It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Also.

A painting in acrylics of a leopard seal hunting a gentoo penguin. Both animals are underwater. The penguin is on the right side of the image, swimming towards te viewer and to the right, almost out of the frame. Behind it is the leopard seal, its mouth open, in hot pursuit. It has made a turn from the left to the right, so its body is in a curve upwards to the right. The bottom of the sea shows brownish green rocks and come rea grass. The water is drawk, with a slightly lighter surface, with lots of bubbles and foam.

Finished!

SKELETOR from Masters of the Universe.

Yes, I grew up with these cartoons!

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Ah shit, sorry to hear its disrupting plans too :/

Tired of hearing 'we need immigrants to staff the NHS & care homes' - as if we're a servant class.

Newsflash: immigrants do a variety of work, pay taxes, buy homes, raise families. Britain doesn't 'need us to serve'. We're here to live. Like you.
