if you think about it, most every trans woman is a postman

Out of curiosity, are there any fellow artists who create art inspired by vintage print/book illustrations? Would love to follow more who share my niche.

“The legal situation for trans people, employers and service providers is now completely incoherent," says @transsolidarity.bsky.social  Understand the judgement 👇

The guitarist looks ready to lead a shadowy cult ceremony, the bassist like an elaborately vandalized Easter Island head. "Oh god," you might think to yourself, "this looks like some real Burning Man shit."

Today's tune is "Knowing" by Tessa Violet. A spectacular start to her upcoming 4th album, it's earnest in sharing a hope that comes from the desire to grow. youtu.be/bU_-OhxcFVI

Fun fact, the script for this episode was nearly 11,000 words (that's not including notes beforehand and previous drafts) This is still shorter than Levy, and dare I say a smidgen more fun to listen to 🤭

I would quietly suggest this is one of our best episodes. The research and careful analysis that went into this is a shining example of what I think WTT does really well...and of course I went and threw a grab bag of deeply silly noises all over it too

"Inkle has been quietly building a reputation as one of the most intellectually ambitious studios in games. I thought I knew their rhythm. Stories that reward patience. What I didn’t expect was TR-49 to feel like it was staring directly at our cultural moment and refusing to blink."

Last night watching Face the Music, I was able to recognise the "The Sprig of Thyme" whenplayed. So today's tune is one of my favourite renditions of it "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" by Lady Maisery youtu.be/BPt3hO6wsU4

The work continues, but maybe slower.

Health kept me up last night, and I ended up watching “The Australia Wars” on BBC4. A fascinating and quite sensitively done series, about the violence and two-facedness of British colonialism in Australia

Pico8 is fun!

Today's tune is a new release "Everywhere Isn't Texas" by August Ponthier. A sweet-sad song about being LGBTQ+ in a red state youtu.be/KzeGCmiMLYQ

Blocking children from VPNs, as this suggests, actually means introducing age-verification for adults using VPNs

Check this shit out motherfucker [I slide one foot out from under me and fall on my ass, the camera matrix-style swings 180 degrees making clear what kind of move I was trying to do]

Today's choice of tune is inspired by my bookshelf sorting. Each pause as I sort, I'm entranced by lines of scribbly black I can't pick up The Wind In The Willows without thinking of this album. youtu.be/vp79_ws6jCM

One of the missions this weekend is a bookshelf sort. I've found Gulliver's Travels, Paddington Bear, and a book of "First Aid for the Injured" (I have to wonder if there's any other sort of first aid)

finally painted the dumbest 3D sculpt i’ve made to date #art

I will accept both books and chocolates
