Hello!
It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business.
My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards.
I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing.

This is truly awful prose
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
This is unbelievable. Just a complete lack of belief in objectivity. And the BBC fucking caved to it
The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship
That ambivalent feeling when someone you don't like resigns (yay) but for the wrong reason (gah)

I am still waiting for my photos but expect the developers are busy at this time of year. I will see what are in the sales later on this month, and ought to buy more underclothes, also a pressure cooker. On Sunday I broke one of my spotted plates. Do you like the post card.
A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants
More coverage of OSU’s new restrictions on conference attendance:
“These conferences are open forums for us to present our work, network and collaborate. Telling us that they’re going to regulate whether or not we can participate feels very stifling, prohibitive,” said @ohdearz.bsky.social
Watching the greatest documentary ever made (Deep Purple: Rock Family Trees) and noting rhat David Coverdale is a powerful cross between Alan Partridge and Tori Amos.
And what a great tan!
These wretched shops, which blight our city centres, capture so many of the causes of our malaise: tax dodging, contempt for social obligations, unfair competition for those who do the right thing & the candification of public space.
Labour should go hard on this - and not just for the lost revenue
The great crime/achievement of BBC bosses is to give the impression that the only alternative to the old political parties is Farage. This matters, because what people want is shaped by what they perceive to be available.
I think it should not be beyond the wit of the BBC to employ a chief political correspondent with object permanence.
This is how "This side says X, but the other side says Y" balance ends up distorting journalism. Instead of being based on the journalist's own independent, impartial analysis this question really just ventriloquises a partisan opposition stance and gives the impression the BBC fully agrees with it.

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.
Pensive
This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.

It's a tricky award this year for the Spectator really. You see, Keir Starmer took his party from one of its worst results of all time to a landslide majority. Ed Davey multiplied his party's seats by a factor of 9. Nigel Farage put his party on the map in a way it hadn't been before. Who to pick

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂
Always struggle to accept Jeremy Clarkson is a real person and not someone designed to embody everything than annoys me.
What I'd like to hear from farmers and those supporting them is an alternative proposal. It seems few are willing to defend billionaires buying up farmland to avoid tax but want to protect smaller farms.
What's the best way to do that? Seems more useful than a protest.
You know who hasn't had this degree of media support for their financial interests? Disabled people, poor people with more than two kids, public sector workers (after all that clapping for the NHS). I'm not usually a 'blame the media' person but seriously - this is mad
