Just received my reward for helping to save Matt from hip-breakage! Recommend lending this kind of vital humanitarian aid. You get some fun crosswords to do and interesting stuff to read on paper with a real nice finish.
We waited 3 years for this moment. 🥹

I snagged a pink one of these on the last round and love it very much. Get yourself some art!
There’s something about the whole endeavour being replete with ritual, intention and care that I find very soothing.
The Howling Spark
Always such stories in Jon’s art.
Could the last word be “prow”?
A barbershop called “Eli’s Grooming”, except on the signage there is a half-open switchblade in front of the E and the M is made up of splayed scissors with another half-open switchblade crossing the scissor legs from below, so I get to wilfully misread it as “Veli’s Grooxxxing” every time and have a little giggle to myself.

Goodies from Hello Cloudy: A ceramic worry stone with a super cute cat face and flowers on it (for rubbing with your thumb to help calm down when you’ve got the horrors). There’s also a lovely little postcard with another cat hugging a bunch of brightly coloured flowers and a starry-eyed black cat face sticker.
Came home to happy mail from @hellocloudy.bsky.social ! Look at herrrrr she’s so good and most pleasing to the thumb! (La Poste held on to this for like two weeks for no reason and then sent me an “oops, we just noticed we’ve still got this, we’ll send it on now, merci” email lol)
A truly shit - and i mean truly shit - bird depicted in biro. Instead of legs, it has a long snake-like appendage with a garter on it. It looks a LOT like a dick, but thay was not intentional. I really cannot stress how shit the bird is.
It's Friday! That means it's time to channel your inner Dr Moreau and your outer Bob Ross and take part in #FRANIMALS!
Today I would like you to draw a budgerigarter snake. Lack of artistic skill is, if anything, a plus!
Here is my attempt:
Drawing of most of a bird with a snake body for its lower half. The snake part is curled around a branch. The bird half is supposed to be a budgie and the snake a garter snake.
Must be spring, this lad is clearly scouting for a nesting site. #FRANIMALS
This took me 12 hours, but I'm so proud of myself 😭
Witchy crows 🐦⬛
In a solidaristic sense I also don't think we should be defining ourselves as somehow not immigrants in this discussion. At the very least these cunts should have to say to my face why *I* don't have to worry. Explain yourselves clearly. Why would that be?
Mandatory unpaid work to be done by The Other, is it?
A very gentle 15 minutes. You even get to pick an outfit and see some other players running around in the space!
everyone should checkout Messenger by Abeto. it's a free browser game where ur just a little delivery kid on a little planet!

iffff anyone is looking for bar cover or whatever then I am very [LinkedIn voice] ✨open to work✨ this week and indeed next week. I am very good at pints and things like that, can talk about beer, work my absolute arse off etc
Here's a thread of relaxing fun websites to get away from the noise
1. This is sand dot com
Let the sand flow and create weird little landscapes
(this is one I did)

Doodles: Six little guys with oversized cakes/pastries for heads.
A comic strip in which a crow wakes up in a panic, only to later find out that it is not, in fact, an unprepared lawyer.
Just reminded of the Oglaf strip with the crow lawyer.
(One of the few safe for work strips, but the rest of the comics are very smutty.)
Mental health status: annoyed, nay aggravated, by laws of nature such as the sun glinting off windows as I go by on the bus and that thing where if someone is coming towards you on the pavement, you will unerringly meet at the narrowest point, even if it’s the only narrow point in the whole road.
it’s me with the impossibly long left thigh
A super rough sketch of me, a fat woman with short curly hair sitting on a couch, legs stretched out and one crossed over the other. The entire rest of the page is full of my actual thoughts as I sat there, except in my head they weren’t separated out like this, many overlapped. One of them is just the words “darning mushroom” circled. Some of the other thoughts: “/Your love is my love and my love is your love/ Repeat ad nauseam” “What time does the bookshop open, can I go get the book before breakfast?” “Dangit, just, calm, be here, look at the trees and the birds Ha, the ‘birds’ are just pigeons well “just” pigeons wood pigeons, I actually think I prefer the city pigeons, more colourful Some of them are actually stunning, so shiny” “Should I drink a small glass of water before I drink this Swedish blueberry tea I’ve made myself? Actually it would probably be a good idea to always start the day with some water. But what of if I get bored of water?” “I don’t actually understand what the counsellor meant by “relaxing” if this isn’t it Thoughts don’t just stop, so they?”
A relaxed Sunday morning (self-portrait with thoughts)
I’m the kind of stressed where I can’t seem to sit down and just do the (v simple) work thing. Which then stresses me more. My hair hurts. I cannot deal with the betrayal of a false autumn, is what I’m saying.
Ferociously co-signing this. Hazel has worn many hats, but the constant in it all has been her wonderful writing—about the hats, what it’s like to wear them, how they’re made and how they go with the rest of the outfit, to belabour the metaphor somewhat. [only somewhat? -ed.]
I know rationally you know this situation isn’t on you but on the lying liars who lied. I’m so sorry they’re putting you through those feelings and that stress.
LRT: this has been made especially obvious to me when trying to get any kind of mental health help through the much-vaunted Employee Assistance Program.
