I will admit that learning the concepts surrounding grammar were the hardest parts of it as a native English speaker! European non-native French speaking friends found that less daunting. I found Mandarin easier because of the comparative "lack" of grammar (conjugations).

I can use French functionally in France, but poorly. I don't think it's that dramatically different from Spanish in terms of learning. Motivation and opportunities to use it vs knowledge of how you form connections with words/retain structures is the main thing that decides difficulty really.

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.

sticker up for immigrants f*ck reform

too many people i love are being victimized by nigel farage and i am going to mobilise the entire uk comics industry to fucking defeat him and protect myself, immigrants and refugees

our target is the 2026 local council elections. through targetted sticker and flyer campaigns i aim to destroy reform UK's momentum in vulnerable constituencies throughout the UK

I am organising direct action against Reform UK to fight against their racist misinformation. Posted more about it over on my insta, but here's the main bits!

Thermal linings for curtains then if you can, in a shit building everything is an uphill battle not to suffer 😵 luck to you

I think humidity can make a difference even when it's cold too 😅 One of my best purchases was a massive woollen blanket I keep on me whenever I'm home, that and a towelling dressing gown. If the windows are single glazed or poorly sealed, it's just a set-up for misery really 😵

A scenic view of a National Park landscape with a winding stone path leading through green hills and valleys under soft sunlight. In the centre of the image, bold black text on a red-and-black hazard-striped background reads: “DON’T WEAKEN NATIONAL PARK PROTECTIONS.” Below it, in white text, is the hashtag “#NationalParksMatter.”

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️

From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.

A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

It's wild that we still don't have a commonly accepted comic script format. Basically every script I get is different from the next, with varying levels of technical or layout issues. (But hey, we're all out here doing our best.)

Keep your letterer happy with these tips from @blambot.bsky.social 🥰

WE ARE FUNDED. Worrywart is happening! So yeah, prepare yourselves!

Anyway, I was very excited today to realise that it's now possible to book for a flu vaccine this year. Love being sneeze proof 💁

we really do need to worry about what Reform might to do to our medicines and vaccine regulation if they get into power

Oh nice, thanks for the link! Hope you get headspace to catch up with stuff 💃 also nice on the honorary Yorkshire title, that one's gonna be a real hard one to earn, esp from an actual miner 😆

Will we get "reviews" of these when you're done reading, or are you not interested in doing them? 🤏🤓 I'm an exceedingly slow reader, so opinions are always grand

A meter showing how many people have responded to the uk comics creator survey 2025. So far it’s at 289! The minimum target is 380 to be statistically representative, and 623 responded in 2020

Damn, look how many of you have filled in the survey in its first week! (Yes I *have* made a respondent-meter like it’s a village hall fundraiser - let me have my little whimsies)

If you have ten mins to join in the fun, the link is here: ukcomicscreators.org.uk

Also Anki decks with audio for word retention, but I come at it from a learning the language TO learn the language perspective; not just to be able to knock about and order food. Depends on how far you want to go!

Practice makes perfect for French (especially the grammar one) are a good book series if you're interested in those. They have really good explanations beyond anything I've ever seen in an app, especially for grammar and self teaching.

I've been able to find them by going on desktop/desktop mode and really specifically clicking the number of reviews that's like (###) SOMETIMES, but they're absolutely being obfuscated and just leaving the useless overall star rating.

This takes 10 mins or so to fill in. The data can help lead to more institutional support and grants for comic creators. A pretty good trade imo

Hivemind, anyone know any Leeds/Yorkshire based comic writers? It's for a fantastic project that the British Library has been working on with care experienced and looked after children in Leeds, making a comic about their experiences.

I would love to get some people down to support the launch.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
