An excellent and broad topic this year, which will no-doubt bring attention to some much-needed areas of discussions. Proposals are welcome from academics and comics creators! Find out all the info you need, here: comicsforum.org/2026/06/26/c...

I have written a short story, it’s called Lay Back and I would love for you to read it. Lay Back is dystopian fiction, about modern isolation and explores the deep flaws of capitalism. 🌳 Read it here: okaychloegreen.com/layback

The water yesterday was v choppy. The whole time I was in I was thinking how much I hated it. Swallowing water, it smashing into my ears. Then I get out and can’t wait to do it again?

Protip: Polishing elaborate concept designs for your comic isn't working on your comic. Drawing a page is working on your comic.

It’s always the guy with “Be kind” in his bio that’s a fucking arsehole.

“The use of generative AI in the creation of work is prohibited, and any entry found to be using AI within their creative process will be removed and banned from future entry”

The irony is not lost on me that twice I have been to a festival called Outbreak, and gotten sick from it.

Plz share this everywhere comic creators may lurk! Thank you!!

Outbreak done. I absolutely love hardcore. One singer talked about his experience of pregnancy loss, one read a piece in support of The Filton 24, lots of pro-Palestine chants, lots of love your friends, looks after each other, just all excellent people.

Had a v good and v hot first day of Outbreak. You can see the word “vegan kebab” reflected in my sunglasses, which is why I’m smiling so big.

A feast for your eyes! This wildly talented bunch of guests are set to descend upon Thought Bubble Comic Convention this November. Harrogate won't know what hit it! See the full guest list, so far: thoughtbubblefestival.com/guests And get your tickets: thoughtbubblefestival.com/tickets

Did my first proper open water swim today, 500m without stopping around a set course. Next week I’m going to try and do it twice 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

Saw a squirrel eating a pasty yesterday

when AI companies go bankrupt

Guess I’m officially a Manchester resident now.

Keeping up my tradition of being the first one to arrive at uni classes, by now being the first to arrive at my writing group.

Every so often I stumble across my cousin online, this time she was talking about how we all believe in wi-fi, but refuse to believe in telepathy. Really makes you think.

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

In all serious though, Keir Starmer is the reason I left the labour party. He is disgustingly Transphobic, he is a spineless supporter of genocide and a victimiser of migrants. And who's coming next? Someone exactly the same. Fartnoises.

Oh quitting your job when a summer heatwave is coming and the football is on? Maybe he was more like us than we ever thought.

Flakey

How do you find people on this app? I want to find people that talk about (good) books but it feels impossible

A good day to read my short story?

Saw this beer with your name on it

They’ve finally done it lads. They’ve finally invented umbrellas for men.

I read my work out loud in my writing group today, for the first time, and got some hearts and nice (and also very good and constructive) feedback. So that’s nice.

They're playing Björk in a cafe I'm trying to work in and I worry that it might cause me to die.

Scraggly update (with a Mushroom cameo, his best friend from down the road)

Hello! I am working on a full length novel, and soon I will be releasing the short story it is based on. It’s dystopian fiction, a little surreal, and maybe a little too close to reality for those who have worked mind-numbing desk jobs and fought the urge to run into the forest and never come back.

Stewards needed! Want to be part of Sequential Scotland this year? We're looking for six stewards to help in the delivery of the show. You'll be assisting the exhibitors and visitors, on the ticket desk and helping to manage crowds. More info opportunities.creativescotland.com/opportunity/...

A social media ban for kids is the wrong way to solve a problem. Akin to telling women to not wear headphones or travel alone. Social Media was where I found music, found comics, and manga, all the stuff I still love now. I grew up in the middle of no where and social media let me find myself.

This is what we like to see ✊🏾 And on top of this, Glasgow and Brighton also chased fascists out their cities today.

Saw some waves and mountains 🗻🌊

If I was a trillionaire I would simply kill myself.

What is it that’s stopping you from writing your novel?

“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

I’ve outlined the plans to make this into a full novel. Or novella? Let’s see.

Is it correct or not for Heated Rivalry, who's author is a straight cis-woman, to appear on suggested reading lists for Pride Month? Discuss.

Ended a v good and busy week off work with a v good swim. I am tired.

Still thinking about this excellent cover for A Kestrel for a Knave I saw in a French book shop. Should have got it, shouldn’t I?

What an artist. There can be few comics creators who have had a greater impact than Marjane Satrapi has.

Very sad to hear of the death of Marjane Satrapi. A true bad ass.

Here are some 1800+ year old olive trees.
