Mama's Sleeping Angels on Steam A 1 to 4 player Y2K dream-exploration game. Free your imaginary friends trapped to eternal sleep by the goddess Mama. Collect cursed items and use weapons to face the monsters in Mama's dreams.

What if Friendslop was Girlslime Gendercore? Mama's Sleeping Angels is a TRIP. On the surface, kinda REPO/Lethal Company co-op. Explore dreams, collect cursed items.

The aesthetic & tone is a sensory assault of oneiric weirdness and subtext. Dream-things sometimes need shooting, sometimes smooching

Front cover to British Goblins (1880), a book of Welsh myth and folklore. Amongst the supernatural beings described are "Bwbachod", friendly goblins who help out with chores; and "Gwyllion", female fairies who haunt the mountain roads: https://buff.ly/3tjKPFI #StDavidsDay

The smell of newly printed book is a good part of why i buy so many books.

I think they're extremely tough to play without trusted buddies.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Nationally, Labour is losing twice as many voters to Greens and Lib Dems as they are to Reform. (John Curtice on BBC)

"what are you gonna do, vote for the Greens?" - Labour party heads moments before losing an election to the Green party.

One useful thing about a parliamentary democracy is the MPs can actually effect this sort of change. And they now must.

I'm sceptical Starmer believes in anything much. But my point is that i don't think his MPs all believe in them, and they should get rid of him and several of his key ministers so that they can change course.

These twats crying and appealing to racist conspiracy need to be mocked mercilessly and without pause.

It helps, i imagine, that Reform will offer the most loathsome, racist, conspiracy-peddling maniac they can find. The MAGA way, of course, but your Twitter reality probably does not translate to lived lives in South Wales or Manchester.

Jack Dorsey's Block cuts thousands of roles as it embraces AI The Twitter co-founder says he believes the majority of firms will make similar changes

2016: "learn to code lol"

2026: "we regret to inform you"

(Dorsey looks like the cult leader in an American prison drama.)

Love to see Reform squealing and crying, but i'd most like to see you actual government with a large majority start "pandering" to the demographic that got it elected. This should be the lesson. Progressive policy now, thanks.

Anything could happen from here, but Labour wiping themselves out after the Tories did so would be a remarkable thing.

To echo the sentiments of G.K. Chesterton, fairy tales do not tell children that monsters exist β€” because they know that already. But rather more importantly, fairy tales tell them (and us) that the monster can be killed. And such stories must never ever go out of fashion.

I tried to make it happen, but it's now stuck in contractual void.

I made this in a couple of hours and posted it a few days after another piece which I spent a full month on. While the latter got a pretty mute response and sold few prints, this little critter ended up being one of my most viral pieces. It's was a good lesson in learning to have no expectations
