just learning now that there is a topps baseball card of the swarm of bees that delayed a dodgers/diamondbacks game last season. the ebay listing i grabbed this photo from is selling it for $150

just got added to this blocklist by some guy having a crash out over the cola vid lol bunch of other artists on there too, so good reminder for y’all to be careful what lists you sub to. personally I unsubbed from most of them except ai mod bc people can’t be trusted/there’s too many troll ones

How my evening has been.

Ah, Rats by @scarygorgon.bsky.social was both v good and surprisingly aspirational. Real taste of the forest floor. You'll believe a rat can try.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

The trade paperback of GOLDEN RAGE: MOTHER KNOWS BEST from me, @chrissywilliams.bsky.social @sofiedodgson.bsky.social @joamettegil.bsky.social @beccasee.bsky.social is out now in comic shops!! Will have copies at Thought Bubble too - Comixology Hall - B3.

Ah, so this is how they’ll get me. Shadowbanned for doing too many swears and bottom jokes. Cool, cool.

Oh no

So it’s a tradition that our first theme on the Gosh BF Drink and Draw Thought Bubble Special is that for round 1 we ask you to simply draw something that includes a thought bubble! You have until 8pm. Get drawing, chums! #GoshBFDD

You ever feel like you took "seize the means of production" a bit too personally and literally when you look at all the craft shit you own? (I think I need to donate some yarn when con season is over.)

Drawing a sheep. Thinking about how if I had been born a couple of centuries ago how central to my life these weird little guys would have been. And how virtually nonexistent they are in my current one.

Finished drawing such a cool drawing yesterday. But I can’t show you. It pains me.

As is usual in the UK, it is considered worse to *call* someone racist than to be racist. I have fallen out with MANY people (friends!) over the years about this. Folk who consider themselves unimpeachable, and go ballistic when you point out that something they did or said was kind of shitty.

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

Just pulled together the powerpoint for the “Olde Bokes” panel at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and WOW am I excited for this conversation with @scarygorgon.bsky.social , @mdpenman.bsky.social , @johnreppion.bsky.social , and @zaraslattery.bsky.social !! www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/ol...

Hi, wenn ihr Deutsch sprecht und euch für Videospiele interessiert, möchtet ihr vielleicht meinem Kollegen hier folgen. Er postet normalerweise auf TikTok, shared jetzt aber auch auf bsky 🩶

Drilling noises from next door all day again. It's like a constipated trombone is tooting at my wall for hours on end.

Weird to think there was a time in history where it was illegal to wear purple (unless you wore a crown for a living).

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off. The media landscape shrinks even further.

This was so good to work on. I sat and immersed myself in stuff about Pachuco culture and the history of the riots ahead of sitting at my drawing board. This just burned its way into my brain. Hope you all like it (and pre order it. Do that).

GOLDEN RAGE signing coming up @goshcomics.bsky.social at the end of the month with me & @sofiedodgson.bsky.social - please join us! Bring your grannies AND your babies!

Poor Tom did THIS to his finger while making the usually-very-popular #CroydonSpaceport Historical Maps & Guides last week - and then nobody even bought one at Winchester Comics Fair. 😱 If you'd like to right this terrible wrong, you can grab the #zine for a fiver at bit.ly/croydonspaceport 🚀

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

time for a little run before I murder someone :).

Why is it that in the comments section on recipes online there’s always someone who didn’t follow the recipe at all, tells you all about how they didn’t follow it, and is then giving the recipe writer a low score because the recipe didn’t come out right? ??????????

Last week at Broken Frontier… THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH interview! “I Cannot Wait to Really Dig into the Nuts and Bolts of Literary Adaptation” – @hellomizk.bsky.social on Bringing Chaucer to Comics and on Moderating the Thought Bubble Literary Adaptation Panel. www.brokenfrontier.com/kristen-haas...

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland. It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Who wants to fill out a questionnaire about running a Troika megadungeon in-person play campaign? It would be a HUGE HELP if you took 5 minutes and gave us some opinions. And an even BIGGER help if you shared this to whatever UK folks you know. forms.gle/Dq6KSqXqGscM...

What's it like to return to your home town years after leaving? This poem from Whatever You Do, Just Don't finds that nothing's changed. But then everything's changed too...

OUR NEXT EVENT IS NOVEMBER 30TH, SO IT'S TIME TO MEET OUR ARTISTS PT.2! Kayla Marok is an illustrator, animator and storyteller. Her work is eerie, playful and strangely nostalgic.

Panel guests include @scarygorgon.bsky.social , @mdpenman.bsky.social , @johnreppion.bsky.social and @zaraslattery.bsky.social . Based on our introductory zoom chat, it is going to be a LOT of fun! www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/ol...

Less than two weeks until @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and I’ve spent the weeknd excitedly preparing! I’ll be at Table C12a in the Comixology Hall and also hosting a Saturday panel on comics and medieval texts (SWOON). I’ll have copies of a new book and some other fun stuff for you, so say hello!

You ever just randomly remember how much of London is built on old graveyards and plague pits? Because I just did. Mass-grave-ass city.

Still flogging the dead horse of my folklore / folk horror starter pack. If you can't flog a dead horse this time of year, when can you?! UK & Ireland suggestions welcome. Who am I missing?

We’re heeeeeeere! Come and see us at Winchester Comics Fair at the Nutshell Centre until 4pm today. #WCF25 #comics #zines

Oh so we're going to give abusive users power to harass and shadowban people cool cool

I just received another shipment of piss bunnies! I all but sold out at MCM and was A Tad Worried I was going to disappoint a load of people at tubble this year. But my order has has arrived way ahead of schedule. Yay!

Maybe mention it to your mum and dad if they’re members too.

The Denver city park I work near is built on top of a Civil War graveyard which itself was on top of a Native American burial ground. Many remains had to be relocated in order to do construction at my workplace.
