A photo of a Warhammer space marine model, the character is helmetless with a shaved head, and sorta looks like a cool butch lesbian.

Looking at the new Space Marine heads and I swear this is modelled after that cool 6 foot tall lesbian you meet at Pride.

The one who shows you her awesome tattoos and then tells you about her new art project making clay vaginas 🏳️‍🌈

Today, I discovered that I confuse the hell out of everyone in my BSL class. I skipped a class a few weeks ago, and everyone was asking where I was. But they kept switching between a series of pronouns?

I feel quite euphoric about it. It is nice to be a confusing git.

Fucking hell.

drawing of the three women from the starving saints in the pose of that anne hathaway twelfth night meme. A butch woman with light tan skin in the middle, head to the side being kissed by a blonde woman with a bleeding ear who is holding a sword. a sickly looking woman with short dark hair is resting her face on the back of the middle woman's shoulder and holding her hand around the sword, with honey dripping from it. each has a bee on them, and their heads have yellow halos behind them. the art is a sketchy style and muted red/browns and bright yellow.

4 panel comic:

Panel 1: momo and forg are under the covers. Momo says “good night forg” forg just replies “yes”
Panel 2: momo looks out of the window and sees the moon.  He cheerfully says “good night moon” and the moon replies “night bud”
Panel 3: now they both say “thanks for everything, bed” and from off panel something replies “no worries”
Panel 4: we see now that it’s the actual bed who replied. He has a little smiley face. He says “it’s a living” Momo and forg smile

Foreground - the rough bark of a Scottish pin stretches up the left side of the photo, a motley of purplish hues from some heather spreads back until the ground drops away to expose a misty woodland.

A lino print featuring a blank cat with bags under their eyes, the pupils are partially dilated and they have a profound sadness to their look of worry. The cat is encircled in a series of rustic circular lines reminiscent of their eye bags. The cat is at the centre of this. 

Surround the lino is a glass desk, a black keyboard, a lino cutting tool, and a grey Sharpie pen.

Did this as self-soothing exercise, our neighbour is having their fencing replaced this weekend after it nearly fell over in the storm, my cat is going stir crazy because he'll be eaten by their rude dog if he leaves the house. I call it 'No Outs'.
