I don’t know what prompted this, I just know that the Charles Rennie Mackintosh font gives it the je ne sais quoi it needed.
A ink and paint pen drawing of an ermine (stoat) standing on rocks, wit( his head turned to the right, his body facing left. He is wearing a gold crown with blue-irised eyeballs set as gems, with blood dripping from them. His front paws are bloody, and there is blood spattered on his face and chest. He is smiling. On the rocks below his bloody paws is written “KING ERMINE DECORATES HIS CROWN WITH HUMAN EYEBALLS”, in Art Nouveau Rennie Mackintosh-style letters, as if this is an illustration in a Victorian storybook. I was thinking of how many stoats have been killed for their coats and tails to make robes for English aristocracy. I saw a stoat once, as I was sitting very still by a stream. It walked right by me, and crossed the stream. Stoats are quite shy. It was nice.

I think it's some kind of posh test if you hear David and Victoria and whether you think of the Beckhams or the Mitchells. I'm definitely in the latter camp. @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I went to see my GP about RSI once, meaning I was struggling with pain and using my mouse in work. He asked if I'd been carrying too much shopping. I was furious! He wouldn't ask a man that.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
