My studio is around the corner from them but crucially a few meters higher so I didn't get flooded. Look out for their video, it was a bad one!

In Scotland, near Perth is a village called Scone, and a stately home called Scone Palace. In Scone palace is this print, which spells the place name as "Skuyn". Could there be a link with @tomashuuns.bsky.social's name?

A mixed feelings time of year. I love having the time to start new projects and explore ideas, but I feel unsettled having so much work on the go without knowing how it will turn out and when and where I can sell. Still waiting for the outcome of the most recent batch of show applications.

Not feeling the love today 😐
Dundee is usually not too bad for cycling but today I had way too many aggressive close passes on my 15 min ride home.
Why can't drivers just wait 15 seconds, especially if the main reason they cannot overtake safely is because the road is narrowed by parked cars?

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.
For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.
Thanks 🙏😎

We asked our supporters if we should keep posting on X or if we should focus on other channels and the answer was overwhelming.
So from today our X account will no longer be active and we’re looking forward to spending time with you all here on Bluesky!

Would you consider signing this petition to the UK government to introduce Dutch-style presumed liability for road traffic collision civil cases? This has been shown to encourage safer driving around cyclists and pedestrians and resolve compensation claims.

Went out for some sunshine. Lots of shared use paths, lots of dogwalkers, no problem. Slow down, share a smile and some words.
That's not the place for going fast. And we should get this across to drivers - town centres and residential streets are for slow and friendly. Not rat-running.
