A poster hanging in a bookstore. The design is a modern reinterpretation of a tarot card, with a person pierced by ten swords doomscrolling their phone. The text reads “everything is fine”

I dabbled in the publishing industry back before my hair was purple and, being of a similar demographic, also had a bit of this. 😅

I think I also got the bonus variant once or twice, where people assumed I was a speaker at/organiser of the event. 🤷🏻‍♀️

like a BUNCH of people I have a little piece in this! I've been poking through the proof copy and ahh there's so much good stuff in it

RUN. RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS CONTEST.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This morning I woke up to find that I'd developed a migraine on top of my cold (which has gotten into my sinuses).

What a treat.

I've been able to shift the migraine through the magic of pharmaceuticals, thankfully, which does make the cold feel comparatively less dreadful. A thin silver lining!

I have been adding to this recently, there's over 150 assets (free or affordable) on here!

A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration. The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric.

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration.

I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking!

Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

The first episode of our new podcast, Folklore Matters, came out last Thursday, and we’ve got another ‘dropping’ - always wanted to say that - this Thursday. Pocket Casts seem to be slow in approving it but it’s available in all other podcast spots. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

I haven't had a proper cold in a while, which was something of a miracle in retrospect, but I'm now getting a very visceral reminder of how much they suck. 🤧

A photo that appears to have a "gettyimages" watermark but the watermark is actually painted directly on the bridge.

On the bright side, it's currently much harder for him to catch me and enact vengeance for my terrible jokes. 😄

I complimented my partner on his great bootie just now and got a very unimpressed look.

I guess the fractured foot contained within said walking bootie is making him cranky. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A post by Amythest, possibly from Tumblr. The five neurodivergent love languages: infodumping, parallel play, support swapping, Please Crush My Soul Back Into My Body, and "I found this cool rock/button/leaf/etc and thought you would like it."

Milton tangent complete, I am returning to my work on erased/struck out/obliterated inscriptions.

For many reasons they aren't the easiest things to locate in online catalogues. So if you come across any fun ones (esp. in books published prior to ~1750), here is a public request to think of me.

Oh dear.

Write all of the main content in Notepad and then move it into Word/PowerPoint to make it 'presentable'?

Every time I have to even briefly work on a corporate Windows machine I feel like I'm getting an insight into why so many big companies have glacial and terrible internal processes.
I honestly don't think I could do my job (document management) on those machines.
