The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

This is a really good resource eyeson-ai.org

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

You know who never has to justify their money/existence, cut corners, “find efficiencies”, or go through increasingly labyrinthine applications? The military. Always plenty of free, easy money there. Going up to 3.5% of GDP by 2035 thanks to Labour. Real healthy, functional society.

I'm a guest contributor for this issue! I'll be writing and illustrating a piece about Backrooms, the rise of cinematic liminal horror and what it says about our relationship to our environments under capitalism. There will also be loads of fantastic original comics. Pre-order your copy today!

Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head

2023 essay-comic by @tomhumberstone.com, connecting the Luddites & subsequent rebellions against harm for profit to today's technocapitalism. A good read to share w/students—maybe ask to pick one quoted work or movement to research further, create a nondigital zine page for a class response zine?

Brutal demolition from @eciu.net of the 'we're just one per cent of global emissions - what difference can we make' bullshit. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Here’s some Orlando book launches and events that are coming up! La Belle Adventure, Edinburgh, Saturday June 20th from 4-6pm with a talk chaired by @tomhumberstone.com - free and you can book here: my.weezevent.com/highlight-la...

Access to social media (Reddit, Discord, Twitch) at 15-16 genuinely helped my bullied kid go from “I am a dislikeable weirdo who will never make friends“ depression to finding a friend group of people with shared interests that’s had major knock-on positive effects to their offline confidence

the official position of the PM seems to be that the owner of X is actively working to spread disorder in this country, yet the PM still posts public pronouncements on X, an app that he believes the 16 year olds he wants to extend the vote to shouldn't be allowed to access before their birthday.

The social media ban for under-16s does nothing to sort out the harms caused by platforms. Harmful content is a product of a business model that uses data to drive engagement and target users with ads. Digital ID checks feed more data into this system, while leaving the engine for harms unchecked.

⏰ TONIGHT! ⏰

This is so monumentally stupid. Once again restricting and censoring access to information, community and support instead of regulating big tech, AI or the companies who exist to influence online discourse. Improve kids’ material conditions if you want their mental health to be better.

Want to start your own local comics meet-up but not sure how? @toadlett.bsky.social’s got you!

This call to require AI companies to disclose their training data is the bare minimum regulation we should be demanding, but everyone should sign it. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Deleted my Linktree and will eventually figure out a replacement. Lots of good recs in the comments of this post. Good example of being a digital nomad. Don’t ever feel too settled on any of these platforms. Be ready to move as soon as they do something objectionable.

When I was illustrating a ‘Libraries in Pop Culture’ article, I really struggled with the Sunnydale Library illustration. Buffy meant - means - a lot to me and I wanted to get it right. I drew so many versions of Giles’ glasses acting which I never used. Here are a few. RIP Anthony Stewart Head.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

This is today! I’m all set up. The weather is actually very nice but you should still come.

No plans this weekend? Live in Edinburgh? 🚨 I'll be tabling at the Auld Alliance Comics Festival! 🗓️ Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 10am-3pm 🆓 Free entry 🎨 I'll have comics, zines and prints! 🖌️ There will be talks, signings, and live drawing! And, crucially, the weather will be bad. Come be indoors and say hi!

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

One of the things I love about drawing is that it changes how you see the world. You notice more. Take time to observe. Same with writing. It helps me order my thoughts. Listen to others. Pay attention. Doing these things has never been about the end result or the quality. It’s about the process

All set up at Glasgow Zine Fest. I’m at the back of the hall. Come say hi!
