It's world diabetes day today, I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 15... so for over 22 years (🫣)!

When I drew myself for the new Wax Heads trailer, it's the first time I've been more explicit about it by showing my libre blood sensor on my arm. 👀

Am I secretly posting music videos of Wax Heads songs in our discord that we're not supposed to be releasing yet?

Surely not...

We've started posting in our new Wax Heads discord, which is perfect because it gives me the opportunity to start sharing ridiculous things like my 100 song long inspiration playlist for the game 😂

For those curious, the discord link is here: discord.gg/WAKBns3K 👀🔥

Getting into the halloween spirit by adding some cosmetic items to Wax Heads today, please enjoy my fictional horror posters
Screenshot of fictional horror movie posters illustrated to be seen inside of Wax Heads, a record store video game. The posters from left to right show: A rotting hand bursting out of the dirt with the caption "You've got to HAND it to him" / A skeletal figure holding a glowing sandwich made of pins and the caption PINWICH / an eyeball with bugs of various sizes dotted around and the caption BUG FACE / a bleeding teethed human like dog with the caption MAN DOG

I did it, I've joined the Green Party.

I've voted for them pretty consistently for years, but remained cautious in fully embracing them, but the recent direction of how energised the new Green leadership is and the messaging has pushed me to take the plunge!

Wanna go from passive to active 💚🔥🙌

Quite a way to celebrate 15 years of listening to Magnetic Fields together ❤️

Me and Daisy are in London to watch Magnetic Fields play ALL of 69 love songs over two nights in the union chapel and yeah it's amazing so far, just had the first half (or 1/4 even haha) and I know it sounds dumb, but honestly forgot how iconic every song is, which is mad for 69 songs 🫠🙃😂😅

This is what it used to be - and a lot of people did not get thatt putting the record in the basket was adding it to the "basket", alas 😅

Quick question - what do you think is the function that comes from clicking on this dog?

(Apologies for how rough it looks, I'm doing some rapid changes to some UI... absolutely not for any cool announcements or anything related to Wax Heads)

Look I'm just gonna say it, I'm proud of this icon I designed for Wax Heads, look at how cute that little guy is!!!
app icon illustrated for Wax Heads depicting a little record sleeve with a record popping out but there are eyes where the hole of the sleeve would be and as the middle of the record, resembling a face and then having a little smile. It has an orange background and single blue hue as the record sleeve.

Vocals for "Jarhead - Enemy Within" done! It's a delicious metal song written by @ginaloughlin.com for Wax Heads and it was a ton of fun!

Here's a sneak peek...can't wait til people hear this soundtrack 👀❤️🔥

(Shoutout to @shrinkwrapped.bsky.social 'Ritual Error' band tee being my lucky metal charm)

Tomorrow I'm singing the 'Jarhead song', "The Enemy Within" (Composed by the excellent @ginaloughlin.com) it's an industrial metal monster sculpted in likeness of NIN (or to get really specific also Smashing Pumpkins "Zero").

Can't wait!

Any guesses which Jarhead album it comes from? 👇
x3 record sleeve covers of the band Jarhead, an industrial metal band that exists in the world of Wax Heads. From left to right, the first cover is a reddish, mutated kaledioscope background with the title "The bloated belljar" on top of a jar that looks like it has organs inside. The second album cover is a close up of a face with lots of vibrant lines and pink/yellow hues on top, baring yellow teeth with the words "Jarhead - Pucker" across them. The third album is a collection of cartoonish blue hued heads with pink eyes and no pupils, grinning. Adorned in the bottom right corner is the title "Jarhead + Pit" written in a hand written stylistic font.

About a third of the way through "Empire of AI" by @karenhao.bsky.social

Really, really really enjoying it, super informative whilst also clinical in exposing the smoke and mirrors of the industry around AI.

I feel vindicated in my cynicism
