You've Been Drawing on the Wrong Layer for Two Hours and Twenty Three Minutes: A Horror Story

If you can, please support Kei, they are *incredibly* talented!

In Doors of Eden on character mentions the human tendency to conflate confidence with reliability as the flaw that dooms us, and we’re sure as hell leaning into it these days.

Digital drawing in white ink against a dark purple background of a crowd of koi fish pressed up against each other with little room in between. The fish are drawn with feathery patterns and abstract shapes rather than being realistic.

Drawing of an angelic figure with large wings that take up most of the image and extend beyond the boundary of the drawing. The wings form layers of blue, pink, white, pink, blue to echo the design of the trans flag. The angel is a skeleton with a bird-like skull and one glowing pink eye and one glowing blue eye. They are holding a sword to their chest with the tip of the sword pointing toward the ground. Their feet are extended downward in such a way as to make it look as though they were floating. They are wearing a crown of pink and blue flowers on their head.

Digital drawing of a white cat sitting in a garden. There are layers of flowers echoing the blue, pink, and white colors of the trans flag. Blue hydrangea at top, pink roses, white snowdrops, pink daisies, and finally, small blue flowers among the grass at bottom.

Art piece of a digital painting of a tan and brown wren perched on the end of a gray stick among red poppies and green grass.

Hey, my prints are 35% off at the moment on inprnt! They really do produce lovely quality prints (and my art's not too shabby either.) Lots of different moods and themes to choose from!

www.inprnt.com/gallery/whis...

they're getting rid of everything physical- books, records, cds, games, etc etc so they can make you pay for the 'right' to access something instead of buying it, while they maintain total control over the thing itself

turning the entire world into the Company Store

the goal is everything being hosted Online, where people have to pay a fee to do anything, pure rent seeking all the way down

if that means they have to buy all the hard drives and video cards and ram on earth, then so be it

we're horseposting post your horses

Honestly, I really hate asking all the time, especially as people have helped out already, but I need food and I can't afford it without help.

All I really need is £20. Even just £10 would help me out.

Every time I see something like this I think about how the Tories cancelled the tidal lagoon project in Swansea Bay, which would have been online and generating power by now if they hadn't, and my vision goes red until my wife scrapes me off the ceiling.

Seeing an uptick in the number of writing scam accounts on here. I mean, they aren't subtle... if you go to their page, it's just them commenting something generic like "what genre do you write" on every writing post they can find to try to get someone to engage and offer their "services". Be aware👀

My hand wearing a brass signet ring with the words "done is better than perfect" etched on the surface

This ring has 137 favourites on Etsy and 2 sales, which is a hugely higher ratio than anything else in my shop. I'm curious why all those clicks don't convert to sales.

If anyone's got time to have a shufti and post their thoughts, I'd be super grateful!

The front of Portal Bookshop, with roadworks outside, barriers surrounding a big hole jutting right up to the narrow pavement, right where the wheelchair ramp usually sits

While we're open this week as normal, our wheelchair access is, well... fucked, to be blunt.

We're very sorry. In theory this gets cleared up and covered on Friday, but we'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, any locals, feel free to request home delivery by email or order notes on the website

A purple tote bag, bearing the cover design of Greer Stothers' book "Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs To Die"

The back of the purple tote bag, bearing the words "In which many DANGEROUS and HOMOSEXUAL things happen"

A pin badge for Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs To Die by Greer Stothers. The enamel pin features a medieval style blond man being attacked and stabbed by multiple knights and blue elves, with the words "Oh no!" in a medieval font in a speech bubble above him, in something of an understatement given the sword in his chest

A pile of the enamel pin badges described in the previous photo, looking delightful on their purple backing cards

We had about 20 tote bags and pins for Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs To Die arrive today!

So... one of each free with preorders until we run out, get in there :)
