Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

What the fuck why is it true that Starmer hit a delivery driver.

the petliner... yay

It's totally normal (and dare I say sexy) to crash out because Whatsapp (mobile), Whatsapp (desktop), Discord, and Instagram all fail to have a consistently functional call feature. Always one of them is breaking

probably one of my favourite illustrations I've drawn

I got myself a blind winder so I could get natural light in the early mornings to help me wake up. Anyway it's been a dark halflight cloud cover in Edinburgh for about 5 days, when I get out of bed at 9am it's still as dark as 7am and I'm so close to gnawing my arm off from the mood drops 🥲

Good morning. Let's fucking go.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

They u-turned on digital ID, maybe we can get them to U-turn on working with the company named after a device of incomprehensible evil from the lord of the rings

I turned a very bad misaligned etching into a nice halftone that I will then be putting through a letterpress

OMG what a delightful creature

If I ask you "how was your day?" and you respond 👍, and I ask "do you want to tell me about it" and you respond 👎, I know exactly what you want me to shove myself, and where.

... to all communications, and he was saying this indicated kids could only think in binary positive and negative emotions, so that's where they needed to be met at. It's just so absurd because any kid I know that reacts 👍 to a message with no other follow up is probably wishing suicide upon you.

Had this Instagram ad come up with some guy, mid 60s, talking about the kids mental health service he works at and their new toolkit to "expand 👍 and 👎" to help kids engage more with conversations around mental health. Thesis statement: all the kids his team works with just emoji react...

Anyway flat prices in Edinburgh are absurd. My old landlord bought the 1-bed probably for around £80k in 2005, and now it's work for £175-190k in 2025 (plus all the rent collected from it the last decade+)

... , and that the USA market might not even exist (in the way that it has) for much longer. Everyone doing business right now is hedging their bets between "Everyone goes back to how it was a decade ago" or "The world as we know it dies and a new age of fascism is born".

Talking with my dad about buying a flat in the seemingly distant but altogether fast approaching future. He mentioned catering more products to the USA market to pad up some savings, and I had to remind him that the USA just imposed *more* tariffs on the UK...
