We live in an era where an INCREDIBLE amount of high-quality media is being produced.

Paradoxically, we are individually consuming ever smaller slices of it.

I have a piece out in @theguardian.com today on how the internet is becoming a fully surveilled digital panopticon and why we need to fight back with everything we have

If you're really nice to your GM sometimes they give you a lovely present!

Teeth: Blood Cotillion with @pipgladwin.bsky.social, @emzywb.bsky.social, @fkth.bsky.social & @shamini.bsky.social is available on our YouTube Channel now!

Very funny but also is it time for my semi-annual tale of the time The Colbert Report sent an old sociologist and a gay art critic to the strip club I danced at to deduce whether or not stripping is an art form?

Oh no, this shouldn't exist

What a great end to this utterly wild two-shot! I don't think we have laughed so much in such a long time! Had an absolute blast!

You can take the demons and the daughters out of the Regency era but you can't take the natural pull towards the occult from the young Regency ladies.

This is just classic rich-person chat I'm pretty sure

Perfect meme use

Find the Blood Shrine

a man with glasses is holding a book with chinese characters on it Alt: That meme with a cartoon man gesturing at a yellow butterfly and no text

Regency-era...
Three young ladies...
Supernatural goings on...

(So far it's Very Much Not 😂)

You simply mustn’t forget about the shrine thing.

Tomorrow! Can our deadly ingenues find the Blood Shrine, destroy it, escape with their lives and maybe secure a marriage proposal along the way? Join us and find out!

Last week's episode was full of ladies in hysterics - namely us having a hilarious time playing regency heroines trying to bag a husband and assassinate occult evil!

Had a terrific time watching this lot tackle Blood Cotillion last night. There were dances, card games, strangulation with monkey feet - what more could you want at a summer ball? Someone got eaten by an owl! Demented stuff, 10/10. Can't wait for part 2!

'Smiling' fossil discovered in Northumberland The unusual looking fossil is estimated to be a few hundred million years old dating to the Carboniferous period.

my god right i KNOW it's a fossil i UNDERSTAND but it also CLEARLY DEMONIC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

EUphoria's signature navy blue background with yellow d4 stars and sparkles. EUphoria's logo in the top left, a round yellow frame with navy blue background, and a large shooting star made up of yellow d4s streaking from right to left, a yellow tail trailing behind. A large logo in the centre of frame - similar to the EUphoria logo, but with a lighter blue on the streaks of the comet's tail, a light blue broken circle orbiting the star, and two yellow d8s floating on that orbit. Text below, in a yellow-outlined white blocky font reads 'Coming May 2026' Bottom text reads 'supported by' next to a Moonshine Adventure Company logo, a sandy yellow moon draped in a purple banner bearing the words 'The Moonshine Adventure Co.' and surrounded by small stars.

It's real.

It's online, and it's European timezone friendly.

Get ready for a day of talks and panels, and a day of community games, all built from the ground up to be accessible, diverse, and to build community across borders!

Watership Down. Everyone is rabbits.

How about horror films with a really hard to replicate premise - like The Quiet Place? Or super atmospheric things like Midsommar, that would be ridiculous and wouldn't work at all.

How about well known children's stories but as an adult show. The Very Hungry Caterpillar for example.

There's me making dark and moody visuals for this two-shot and we all end up devolving into hysterics multiple times 😂

Coming soon: Fomoria – Epic Folk Horror Roleplaying Brave the Darkness, eat the heart of gods, and purge the filth of the Red Plague in a shifting subterranean world.

We're looking for a professional voice actor for Fomoria's trailer! Ideally, adult-senior voice range. If you are interested, or know someone who might, please drop me a message with your demo reel and your rates for 180-200 words.

More about the project here: fomoria.com

Thanks in advance!

A small figurine of a domestic dromedary in a museum.

A double humped domestic Bactrian camel.

TIL that camels have been domesticated for so many thousands of years that they have no living wild relatives.

There are no wild single-humped dromedaries and there are a few remaining wild Bactrian camels but they're not the same species as the domestic ones!

No unfortunate auto-correct errors to see here, everybody move along 😶
