"surprising" not to those of us who have been masking for nearly six damn years now

THREAD. 3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Red Dwarf X (2012): Erroneous Reasoning Research Academy, model designed & built by Bill Pearson Originally built as a spaceship for a canceled 1980s sci-fi series (Saurus, a script written by Bill Pearson). Used more than two decades later as a space station in Red Dwarf.

Almost done with my custom G2 Hooligan from Maverick. Waiting for matt varnish to seal before transforming him back to robot mode and do one final tidy up (that I can be arsed doing) and then some G2 con stickers. Yes I suck at t stripes but don't they ain't gonna get any better at this point.

I am going to guess this is when this Weather Station caught fire. #VicFires

Adelaide Writers Festival just reduced to Christoper Pyne and Alexander Downer on stage getting increasingly sloshed on gin and tonics trading bitchy gossip about other people

For as much as I was OBSESSED by The X-Files as a teen, I have rarely rewatched much of it in the past 20+ years. The time feels right for a rewatch. There’s also a big chunk of episodes in seasons 7-9 that I never saw. My interest started to fade after the show moved to LA.

Victoria's bushfires appear to be confusing rain radars (& thus rain alert apps) 😔

Thanks, YouTube Music -- I've only been using you since launch day.

I don't usually post much music stuff, but Playlunch's Keith is really catchy and fun and has an especially spicy and especially Australian chorus. May it roll through to a high rank on el Hottest 100-o. 😂❤️ youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?...

I'm opening commissions! A5/A4 B&W traditional art and Digital art DM, email or reply to this post if interested!

Blokees Dinobot Desertion set - shiny!

A short 3d render of a Minbari fleet from Babylon 5 flying by. Enjoy. #scifi #scifiart #fanart #babylon5

hello to the folks who are new to bluesky, if you're looking to follow Indigenous creatives particularly in the art/comics & ttrpg sphere, I have a starter pack for that! go.bsky.app/Giagefv

Tonight's sunset clouds. Holy mackerel.

If you got a problem, yo, I'll solvent, check out the gunk, isopropyl dissolves it

Blokees Wheels is here! I didn't know until a couple of weeks ago but there's a full Optimus with Trailer set sold separately! Of course I added it to my order!

TIL there's a total ripoff of Mario Party but with Lego

Impressive Christmas parking effort.

Counting down the hours until the first live event for Pokemon Go in Australia - City Safari Sydney is on this weekend!

Next one might last long enough to be defeated at the election.

What is the point of reporting any offensive or bullying comments on Facebook any more? Absolute junk.

Melbourne's Metro Tunnel is now open! If you head to the stations today, there's pins!

Cool light show moving through north of Melbourne tonight. This is a time lapse, but there's plenty of lightning to see in real time.

There is definitely something to be said for Kmart's Scorponok reissue listing having the rear view as its main photo.

TFW you forget you're doing a route, explore the city instead and do 42km of an 800m route.

Go Wild Area ... Ready!

If there is one thing you should take from me live posting about Raiders tonight, which I cannot emphasize enough, is that Karen Allen is and always has been beautiful.

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

Why though?

Extra extra! Studio Series Windcharger is out in Singapore so let's take a look at him!

It's the last hours of this Singapore trip and I need to reclaim some space in my bag ... so, it's time to open up and build Blokees Defender wave 5! Different setting this time (I'm at Starbucks) but we still have all the chase variants to build. Not sure how this will go!

Well, there goes my money for the rest of November. Grail acquired.

I'm pretty sure if I walk over there a Korok will appear.

Picked up an Animated Jetpack Bumblebee today from a toy seller in Singapore. I've been after this for *ages* ❤️ Why yes that is a shelf of MISB Animated toys behind me. And that's only part of what's on offer.

Why tho?

The Lord of Chaos has taken up residence on my desk and is already getting to know the locals.

Transformers, Age of the Primes, Skydive

New pins acquired! This is the Pokémon Legends Z-A Switch 2 pre-order bonus pin set, with Chikorita, Tepig and Totodile. I was actually a bit disappointed to find these pins were a print attached to a metal back. Would have preferred an actual proper enamel pin design, but they are what they are.

New pin acquired! WWE Crown Jewel Perth "I was there" pin. I was not there, but friends who were kindly grabbed this for me. It's pretty cool, with a nice jewel effect on it. Wasn't really on screen, but WWE adopted the Quokka as a mascot for the event. Nice big bright pin! ❤️

Post a green Transformer!

At long last, I have assembled Blokees Devastator! While the lack of thigh swivels and necessary leftover parts are a bit of a letdown, overall he looks absolutely fantastic and was quite fun to assemble! I also appreciate that he scales pretty nicely with GV/SV figures and matches their aesthetic.

Time to build the rest of Blokees Defender wave 4. Mainly because Defender wave 5 is practically already on the water!

Rhea Ripley is having to explain to the WWE universe what a bin chicken is live on YouTube 😂

Favourite sign of WWE Crown Jewel Perth - Seth don't burn it down, it's bushfire season. 😂❤️

Cena/Styles @ Crown Jewel, fantastic match!

Holy shit WWE got the guy from Bumblebee!
