omg hiiiiiiiiiii!

Just looking through some old comics and found a mail order advert for Small Prophets

I wonder when we'll be ready to talk about how schools are now full of gameified dopamine slot machine apps for learning times tables, science, even reading itself, that are priming an entire generation for gambling and gaming addiction.

New boiler tomorrow, which is fabulous, but means as the boiler people have to have access to every radiator I have been cleaning and moving furniture alll morning and am now dead.

I can never not repost this

Unfortunately even if you could open a portal to the Bluey Dimension, you would not be able to happily live in Dog Australia. To talking dogs, a human would be a horrific abomination and you’d be immediately locked up by the dog government for medical experimentation

Just listened to a whole quite pleasant podcast interview before realising that I know and hate the interviewee. Urrgh.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

Reading that extraordinary Tracy Emin article, I was really taken by this paragraph.

look at these! marvellous! many boxes of decks have been sold but it'd be good to sell some more because I have to move house in a few months

Roses are grey, And violets are grey, Hello, this is dog, Please have a good day

Since the world has been making the effort to learn Chinese culture, it's important to know that unmarried folks are allowed to extort money from married people during Lunar New Year. Use this knowledge to your advantage.

If I say: ‘Goodnight from Michael Sleep, working in his shed to feed his prophesying homunculi …’ you have both the show’s premise and an understanding of why it feels so Hooklandian to me. Everyday weirdness in stories about people like us.

Put a tiny eyeball in a tiny jar. Essential for your tiny science lab. #eyeball #needlefelt #wool #art

Found the definitive Wuthering Heights adaption. Respectfully.

Too lazy to make a new one :p Love you all.

I want these

I complain about this website being full of party poopers that rain on everyone’s parade all the time but let’s be honest I am personally an all-time top parade rainer.

Having to unfollow folks because they repost A.I. images. Disappointing.

Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.

What are people who don't want to use Substack using instead of Substack? (Asking as a reader who wants to support content on non-Nazi-adjacent platforms.)

The Last Crumbs (In The Restaurant La Mie)

Thought you'd be free of my nonsense when I am finally gathered up into the arms of the Lord? Think again, assholes.

I also felted these this week, one a day. Should anyone want a tiny bee.

Same.

We found a fine crop of Witches' Butter (Exidia glandulosa) on a dead log this week. It's normally darker than this, but perhaps this batch is new? #FungiFriday #FungiFriends @fungiflowers.bsky.social @judywebb.bsky.social

Once again for the people at the back. Especially anyone looking at Times, Mail or Telegraph headlines today.

Stolen this from @outonbluesix.bsky.social's excellent mail-out (subscribe on Patreon). It occurred to me that this TV Times cover makes it look like all those characters have emerged from James Bolam's imagination, like he was lying in bed dreaming-up Quatermass, Michael Aspel and Dusty Bin.

A small work of genius

Kudos to @netpol.org for being the first to report this.

I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it is to deprive that withered old cunt of your money. Waterstones, Argos, Boots - it is so easy to get whatever you need, and it feels kinda fun, like taking a holiday in 90s Britain

More finished #needlefelt #hare #chair #woolart #art

I can't adequately describe quite how deep my hatred is of the Labour Party and everyone still lending it credibility by residing in that disgusting cesspit of a party.

Fucking bees. Darwin got it

Got my felting machine! Polished up a sofa. Going to try some actual detailed things next... #needlefelt #wool

Reposting a fellow artist’s ko-fi page reminds me I have one as well. I barely ever mention it. I am as if “no worries if not” made a person. All money I make goes back in the business or towards my vintage heroin collection. ko-fi.com/marswasrubbish

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

One of my favourite JVDB moments is when he teaches the acting class, writes his name on the board and puts two exclamation marks after it:

RIP James Van Der Beek. He was 48.

woolbotherer.sumupstore.com Slowly adding more stuff to my online store, have a look!

Went for a walk, found a castle (in someones back garden)
