I hope it's not terminal. I think probably not. I'm going to stick with optimism on this specific point

I .. Might need more UK/EU people to be buying my art... There are new customs rules/charges for US buyers that may be off-putting, due to someone deciding to elect a man who's worse than anything I could possibly have imagined once upon a time. I mean I'd like to hope it'll right itself. But.

YES! Stop letting fascist fucks define the terms of our national debate. Jimmy Kimmel last night did one of the best jobs at this of anyone in our media, and our Congressfolks have done at least as badly.

Throwing wide belly jars is really difficult for me to do but so satisfying. Just a little fat boy, nice and fresh.

Sort of mesmerised by the chart of most popular bluesky accounts for some reason

I just think more people should know about my cat

Coloured pencil ish drawing of my dad, craving the intricate coloured pencil feels, can’t quite find my way back to it

I loved Claudia Cardinale. She was dazzling, vivacious

Oh no I stayed up late enough to start seeing posts about Keir Starmer

Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.

Did you know the whole 'kissing the frog to transform him into a prince' is a later invention of translators? In the original, the princess gets pissed off with the frog who keeps asking to sleep in her bed & *hurls him against a wall* at which point he transforms. Not a kiss but attempted murder.

Would be nice to log onto bluesky or look at the news and not watch three major parties having a racism-off. But that’s the UK and its doom spiral for you.

If anyone’s interested, editors now prefer binary reviews - to generate online heat - and pressure their critic teams to deliver slatings or hymnings. A standard three star review (like this) will not get you much work as a freelancer, unless you’re happy to have it headlined as a pasting.

“this TV mess” is really odd phrasing, no?

I Think I Draw I Am (after Daniel Johnston)

Goldfinches love the forget-me-not seeds.

Of course the thing I *love* about the Beach Boys is that they were the kind of normie that goes so far in that direction it circles round to "weird as fuck". But they did need Dennis there to show them how to be a proper rock star, so the contrast is more obvious.

It’s time for Autism Hogan (I think perhaps he’s a good hogan who doesn’t exist in our own realm)

I Think I Draw I Am (after Daniel Johnston)

Catholic levels of shame are probably bad, but we're living in an era when people absolutely should feel some public shame for doing bad shit and just *don't*

Once a streamer got paid more than twice what i was paid in a year just to play the game I was working on and I'll never forget it.

Just for fun youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

This will be sort of obvious to most of you but THEY DONT FUCKING KNOW WHAT AUTISM *IS*

You’ll never guess what this is about #clickbait

My book "On Freedom," the case for the value of freedom and a proposal for a better future, with a new foreword accounting for where we are today, will be out in paperback October 28th. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

Yo - so unfortunately in this climate trad publishing doesn’t want us! If we write a Daily Tism book & start our own little publisher to put it out, say in time for next Christmas, who’d buy and read the living shit out of it?

Life drawings from last night. I wasn’t on top form physically or mentally but was glad I went, needed to get out of the house.

Dredge but if it had freshwater fishes from Argentina #fish #aquatic #art #dredgefanart #dredge #digitalart

Golly gosh and Christing hell

Oh no I'm being raptured
