Small wins are still wins.

I'm not at Thought Bubble this year, but my comics are up on my web shop if you're in the need of some vaguely historical farce or vaguely smutty superheroes (digital and physical copies of most titles are available, digital only to the US though I'm afraid)

Did the US Supreme Court say if they were going to hear challenges to equal marriage? I know it was supposed to happen on Friday but I've not seen anything either way if they did.

Very nice, if slightly rainy, afternoon shopping with the 14 year old. All the presents he needs to buy with me are bought, several present suggestions for him put forward and he was a bad influence on me to buy even more rings.

Also Lancaster without all the multicoloured lights and lasers.

Lancaster tonight for the lights festival. Busy as always, but it's always lovely.

Off up to Lancaster for the light festival tonight, which is kind our pre-Christmas tradition at this point. It's not specifically Christmassy but it feels very much like the start of winter.

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

@staceysparlour.bsky.social Thought you might be interested in the TMNT pjs thst Oddballs have just launched

We all like to joke about how terrible Word is and how painful formatting in it can be, but it is *nothing*, not even close, to how fucking dreadful PowerPoint is. I detest PowerPoint with all my heart.

I have come to the conclusion that WOW are fed up of people talking about series 7 of Drag Race being the worst one so they've made #DragRaceUK series 7 even worse to try and take some of the heat instead.

Actually, playing the game for charity does mean that it takes away some of the potential nastiness from the End Game. I don't want the celebrity version to replace the regular version, but it's been incredible in it's own different way. Fucking loved it #CelebrityTraitors

Oh my gods, Claudia's face. #CelebrityTraitors

Fucking TV moment of the year. Utterly fucking incredible #CelebrityTraitors

Oh. My. Fucking. God. #CelebrityTraitors

That absolutely shows that playing the game *too* carefully and tactically can make you look suspicious and cost you a win #CelebrityTraitors

Aww, Nick looked so sad before that vote. Absolutely didn't expect that vote though. #CelebrityTraitors

Was it pissing it down outside? That's surely the only reason to do the fire pit inside. #CelebrityTraitors

It amazes me that the set up of the final of the Traitors could so easily end up being a complete damp squib but regardless of the number Traitors and Faithfuls every single final has been brilliantly tense and not a foregone conclusion at all #CelebrityTraitors

Oooooh. Producers absolutely nailing it with the order they revealed their votes. #CelebrityTraitors

Ooh, is Joe going to fuck it up at the very last Round Table and hand it to the Traitors? #CelebrityTraitors

Joe opening and slamming the door immediately is one of the most relatable things the whole series #CelebrityTraitors

I think the final is clearly against the Traitors winning, but i do think they can do it. They'll have to be a bit lucky and really work to spread the doubt, but I'm not counting them out. If they do win I can't see them betraying each other either #CelebrityTraitors

Well, that made it very clear who they want to win this series, didn't it? #DragRaceUK

Why.... why aren't they doing a Christmas song for the lipsync? I mean, it's a great lipsync song and the first time this series they've both done a decent job, but it's an odd choice given the runway #DragRaceUK

Jesus, the desperate attempt to make Sellexa look like she wasn't clearly in thr bottom two. I don't understand why they're so desperate to push her as a contender. Possibly because they think she's the villain of the series and they need to keep her because of that #DragRaceUK

This Snatch Game format doesn't work. The moment Catrin and Paige were actually interacting they came to life, but everything else is so fucking flat #DragRaceUK

Fuck me, this is bad. Thank god for Bonnie and other Bonnie for having actual jokes. #DragRaceUK

Oh gods, Tayris doing a take on an obscure racist character and Bones talking about doing Snape is fucking depressing. This is going to be a fucking car crash, isn't it? #DragRaceUK

I dislike the reading challenge at the best of times, but this one is particularly painful. If those were the best reads I can't imagine how terrible the ones they cut were #DragRaceUK

Are they giving Sellexa a villain edit, or is she just a bitnof a cunt? #DragRaceUK

There we go, £350 for the Enterprise and a superb set of mini figs. Less than it could have been, but i still dont think I can afford it.

Saying that Mariah Carey is out of touch with the reality of working people is a little like criticising water for being wet. It really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone at this point.

I want to see the Lego Enterpise in real life before I decide if I want it, but that set of mini figs is brilliant. Especially the fact that Riker has his trombone and Data has Spot as well.

As you may already be aware I'm a bit of a history nerd and I particularly like reading biographies of women written by women. If anyone wants a recommendation from the books I've read, let me know.

The Idiot Twins are very intently watching the birds today.

I like that @bsky.app gives so many options for setting your own moderation levels but I do also wish they wouldn't assume we're all fragile flowers that must be protected at all costs rather than just letting us fuckkng decide ourselves.

Ok, I rather assumed that since I have my settings to show or warn before showing adult content that this wouldn't be a setting I have on, but turns out it is. The fact it's hidden under the Advanced settings means it's incredibly easy to miss too.

Ok, so Kylie may well have just cornered the Christmas club hit market with this one...

The cats are both a bit freaked out now (a few fireworks that were too close and too loud) but they've done pretty well, considering.

Fireworks are already going off a lot but the cats don't seem too fussed. That's possibly because the extractor fan in the kitchen is on so they can't hear the fireworks but I'm keeping an eye on them anyway

♥️🗽♥️

Ok, so the reporting here in the UK is just Mamdani, Prop 50 and the Governer elections in Virginia and New Jersey but what are the other significant election results in the US? The stuff that's less newsworthy outside the US but has potential for being big shifts within the country?

Remember a few years back when suddenly everyone on Twitter was role-playing being in a Hallmark Christmas movie and how it all got increasingly surreal and convoluted and absolutely fucking brilliant? That was fun, that was

Anthologies are hard to organise. By the way, my new comic is coming out very soon. It's an anthology, drawn and published and on the way to being printed. Check it out.

Hang on, so #ManchesterPride actually made money from the Village aspect of the weekend but that was all cancelled out by the vast losses from the Mayfield Depot nonsense that no-one ever wanted? Fuck me, just speaks volumes to the ineptitude of the people running it.

This is a cat who has had her tea but is also aware that I am in the process of making mashed potatoes and she is demanding her second tea accordingly. Gus was also waiting, but he's a lot more patient about it.

Wearing the Barbarella t-shirt i got in the Seattle science fiction museum at least twenty years ago (if not longer). It's definitely faded and has a few holes in it but it remains one of my favourites (and one of my favourite films too)

John Lewis there with a very confusing mix of horror story filming techniques, tragic drama hugs and clearly filmed in the middle of the summer. What an odd advert

Dead Men Tell Tales is with the printer (The Mighty CPUK, all hail!) If you backed us and haven't filled out your survey yet - hurry up!
