Christmas design on Redbubble. It's available as cards, postcards, magnets, stickers, notebooks, wall art and an apron. The cards are priced more for one-off greetings cards than for Christmas, but they do have a sale at the moment and they're cheaper the more you buy.

🔥This is a killer quote by @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social in 'Awakened':

👉denoting when the CDC 'renamed' ME to CFS in 1988 after the outbreak in Lake Tahoe.

Text in image: 'Pedantic Zebra Bookclub. I've always hated the name chronic fatigue syndrome for its total manipulation of perception. Myalgic encephalomyelitis described the intense pain of its sufferers, and recognised Ramsay's discovery of brain inflammation at the onset of illness in a number of his patients. These patients, like my mother, weren't simply fatigued; they were incapacitated by the most basic exertion. Laura Elliot, Awakened. #pedanticzebra LONG COVID ADVOCACY' Below the text is a stylized, dark image of a crow with bright blue eyes, partially obscured by the text. A large blue/purple circle is in the upper left corner. A logo of a purple hand is in the bottom right corner above the text "LONG COVID ADVOCACY".

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Thank you to those sharing my illustration and Redbubble shop. Ideally I'd hold stock myself but being bedridden makes this, and shipping, impossible without help. The best way for me to sell art at the moment is POD.
🙂 Shares!

Pleased with how my cushion cover design came out from Redbubble. It's a bit brighter than the original image. You can buy the innards as well, but it was vacuum sealed and I didn't want to open before posting.

Posting old halloween comics, #4. From 2015
For this comic you have to imagine it as two separate pictures depicting almost identical scenes. There are three kids dressed as a devil, a ghost and a witch, and they are outside a person’s home receiving treats on a tray from the resident. In the background, their parents - parent 1, parent 2 and parent 3, watch on from the pavement. There are labels pointing to every person in each scene. HALLOWEEN IN AMERICA [Labels]: Joyful [a person at a cosy party seen through the window of the house] Ebullient [Another person at the party, we see them laughing through the window] Charmed [A fully dracula-costumed guy handing out trates at the front door] Home made skull cookies and lemonade [The contents of the man’s tray he is handing out to the kids] Delighted [The first kid on the path, dressed as a devil] Excited [The second kid on the path, dressed as a ghost] Enraptured [The third kid on the path, dressed as a witch] Emotional [Parent 1, stood back on the pavement, beaming in joy] Proud [Parent 2, clasping their hands, tearful] Capturing the moment [Parent 3, taking a photo on their phone] HALLOWEEN IN BRITRIN [The same sort of scene, but in Britain] [Labels]: Angry [A dog barking out the window. There is no party going on in the house. Through the window we see a woman just wtching telly] Offended [The woman having her TV show interrupted] Resentful [Guy dressed in normal clothes, grumpily handing out ‘treats’ on a tray at the door] 2 Celebrations and a Rennie [The contents of his tray] Disappointed [Child 1] Awkward [Child 2] Awkward [Child 3] Awkward [Parent 1, standing with arms folded] Mortified [Parent 2, looking embarassed] Checking for paedophiles [Parent 3, looking suspiciously at the guy answering the door] [ends]

You all must be in work! But you can't have Access to Work! You can't have independence payments! You can't get the bus in time for work but you also can't have motability! You can't have covid vaccines but when you don't recover it's not our problem.
