Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Just a few more days until the train pull. Total weight of the train & carriage is 14 tons, and I have to pull it 20 metres in under 60 seconds. I get 2 attempts, and there are 23 other competitors. If I can do it in under 30 seconds, I'll be happy. Nailing it in close to 20 seconds would be great.

The portal opens tomorrow… are you ready? We want horror stories up to 6,000 words, including flash. Originals and reprints. We pay $0.08 per word. Simultaneous submissions are accepted so long as you keep us informed. More details on our website (below).

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Now that it's the day after London Trans+ Pride, and I've had time to rest, I wanted to reiterate something. I'm kinda privileged when it comes to the trans experience. It was only this year that I realised being nonbinary put me under the umbrella. Being nonbinary is primarily an 1/4

And here we go. Final two strongman competitions of the year for me (because three is enough for my first full year competing). 14 ton steam train and carriage pull Then a full comp incl. timber carries, 240kg yoke, 22 ton train pull, and a chain drag (like a chain you'd attach to an anchor).

I haven't checked everyone who signed the letter, but I feel like this likely a case of millionaires who came from humble beginnings and never forgot that. Frankly, anyone against the idea of a wealth tax - especially when there are wealthy people saying 'do it, it's fair' - is on the wrong side.

In an open letter, 120 well-off Britons told Burnham: "We can afford it. We're not talking about higher taxes on those who get up and go to work for their income every day, but on the very richest whose income is derived from the wealth they hold." 👏👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel like people have forgotten that ad blockers weren't popular because people just wanted to get something for free, it's because we can't trust ads not to fuck up our computers. If we still just had quiet simple banner ads or sideboard ads, ad blockers wouldn't have gotten as much traction.

Busy times ahead. This weekend: I'll be marching at London Trans+ Pride. August: I'm competing in a Train Pull competition, plus hopefully attending a LondonFurs. September: I'm competing at Kent's Strongest Man. I'm gonna be physically broken by October XD
