I do lots of stuff but my new fruitless project is a podcast called What You Don't Know About Christmas. I'm not great at it yet but I'm enjoying myself. I'm bad a social media too so I only have 37 listeners. But if one person enjoys it, right?

I said to someone that psychopomp was one of my favourite words and they told me it sounds like giving a serial killer a hand job. It's not a favourite any more.

For the last couple of mornings, this little lady has been traversing my desk. She's negotiated dangerous high wires, passed a strange glowing alien tower and now she's made it to the expanse. God speed little ladybird, god speed.

And of course I went back to this picture for my wife. I think unless she points out something wrong with it, it is finally done and no longer a #wip.

Added in some warms and cools as well as a load of individual fur strands, painted the sides. Love this cat (and wife obvs).

Took the Christmas decorations down on Friday. I always miss one but there's three of us in this house, one bathroom and we all missed this one!

Why do characters on TV and motivational posts keep saying that the definition of madness is repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome? It's clearly not, you just have to think about it for a second.

i now have one (1) calendar year to have surgery as the surgeon needs the diagnosis to be no more than 12 months ago (truly the hoop jumping is intense) so if anyone can spare anything, it's incredibly appreciated!
shares also super super helpful <3 <3 <3

Inspired by Kate Bush's Cloudbusting. I installed a rainbow maker. It's powered by queerness. Guess a lot of you are hung over.

When I first saw Halo on the Xbox I thought, 'finally the thing I wished for when I was playing 3D Monster Maze on my ZX Spectrum has come true.' I'm having the same experience with this book. Finally... @sachacoward.bsky.social

Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

It is New Year's Eve. Ghosts crowd the pub's fire, tell stories to stitch centuries together. The year takes its last, rasping breaths. Every flame in the room trembles. The space between tick and tock on the mantel clock seems to lengthen. Hope struggles to be born again. – #CLNolan #NewYearsEve

Actually it's going to be set in a ballet school and titled "Nosferatutu."
It's actually going to be set in Spain and titled, "Dosferatu".
I can’t fucking wait for Nosfera2.
