So this made my day!

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

We have found the rebel bass

One from the archive. This mimikyu figurine.

Dungeon map fun. Drawn on stream last night. Chat helped with room suggestions. Fine line pen and coloured pencils on 5mm graph paper.

School book belonging to a 12-year-old. Village near Tolosa, Basque Country, 1966. "In school I must not speak Basque" 1,000 (one thousand) lines. Via @KikeAmonarriz. And a recent picture of the boy Lontxo Zubeldia via Naiz. Should be a museum exhibit on the realities of Francoism.

I have a new book out today. It’s called Orbital Drop and you should all go buy it.

This amazing online event is happening tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21st. Susanna Clarke, @amalelmohtar.com, Gregory Maguire and I will be talking about fairy tales, fairy lore, and fairy tale literature for the @britishlibrary.bsky.social. Please join us! events.bl.uk/events/fairy...

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

People should read. I'm tired of people not reading. Please, if you can, PLEASE, read! Read everything, but especially fiction! Read comics! It will help you with empathy AND make you smarter. Please, read.

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

Who called it "AI theft" and not "six finger discount"?

This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right. BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf

No matter how much of the paperwork was signed in Sharpie. Or who claims credit for it. This is why NASA's mission is important.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Nirvana ✨ Lake of Fire (MTV Unplugged, 1993) Remembering Kurt Cobain, gone today April 5th, 1994 — 32 years ago. 💔

WRT how you consume & enjoy media. You do you. But there are big segments of fandoms, viewership and "reviewers" who unironically sound exactly like this. It's deeply unserious.

Born 30th March 1930, actor John Astin. Sadly, the majority of the original cast of "The Addams Family" are no longer with us, but, happily John is still around. John Astin played Gomez Addams in the show from 1964 to 1966. He is 96 today. #JohnAstin #Gomez

You wouldn't be ”asking ChatGPT” anything if Max Zorin had managed to flood Silicon Valley in 1985

Interesting fact, I always assumed it was because of the golden ratio 😳 but reality is far more interesting.

Joy.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Storm surging outside. As warmth returns to the walls It still feels empty.

I got worried when i saw multiple people posting about Dolly Parton but apparently it's only because its her birthday. phew!

Here is your chance to tell discord to stick their AI up their arse before they ignore the feedback and implement it anyway.

Cards 359 & 360 5 away from the number that will let my brain rest. #art #mindfulart #fineliner

Why are government agencies, public services and companies still on twitter? Every one of them has it's own website and apps where it could be providing essential information directly to the people who need it without the risk of exposing them to CSAM.

Card 151 A few behind.. but I'm not stressing. #dailypracrice #mindfulart #art

I keep thinking about the new Knives Out: Wake Up, Dead Man. (potential spoilers) There's so much in it about faith and what creates loyalty and meaning. But as a disabled person, the thread of the wheelchair user seeking healing had me bracing myself. 1/

Card 346 and friend. Did a little catch-up today. #dailypractice #mindfulart #art

I might be ok? Maybe? .. ..fuck. You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

It's been a rough month of emotional labour for me. But seeing Grifters Tate & Paul getting the shit beaten out of them within hours of each other has really taken the edge off. I look forward to a lot of "..this you?" memes dogging them & their shitty opinions on masculinity for many years to come.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.
