Anyway, ID cards that are not-for-foreigners are such bobbins. It screams desperation. Like demonising marginalised people as a way to look like you’re relevant, without doing anything of worth, for example.

Just getting ready to pose for my compulsory UK ID photo

We already have a Brit Card

Getting this printed out and laminated for when I need it

Hi Devil? Yeah, we love the energy, keep it there. One note, it says smited, not smitten... you're giving smitten... Ok? Ok 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Archangel Michael smiting the Devil, Luisa Roldan, 1692, originally in Basilica of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, now at Galería de las Colleciones Reales, Madrid

I have a joke about Ariadne but I lost the thread

It’s better than most sitcoms tbh

My go to coffee shop is taking names for orders now. Ugh. Thanks for making that a thing, Starbucks. 🙄

Unless it’s from the Lucozade region it’s just sparkling glucose.

Great morning for gilet fans

A great reminder to a fab afternoon

I was going through a couple of sketchbooks this morning, and was reminded that last year I tried a master study of one of #JohnSingerSargent’s #malenude #watercolours. It’s hardly a replica, but it was a rewarding challenge.i don’t know think I really need to point out which is which.

People really do look at you funny when you tell them Christmas is a time for horror stories.

A few episodes into #AlienEarth and really loving how they’ve drawn from the original ideas behind the films. Yes, the xenomorph is a monster, but it’s the unchecked ambition behind scientific progress, without ethics, that’s really terrifying.

That’s what Mary Shelly would have wanted…

Really struggling to get started today. Must be all the wokeism.

The Flag Shagger Parade has really outed some racists, hasn’t it?

The title of ‘world’s richest’ anything just reads as ‘biggest parasite doing fuck all for the betterment of the world’.

Ink-speriment (hmm, not sure I like that term either) of the fab @gingermusclnuggie.bsky.social #maleart #muscularmale #queerart #gayartist

The Kraken Awakes! Pastel pencil on A4 grey paper #figurestudy #figuredrawing #maleart #tattooedmen #beardedmen #meninunderwear #homoeroticart

For those following my #miniaturepainting, I’ve achieved something of a personal challenge goal. I’ve managed, in almost two months, to complete two boxes of #mythicbattlespantheon - the base game and Rise of the Titans. Painting armies though… eesh. #greekmythology #tabletopgaming #gamingminis

I’ve not posted art for a little bit! Seems remiss. #watercolour artwork of a ln informally formal gent. #figureart #malenude #homoeroticart #watercolor

Look, I don’t venerate any political party leader. I actually thought Starmer was going to be great at one point. Dare I hope Zack Polanski won’t be a disappointment in some way? For now, he seems to be winning the ‘Possibly Not A Cunt’ rosette. It’s the highest honour I can give a party leader.

Just reading about a pilot who forgot how to fly mid-flight. In unrelated news, back to work after a week’s leave.

Gay culture is seeing the same meme sentiments on different font formats

Currently listening to ‘Human Rites’ by @junodawson.bsky.social Love this series very much, and I really enjoy Nicola Coughlan’s narration, which spikes every time she says ‘Satanus’.

If you’d like an insight into my psyche… Some people derive satisfaction from rewarding time at the gym, or making an amazing meal from scratch. Some years ago, a friend made this wonderful wooden box for me. I can fit all my small watercolour sets and a palette in it. TREMENDOUSLY SATISFYING

It’s not a real problem, but about to start a project and feeling that low-level worry… All my sculpting attempts before were learning and ‘just for fun’. Then I got a bit better. Now it feels like there’s more riding on it, but it’s still really low stakes and no one really cares. So silly.

Having one of those Sundays where I laid down on the sofa and a blink lasted 57 minutes.

Wild to think it was only 1982 when pubs legally had to serve women in the UK.

Latest miniature painted. Well a big miniature. The Lernian #hydra from #mythicbattlespantheon, with #Heracles. It’s ok, you got this, babes. #gamingminis #tabletopgames #greekmyth #minipainting

I bought some acrylic paints primarily for painting miniatures. Of course, the curiosity of painting nude men with them is far too great. #figureart #figurestudy #malenude

While people were being super rad and listening to cool music in the late 80s/early 90s, I really enjoyed very poppy, silly hair rock. Just started Peacemaker…. Minimal spoiler: It featured Tygertailz’ Love Bomb Baby. I love it still. A perfect pop song and such a wonderful memory for youth.

Just had to unfollow someone for posting with “wataa”. I’m sorry, with that and “chudai” I just can’t anymore

“That’s enough internet for one day,” we say. But it never is, is it? It never is.

Glad it’s cooler today. I threw a waistcoat on over a shirt I clearly can’t be fucked to iron.

Been getting a lot of porny spam bots. Do people actually still fall for them? In 2025? It’s almost like believing in exorcisms. Oh wait, it’s 2025. Of course people still believe in exorcisms. Never mind, as you were.

I can’t hear a man calling another man ‘bro’ unironically without thinking it’s going to be followed up with, “Please don’t tell my girlfriend what we did.” I will not give my reasons for this.

Made further inroads into #acrylicpainting yesterday, based on a session with @giuseppeclaudio.bsky.social What I really enjoy with acrylic is the ability to correct mistakes fairly easily, or so it seems. #figureart #malenude #paintingthenude

Something I struggle with in these modern times is the constant demands for feedback. Every purchase, every delivery, every service. I know it’s important to online businesses, but I haven’t complained. Take the win.

Dreading what men dot com is going to come up with for their parody of Weapons

The #Minotaur - not sculpted by me (I wish) from the #MythicBattlesPantheon game #tabletopgaming #miniaturepainting #wargamingminis #greekmythology

Solid advice when dealing with debate guys from Kyle Prue

Study of @kagedouglas.bsky.social I got very frustrated with #watercolour: the delicacy, the management of smoothness and certain complex techniques. I am, in comparison to fine watercolour artists, an oaf. Now I delight in daubing and shoving paint around. When it works, it works (to me).

Came in after a few after work drinks. Decided to make myself something to eat. My husband: “make a crisp sandwich.” Find someone who gets you.

Just got into cross-purposes with workmate while talking about 80s remake of The Blob. She thought I was talking about Flubber.

One of the things that annoys me most about implemented online age restrictions is the erroneous use of apostrophes in “VPN’s”

I’ve seen that video of Joanna Lumley floating around on instagram saying that she never looks inward as a person, because we’re all dull. If you know what I’m talking about can someone explain why it’s being shared almost as though it’s in some way positive?

🎶it’s the most sinister time of the year🎶
