Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Not today, Santa

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, an Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, a purring cat, and a basket of emotional support scones.

Today's free game on Epic is the fantastic Disco Elysium: store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/disc...

At the in-law's, watching a round-up of 80s pop classics on TV, and I think this show is quite old. Not only are some of the interviewees now deceased, one of them said, "this song was played at Prince Andrew's wedding. Isn't that lovely?"

This is like looking at photos of coral bleaching

I was given a button that makes a cha-ching sound for Christmas. I like being on Folksy very much, but I have missed the Etsy cha-ching. Can't wait to get a sale so I can hit the button! ...somebody please make my day!

“If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!”

On the one hand, there's real suffering, cruelty, and injustice in this world. On the other, you never have enough sideplates at this time of year, do you?

Tiny things in office life that make me unreasonably annoyed # 2,376: Me, emailing: "Understood. I will let you know once I have done x, y, and z" Them: "Thank you. Please let me know once you have done x, y, and z" WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

This is probably my favorite artwork from last year. An older piece, but still one I'm particular fond of. #sciart #wildlife #mammals #primates #apes #orangutans

Went to Edinburgh Zoo on Saturday evening to see their display of giant lanterns. They all looked amazing and some of them were huge! Great fun!

My mate's little girl.

Ooh, this is something I'd like to participate in 👀 Choose 20 paintings that have stayed with you or influenced you — one painting a day (or thereabouts) for 20 days, no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just paintings. 1: The Druids - Bringing In the Mistletoe, Henry & Hornel, 1890

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

As Christmas orders are now closed, I'm going to post some pieces that I have sold in the past. A wee trip down memory lane. This one is from back in 2021, an African peach moth. #Moth #AfricanPeachMoth #Insects #Drawing #MixedMedia #Artwork

Honestly, if they create a popular, non-fash copy of old-style Twitter, after Musk spent all that money Reiching it up, it'll be the funniest thing since... god, I don't know. It's been so long since I laughed at anything in the news www.theverge.com/report/84199...

I'm like a couple of hundred years old now but I've never got over the thrill of seeing workmen on a roof. They're standing on top of a roof! That's not where people go! People go underneath the roof!

I've been listening to Japanese music recently to help with my language studies and I love some of the bands names. Listening to jangly pop and light rock music from bands called "ogre you asshole" and "mass of the fermenting dregs"

A tiny grasshopper. A small original artwork at just £25 that can be sent direct as a gift with a message and will easily fit in a standard letterbox. folksy.com/items/8575942 #Grasshopper #Insects #OriginalArt #Drawing #ColourPencil #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #ShopIndy #bsnm #ChristmasGifts

Yeah, no thanks

Inventing data transmission back through time so I can recommend bands to my teenage self that I missed out on at the time (because music back then wasn't instant access to a bottomless digital well, but a little shop in a city a forty minute bus ride away)

Retired ghost train animatronic Streeting said: “I’m so nervous. What if he picks up? What if he’s seen this ADHD thing and gone ‘Attaboy, Streeting! Why don’t you come to the White House and play a round of golf with me and my friends? They’re your friends now, too, Wes, and so am I’?”

This was my cat's (may he Rest In Purrs) favourite bird. He'd sit at the kitchen window and chatter at them as they danced about on a wire outside. Thing is, I think they enjoyed it too, because after he passed away we never saw those birds on that wire again.

not a drawing but im working on a puppet for work :) never made smth like this before, so im really thrilled the mechanism is working out (head is moved with my thumb, mouth opens through a trigger)

A Christmas favourite, the robin is one of Britain’s most loved birds. My new drawing is now available on Folksy. My shop is 'The Wee Owl Art' folksy.com/items/8588837 #Robin #Birds #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #ShopIndy #SupportSmallBusiness #bsnm

Shut up, Spotify. Everyone knows there are only seven genres, and that's only if you count country and western as two.

I love getting the end of year streaming music roundup so I can see my top ten songs that are all from that one new album per year that I obsessed about for three months and played to death

Something to brighten a winter day. White geese in a patch of tulips. A new drawing, now available from 'The Wee Owl Art' on Folksy... folksy.com/items/8587733 #Geese #Birds #BirdArt #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #TraditionalArtist #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #ShopIndy #ChristmasGifts
