Said better than I ever could.

For all of you guys running Stonetop campaigns, this is a GORGEOUS, illustrated history book that works wonderfully as a sourcebook for life and culture at the time

All those years of not going abroad for our holidays have paid off: some place hot and sunny has come to us!

@mariedansleslimbes.bsky.social sending you cooling thoughts 😭❄️

i just want people to be able to afford food and heating you fucking freak

Sooo I finally wrote a project introduction post for my upcoming Spoonie Bestiary collection (launching 16th June!) 👀 Turns out I was feeling weirdly anxious about sharing this project with everyone lol. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... #ArtistSupport #spoonie #ChronicPain #ChronicWarrior

absolutely gutting. persepolis was the first comic that showed me the things you can bring to light with the act of making comics

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

My favourite TTRPG classes: 1. Sticky-fingered trouble-finder with low self-preservation and a short stick. 2. Cheerful door-to-door penny-dreadful zine salesperson without a stick. 3. The morale compass with a stick. 4. Sleek facilitator with a boom-stick. 5. Taciturn team dad with launching stick.

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it: 57. 58. 59. A sigh... The bus was meant to be here 6 minutes ago, counting the seconds in anticipation is getting old.

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it: Moments grew to minutes as they trudged slowly by, and there was no way of knowing how many they would be, and nothing to do but watch them.

Just want to say how much more accessible reading random scottish history books has become to me after reading this. What's a byre? No longer is my mind going to check wiki for a five word summary i won't retain, now the gorgeous illustration from this book comes to mind. Same for other words. ❤️

A lucet fork is a tool dating back to the Viking & Medieval periods, when it was used to create cords that were used on clothing or to hang items from belts. Lucet cord is square, strong, and slightly springy. I'm using my tiny lucet to make a draw string for the sweater I'm currently #knitting.

I deeply agree that I want more people from the RPG world working with mainstream publishers. I don't want to frame it as something people can just decide to to. Working with a large corporation is always a situation where the artist has very little control over what happens.

Cool little thing: the way the little black dots at the edge of the bus window cast a shadow

Noting for clarity that a lot of people working in software, including software engineers and designers, have a bad understanding of the software design process.

On Sunday I helped unveil an inspiring Women Life Freedom mural in Edinburgh, honouring the courage of the Iranian people who have stood up against decades of mass arrests, killings, censorship and repression by a brutal regime. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2589745... @edinburghgreens.bsky.social

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

How I arrived on Bluesky.

I'm 38, I grew up with a Labour party that abolished section 28 when I was at school, introduced the minimum wage so I could get paid properly when I went to work and set up Sure Start that helped my younger siblings. Now look at them. That's the betrayal.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

📺 The STV News at Six North programme is currently broadcast from Aberdeen but Ofcom has said it is minded to allow STV to move presentation from Aberdeen to Glasgow. 🗓️ The consultation closes on 9th February 2026. Once it's gone, it's gone. 🔗 ofcom.savestvnorth.com/ 2/2

The government's Joint Intelligence Committee identified 6 ecosystems critical to our national security. All 6 face collapse, starting as early as 2030. Every time we roll back environmental protections or delay action, the future costs get higher and the damage more severe.

The amount of big name software that would benefit from being in "maintenance mode" only - allowing users to perfect their workflows and software knowledge. But this would require big tech to admit to their product's economical maturity, which I understand they don't want for some reason?

Reminiscing about doing watercolour and linework for the "Fearsome Foes & Fables" @crowlandwrites.bsky.social released on Pathfinder Infinite. Crazy to think that was only 4 years ago.

every time adobe does stupid bullshit people come out in droves to post a list of software alternatives that only maybe have 1 or 2 basic functions in common, and it always reminds me of a kid's cookbook i had that said "why toast marshmallows over a campfire when you can dip cupcakes in sprinkles?"

This is amazing and not Al: youtu.be/ovzoNbUkg6k?...

Have found tumblr user probablyday's #woosterposting series. In shock

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

A Big Mooncake for a Little Star by Grace Lin explains the phases of the moon in a witty, sweet and quietly joyful way. Inspired by the Chinese Autumn Moon Festival and its central food - the mooncake - it focuses on the loving relationship between mother and daughter.

Wishing everyone a cosy day full of light and laughter as Christmas night washes across the timezones.

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2

Happy cheese-eating singing horse ghost to all who celebrate.

This is a lovely review and shows the bit I love most about running a small Etsy shop for my art: Making peoples' day with my drawings feels great. ❤️🫶 natrowlandart.etsy.com/listing/7303...

someone said "I want to be able to draw but I didn't want to learn anatomy." The desire to draw is your catalyst towards learning more about the world around you so that you may replicate it. It's not just anatomy but geology, botany, zoology, meterology, everything you learn helps you draw better

I tried to do the lifted chin Frieren and i Fell Into A Trap. Oh well. Good fun still 🫶 Oh. Oh. Bluesky wants a content warning on this one. 😭😭

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I like to write a short story ~800 words that sets up the character's premise going into the adventure... There's no time to build something big and extravagant, but you can get the first domino to fall. And I reread it to remind myself of the character's voice after a long gap between sessions.
