No AI symbol

I made a simple symbol to show that something was made without AI. Yes to human creativity, no to generative AI. You can get the image files at notoai.xyz

Walking through Liverpool city centre on a Saturday night is... certainly something.

On holiday. New book.

Never been so excited about the idea of going home to eat some pasta and cuddle my dog

10 minutes left of tabling this market and I'm feeling insane. The playlist has had about 5 different bands on it istg

Bought a house we thought just needed a new paint job and a new fuse box, turns outs the place is dodgy diy held together with expanding foam and "the 2nd worst electrics" our electricians have seen in 30 years.

I've never understood why more people don't boycott Amazon. I just google the product name or search it on ebay, I don't think there's ever been something I couldn't find elsewhere in the 8 years since I last used it.

Took Sky to the lesbian bar closing party, and she got a hell of a lot of fuss from strangers and discovered BALLOONS! 🎈

I've got no deep takes I'm just deeply sad at what's going on politically right now

Thinking about the amount of time terfs have directly made my day worse (loads) even as a cis woman, versus the bad interactions I've had with trans people (zero). And how much the trans folks I know and love have enriched my life. Absolutely fuming at the wider harm terfs have created in this world

I loved this bar we went to tonight, the music was impeccable

finished making + setting up for riso print another new zine I made as part of my artists residency tonight. Learnt a bunch of new things in indesign and got my head around printing an A6 zine on A3 paper too, chuffed!

thought about just buying a covid jab for this winter but it costs £98.95 wtf. It's £21.95 for a flu jab.

This is incredible

The best medical waiting room I've been in is when my mum was having chemo donkeys ago. Cancer care really is treated differently, the whole place had comfy cosy seats and soft warm colours (I wonder if they're also all hard and grey now)

Sat in a outsourced-to-private medical waiting room. The chairs are fancy but there's barely any. I've had to put headphones in because there's a huge tv absolutely blaring travel advertisements. I hate ittt
