creative sessions, and spoke on a panel about the future of commissioning.
Judging by the vibrancy of the whole shebang I think the animation industry is alive and kicking!😁

After numerous years on Twitter - I mean X - I left for BlueSky.
