It's almost time for Sequential Scotland, taking place this Saturday in Glasgow! Sequential Scotland is a celebration of independent and small press comics, with over 100 creators. Have you got your ticket yet? You can either buy online or buy at the door! 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sequential...

It’s nearly Sequential Scotland time! As I’ll be travelling with a tiny suitcase from stinky England and it’s a comics-focussed event, I won’t be bringing my full range. But I’m happy to take requests if you want to see anything in person! Browse everything here: www.emseeitch.com/shop

Drawing created by Danielle Koren, c.1979, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This drawing on scrap paper is very small, found among Edward Adamson’s files of personal correspondence which contain many cards & letters from individuals sent after release

If you can’t think of anything nice to say, I believe there’s a vacancy at The Spectator.

Should be pinned to the top of every single intercommunity argument about tactics. In particular: the people doing the kind of direct action work that other people like to fantasise about online are ABSOLUTELY not talking about it online, are you high? Doing the work > masturbatory discourse

Astrid@astridsramblings.bsky.social · 2d ago

One final take: The people doing the hard yards of effective work, whether grassroots activism, legal work or lobbying, do not talk much on here about it. Because it’s difficult, exhausting interpretations are too bad faith, and the other side can see your posts. Bluesky is not the real world.

If you'd like to show your support for my work and get a beautifully riso-printed physical copy of the comic, you can get that here: tomhumberstone.com/shop/just-work

You'll likely know @tomhumberstone.com from various things (his comic on the Luddites went large), but he's got a new one on the Gig Economy, couriers, the history of all that, specifics of exploitations and the fight against that. Read it, and spread it around. Strong. tomhumberstone.com/just-work

anecdotally, everyone I know who has managed to get an ADHD diagnosis - all of whom have had to scrape the money together to go privately because the waiting list is 18 years or some shit - have found the diagnosis and the meds generally life-changing. huge improvements in quality of life

can't stress enough this assault on neurodivergent people is fucking grim because of how difficult it is to get any kind of support if you're an adult. and that's not even including the hoops you have to jump through and frankly how western-centric it all is.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

Painting created by Muriel Lewis c.1968 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Part of a large body of work, this is one of several paintings which depict embracing couples, often suggesting furtive trysts where unease underlies the apparent romanticism

I don't know if it's the HRT or my mom's vampire genes but I often don't feel like I look 42 years old at all, until moments like this (finding one long white hair growing on my ear)

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

for the tribune, I wrote about the uk aids quilt display in my hometown of wakefield, examining its status as a great work of populist art (communal, genuinely anti-establishment) in the wake of the city’s newly elected populist-right reform council tribunemag.co.uk/2026/07/monu...

An exhibition of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt in Reform’s heartland captures the contrast between artistic and electoral populism.
