I am figuring out drawing digitally on my ipad, and @cemurphy.bsky.social was showing me drawings she'd done from an amazing Lauren Ashley ref on @adorkastock.com and then i tried drawing her too, things got out out of hand and this happened! Im so happy! 😁❤️ 👑✨️👑✨️👑

My band is playing this trans benefit in Haringay tonight! Get in!

I don't remember not having a duvet, but I do remember that my room was so cold that ice would form on the inside of the window.

The PC is really old, but Ive got loads of software on it for old devices that I'm worried I won't be able to find again, or that won't work with a newer PC. :(

My PC that I use for writing at home is dying. I tried to just give up and do some leisure instead. The PlayStation in the living room is dying.

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax

Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

How do we kill AI? Like, actually slay it like the monster it is? How do we destroy it, and everyone responsible for it, so that there's nothing left? Hypothetically.

Just enjoyed reading @filmsonwax.bsky.social’s booklet essay on the use of Wagner and Orff in the Excalibur soundtrack and @johnreppion.bsky.social’s useful guide to the medieval origins of the film’s characters too.

Meg Mucklebones from Legend is, to my mind, the best onscreen river hag / witch of all time. She's the absolute best. I love her. Thinly disguised versions of her have cropped up in multiple things I have written and co-written over the years, and they will continue to do so!
