I am being judged for the fact there is a drizzle, A DRIZZLE, and I am not switching it off. Scampi is very offended by my lack of action and is now staring morosely out at the hint of dampness. It is an affront.
Dreamt last night that on a whim I got a train from Glasgow to a city in Yugoslavia. Not Serbia, or Slovenia or any of the countries that exist now, Yugoslavia. Apparently trains run directly there from Glasgow and into the past. It was bloody excellent though, the city was fantastical!
The worst is when you don't understand it yourself, when you develop a chronic illness and suddenly things that seemed easy (keeping the house tidy, keeping yourself clean) are like a mountain in front of you. It's just so difficult to comprehend and adjust.
I don't think people quite understand chronic illness, what it's like to "wake up tired" but still have a million things to do. Deciding where to invest your energy as you're operating on 20% of what everyone else has. Even the most basic stuff like washing yourself or making a meal is draining.

Watched Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and am so angry that they left out a crucial element of the original text.

This one DOES hurt. A genuinely sad loss. His cinema productions during the Covid pandemic with Bryan Brown, Hugo Weaving etc were absolute joy. They made me laugh during a very dark time. He seemed like a lovely man 💔
RIP Sam Neill Damn this one hurts. Grew up on his films and Jurassic Park is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Also just a genuinely nice person by all accounts. RIP legend 💔
With immeasurable sadness I must announce that Napoleon, our best boy, went missing a few nights back. if you see a small black kitty with two white toes around Boundary/Markhouse roads in #walthamstow do DM me. if i post no photos of him anymore, this will be why. he was my very best boy 💔
Keep an eye out for this, mark it on your calendar! Anna is a goddamn delight 🔥🔥🔥
Aaahhhhhhh, I can finally confirm my pun-riddled fantasy heist is coming to life! Expect ridiculous heists, excellent tailoring, terrible jokes, and high stakes. 9 months and counting, baby!
Ooft looks like a thunderstorm is incoming on the ceremony, everything has gotten very dark, the rain has begun. Is this the big man weighing in? Stay tuned for possible smiting!

Schism is a go - the SSPX livestream has started. They’re going through with it, even after the pope’s final warning.
Sanity has returned with normal temperatures of 21 here, instead of the 34 nonsense of the past couple of days. #NormalServiceHasResumed

Not sure I can think of 10 but (imo) definitely include 1. Stephanie Meyer: The Twilight books (to me) were the biggest pile of shite ever (never been a fan of vampires as a romantic/erotic read. I like my vampires feral, and horrific), they are an insult to the sexy vampire genre. 1/?
Introduce yourself with 10 contemporary writers you can't fucking stand, I'll start. 1. B[is bundled violently offstage, sounds of muffled pounding are heard from the wings]
Grab a friend. Go on an adventure. Be reminded that the world is so big and so beautiful and we are but very small parts of it.
A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow
Glasgow now, there is no place in Scotland for racism or fascism.

I didn’t really draw anything for The Mando and Grogu because I thought people might be a bit sick of Star Wars. i have been asked to produce something so how about a very limited run of A3 Razor Crests? Does anyone want this?
Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
