Following Sturgeon was always gonna be tough. But Yousad's downfall did feel quite rough. Swinney seemed to get job in a huge cloud of "eh it'll do"

I would be happy to card swap again if you wanted something from Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Capricorn: You will discover the one fatal flaw in your giant mecha suit today when you realize you forgot to put in a toilet.

The daily one panel format is part of the charm for me. Sometimes i get 2 or 3 days on the trot because I missed it but usually i am experiencing it "live"

But perhaps an Omnibus release every week as a supplementary thing or catchup for new readers wouldn't be a bad idea.

Aye

I’m with a Brazilian friend at a gathering full of Brazilians, and let’s just say the vibes are lit because Bolsonaro was arrested today

Yeah I got Vermis in February and it very much feels like it dropped out of a parallel universe.

I think there's a second volume as well now

Chriiiiiiiiiist

(Also TERFs can fuck off but you knew that already.)

I want to stat up Terrifying Cryptid Annette now

A collage of W.W. Denslow illustrations from the original The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book. Clockwise from top: the book cover featuring the Cowardly Lion; the Wicked Witch ready to strike Toto with her umbrella; Dorothy holding the empty bucket as the Wicked Witch dissolves after being doused with water; the first illustration of the Wicked Witch, wearing a tall, pointed hat, seated, with her hands upon the handle of her umbrella.

🧵 Before Hollywood turned her green, L. Frank Baum’s Wicked Witch of the West looked very different… & she appears only briefly in the 1900 book. 📚

two cartoon characters are standing next to each other and one has a purple hat on Alt: two cartoon characters are standing next to each other - Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole - grinning with golden teeth Secret Squirrel is a brown squirrel in a grey trenchcoat with a large purple & black hat covers the top half of his head (though his yellow eyes are visible through the brim) Morocco Mole is a dark grey mole with a red top, red fez and black sunglasses

Involved in two secret santa #Warhammer projects this year- one UK wide & one a Scottish #Bruhammer specific one.

One complete and the other is part way through. Should be able to wrap up and send both early December.

No pics for obvious reasons - IT SUPER SEKRIT

Anyone else here doing similar?

It was inexplicably a song on the computer game Donkey Konga 😄

The most charitable reading of @heraldscotland.bsky.social naming For Women Scotland's win in the Supreme Court as their "Campaign of the Year" is that the award is for campaigning success, not a judgement on any moral good done. Yet that flies in the face of every previous award in this category.

A photograph of For Women Scotland receiving the Campaign of the Year award at the Herald Scottish Politician of the Year event on 20th November 2025.

These people campaigned for and delivered a situation in which any woman who doesn't look feminine enough and any man who doesn't look masculine enough is likely to be challenged, sometimes violently, when simply going to the toilet in a public place. And we're throwing fucking flowers? Seriously?

A more obscure part of their ouevre but an absolute banger

Trans day fo remembrance

Today we remember all those who have lost their lives for being who they are.

Today and every day we stand with trans people as we work to build a more inclusive, welcoming Scotland. 🏳️‍⚧️

The post and the blocked quote post.

I mean being charitable its the political campaign group that achieved the biggest tangible change to Scotland this year. If you run on Time Person of the Year style rules where its not a compliment exactly but just a statement of the center of gravity then, yeah, there's an argument

But

You know

OK that was real quick. 😄 i am guessing I am not the only one in their mentions suggesting this not their finest hour.

The Herald announcing this ON TRANS DAY OF REMEMBRANCE is a hell of a fucking look

Section 28, obviously. But you will appreciate a typo or two slips in when this thread required a few goes.

I can't offer any special insight - basic bitch white middle class cis-het male, remember? But i want to help and I want you to have some of my thoughts on this day when you probably have some friends you made along the way who aren't with us anymore.

So today I give my regards to the Trans community, whose biggest crimes against me are that @shroudofdusk.bsky.social can beat me at Magic with her eyes closed; and @jewelknightjess.com, @mxhollyclara.bsky.social and @sheroqueer.com
paint so much better than me that its embarassing

I'm not dignifying this with Alt Text. Just know that JK Rowling in 13/03/24 took to X The Everything App (Everything Includes Fascism) and attempted to mock someone for saying the nazis persecuted trans people and burnt books about them, something which is a documented fact but Ol' Jowling thinks "might've been a fever dream"

Because what's the alternative?

I can't end up like Jowling Kowling Rowling (© @soozuk.bsky.social) where it appears to be "deny the destruction of the Institute for Sexual Science happened in 1933, two years before the Nuremberg Race Laws, and sue someone for calling you a Holocaust denier"

Because Trans people are one of those groups who have suffered so much, the sacrifical lamb all too many people have thrown out because Hey, It's Not That Big A Deal! It's Worth It In The Long Run.

At some point one has to pick a side, and I'd like the non fascist adjacent one please

So yeah, I can't do much- I'm an unemployed guy with a wonky eye and a high dose of antidepressants.

But i can still write a poncy letter to Private Eye and moan to Ian Hislop that whoever he let write about how the BBC is instituionslly captured by Big Trans needs a fucking talking to.

Yellow, black and white poster from the Nazi party. A doctor in white coat is standing behind a chair on which a disabled man - possibly blind? - is sitting. Text translates as follows "This person who suffers a hereditary disease has a lifelong cost of 60,000 Reichsmarks to the National Community. Fellow German, that is your money as well." Tell me that isn't something you'd fine in a Facebook comment

As someone who has had to reconsider himself as Disabled in recent years - and grapple with some internalised ableism - seeing some of the slogans and realising they are only a step or two removed from some Daily Mail comment pieces really hit me
