OMG the lil noises. 😍

A little joy this morning Watch to the end

The tutor for my Welsh class has everyone chat in groups of 2-3 each week about something they each did the last week; then everyone talks in turn in the main session about something someone else did. Great practise, but also Tuesday evening terror as I try to remember *anything* I did last week.

Veronica is the best kind of people. She helps kittens in need! Now she needs some help. She & her fam have been living in a bus since their home burned down. They need some help getting the new house finished. Please take a look and donate if you can! Or share! #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2026

So, what, we're supposed to give our cats Irish Whiskey today? I am so confused.

We're having a Spring Cleaning Sale that starts tonight at 6PM GMT! We're listing a bunch of comics I've worked on (including very limited variant covers!), b-grade enamel pin mystery bags (lots of unavailable designs in the mix!) new prints and discounts on current stock! 👀✨

EXCLUSIVE - I've just been passed the latest copy from the Papua New Guinea Courier's USA correspondent. Subscribe to my Substack for more! mrhenrymorris.substack.com/p/the-latest...

Sounds ace

Ooooh:

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

I know, I know. Everyone is in desperate need right now, but our rescue needs some help paying vet bills. The benefit is, if you're in the US, our bills are in AUD and the exchange rate is very much in your favour! Please throw us $5? rescue-cats-safe-haven.mygiveeasy.com/this-is-our-...

Ooh, there are SO MANY great items in this literary auction (several of which I'm bidding on myself!), including signed books by @marthawells.com, @brynneweaver.bsky.social , & @veronicarothbooks.com , Zoom calls with agents, and lots more: www.32auctions.com/organization... #romancelandia

Including @patricksamphire.bsky.social's fabulously snarky and fun Shadow of a Dead God!

I've been living in a hotel since mid-2024, and I've finally found an apartment if I can come up with $2500 up front for the deposit + first month's rent.

It depends on my mood to be honest. My favourite is probably Troilus and Cressida, but the ones I enjoy the most are Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing.

This is who really owns Reform.

Maternal: Enlisted in the Royal Navy during WW2 then transferred to the Fleet Air Arm; later retired from the forces to became a civil servant. Paternal: General Post Office, then Royal Corps of Signals during the war, then back to the GPO and on into British Telecom when it got spun out in '81.

Gonna flip this. Maternal grandmother was a trainee nurse bored with life in County Mayo. Escaped by joining the British army in WW2. Ended the war as a Major. Paternal grandmother was Welsh. Also a nurse. Raised the kids on her own after my dad (then a teen) beat his own father up for abusing her

It's StoryBundle time! If you ever thought to yourself, "I wish I had 14 fantasy mystery novels and it only costs me $25", then your very specific wish has come true! storybundle.com/magic

It's World Book Day, and I do have books in the world, so, you know, I think you're legally required to buy them. I think that's how it works. patricksamphire.com/books

For anyone (like me) who needs a distraction from the state of the world, Smashwords have launched a "Read an Ebook Week" sale, with lots of books at varying discounts (including free): www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos

We'll be closing the store for the final week of March so I can recover from surgery, which means selling as much as we can now. Great time to buy something & force me to actually recover from surgery by not working! (hey I ADDED ALL THE DINOSAURS!) http://thebrokencirc...

Trying to match my upcoming TV watching to VidUKon vidshow themes. There's a bunch of shows I know I passed on checking out because by the time I wanted to they had already been cancelled. But with the Themed Premieres being "Unfinished Business", now is the perfect time to check some of those out!

I’m VJing a @vidukon.bsky.social show this year! The concept is space and place and how vidders use physical locations (both internal and external) to explore emotional and psychological affect - if you have vids you would like to recommend please throw my way! (Premieres welcome too)

In today's newsletter, we celebrate Wales on St. David's Day and explore how this magical land has influenced my art: theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/land-of-ca...

The Sprocker Spaniel Assist & Rescue's fund-raising auction is now live. I've donated a 1st edition copy of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FAERY TALE: a children's book by me (story), Wendy Froud (art), & Brian Froud (design), signed by all three of us. www.jumblebee.co.uk/sprockerassi... (Lot #73)

This is a fantastic thread of Welsh legends/art!

A question for any 19th century English lit scholars (please boost!): when were Lord Byron's letters to his wife first published? I haven't been able to find a specific date for those yet. (I'm assuming it must have been after her death in 1860, but I could be wrong even about that vague assumption)

Mini of the month - what’s wrong with you? Entry 5 by @garius.bsky.social Captain Haru Urara, 1st Heavy Recon Detachment. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

Leesha is an incredible cover artist! I adore both of the beautiful covers she created for me (Snowspelled & Thornbound), and she's also such a joy to work with - really thoughtful and responsive.

Here's an excellent, in-depth review of Tachyon's lastest collection of Patricia A. McKillip's short fiction. She is a writer whose entire body of work I consider essential reading -- but this volume is a good place to start if you don't know her work already. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

This is a good read on how the UK needs to adapt to a multi-party future.

Browsing is open on #FandomTrumpsHate and I am offering to vid 180 minutes of ANY video source (or even more if it's something I'm familiar with)! Here's my FTH offer: fth2026offerings.dreamwidth.org/342782.html Here are my familiar fandoms: naye.dreamwidth.org/2409250.html Bidding opens March 3!

Now that I’m thinking about Wes Streeting become PM and how disastrous that would be for everyone but especially for trans youth: maybe you could sling a few quid to my fundraising for Step Forward which provides support service to LGBTQIA+ youth* in Tower Hamlets?

A Star Trek: The Next Generation fanfic circulating by email on the university email system in 1993/4. I seem to remember at one point Data's severed head was mentally controlling a Borg cube?

In 1861 there were 11 Virginian colonels in the US Army. Robert E Lee was the ONLY one to join the Confederacy. In this week's Untitled History pod, @pptsapper.bsky.social and I talk about the Virginians who didn't turn traitor. Including George Thomas. Great general. Awesome hat-wearer. #history

Ooooo!!!

Hey y’all, times are a bit tough so if you want to support my archival work for Battletech or my modding for Mechwarrior 5, please consider supporting my Patreon (link below). It helps pay for when I buy hard-to-get old artwork and the software licenses www.patreon.com/CelestialMec...

If you're researching queer history in England, farm records might be one of the last places you'd check. Yet for #LGBTQHistoryMonth, @timjerrome.bsky.social shares how he's tracing queer histories within our farm archives, and gives tips for future research. merl.reading.ac.uk/news-and-vie...

Today is your final day to bid on The Books They Can't Burn charity auction, raising money to fight book bans! Check out all the amazing items: www.32auctions.com/organization... And bid on my Bookish Box edition of Wooing the Witch Queen: www.32auctions.com/organization... #romancelandia

Updated my FTH auction - I decided the "I will make a vid for 180 minutes of any video source" was stingy, so added a list on DW of almost 70 exceptions from that time limit. Turns out there are a lot of things I am very happy to vid for the highest bidder! Bids open on Friday and I am NERVOUS.
