Fakes Tom, Fakes Tom, they're all Fakes Tom...

Just follow him around with a camera all day and sell it as the Irish version of I Think You Should Leave

Bill Oddie, what a lovely bloke. He wrote us a letter when we started making The Young Ones, wishing us the very best, and warning us against interference from higher up. He didn’t know anyone in the cast personally. It just came out of the blue. Lovely thing to do.

Wrote two lines of Javascript to make news websites actually look like what they *feel* like to me

This is a thing of beauty.

Botticelli's Birth of Grotbags. PeriFeral Imps making-of video, with very silly sound effects, here: www.facebook.com/share/v/18nb...

This is amazing.

Backstory, from earlier this week: We need to talk about Grotbags. For my PeriFeral Imps polymer clay atrocities, I normally take nostalgic characters designed to be cute, and make them monstrous. This time, I've done the opposite...

...I've depicted Grotbags as the most beautiful archetypal Goddess, emerging from a shell in all her curvy, green, grinning glory. Editing the creation video now. Watch this space.

...In 1980s culture, what could be more grotesque and terrifying than a grumpy, middle-aged woman with rounded edges? I'm grotesque in many ways, but not because I'm one of those. For this reason, my current polymer clay project has been "Botticelli's Birth of Grotbags"...

There is a certain sense of achievement in being added to a mystifying block list.

never thought of it like that but you're right - each day becomes one to endure, hunkered down in our cave, maybe by 9pm we can open the curtains Don't like to wish life away but July 2026/COVID both draaaagged on & I just want(ed) them over

Not sure exactly how to phrase or express this, but has anyone found that scary heatwave time moves a lot like covid lockdown time did?

A moment outside Aldi earlier. The fizzy strawberry laces Tiny Niece picked as her treat had a whimsical note on the back that said "NOT SUITABLE FOR GROWN UPS", and she got worried, as she's very literal. I reassured her: "I'm not a grown-up, just a child that got old."

...Elon Musk is simultaneously the richest and most insecure man in the world. He wants people to think he's cool, especially his former women and children, but mostly boys and men, whilst emotionally and socially stumbling over in clown trousers, high on ket, and being desperately unhappy.

...I flipped the script in recent years, and realised that they always wanted *me* to need their approval, because *they* need that to feel something. It's patriarchal. It was always the case. I feel so much better just accepting my ludicrous self with no caveats. I don't need it from anyone...

I don't know if cis men have this, but as someone whose factory settings are vagina and female upbringing, I realise I spent the majority of my life needing approval from male people who would rarely give it, mainly partners and friends, sometimes even hostile strangers...

You don't even remember installing Microsoft Project, do you? 😆
