People out there building incredibly professional Muppet-style puppets: you are artists, you are living your best lives, I love and cherish you, I envy your skill and dedication and work. (Yes I have been looking at high-quality Muppet replicas on etsy again; no I am not drunk. I just love Muppets.)

So, update on the Animal Crossing NVM project: hit 3-stars last week, had KK Slider visit, and unlocked a whole bunch of stuff (landscaping, hotel, Harv's island co-op, Brewster's cafe, gyroids, probably more I'm forgetting. Done a bunch of terraforming, but still need to do a bit more.

Celebrating 25 years married to my wonderful, fun, kind and silly husband today. I kind of can't believe it...here's to 25 more. ❤️ (If only I did not have a hideous cold and a cough which sounds like my lungs are full of sand 😭)

May be considering getting a second copy of ACNH to make a National Videogame Museum island on my partner's Switch so I don't have to reset my own island to make it. Technically I could use the same cartridge but then I can't transfer all the recipes, furniture, etc. over. I may be spiraling...

Y'ALL it has taken me way too long to upload these (my phone keeps logging me out of Bsky) but the Monument Valley model is finally on display and IT LOOKS SO GOOD!! It's one of my very favourite things in the museum now. Hugely grateful to @ustwogames.co.uk for allowing us to look after it. ❤️

Photograph of a large model of a level from the game Monument Valley in pink, coral, and light green. There are four small figures of Crows and one of the playable character, Ida. Five of the towers have turrets with onion-shaped swirled domes. The model is in a display case.Photograph of a large model of a level from the game Monument Valley in pink, coral, and light green.

As a dual citizen (for now), words can barely express the level of contempt I hold for Palantir and Peter Thiel. The NHS is troubled, thanks in part to >10 years of cuts, but a US-style system is not the solution; turning over all of our most private data to amoral, anti-human actors even less so.

Folks, our rubbish government have signed a £330 million government contract to sell our most sensitive healthcare data to Palantir, a company who have been exploiting vulnerable communities internationally - most recently working with ICE in the US. Take action! Write to your MP: tr.ee/4d82gg0BIN
