Just struck me that this is essentially an Earthforce panel

I’ve posted an update on the Generation Mechs orders situation on Instagram and it’s too long to reproduce here (translation: I am busy and lazy). Head over to j.roberts332, it’s the latest post

Welp, it’s time to publish this:

Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself.

I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”.

You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

Don’t worry, he distanced himself from Glinner early on; his lack of support earned him a firm place on Glinner’s (ever-lengthening) haters list (he was one of the people a “vindicated” Glinner emailed to berate after the Supreme Court ruling)

Absolutely *broke* me, and I’m sure it would have done even if my eldest hadn’t flown the nest earlier this year

YouTube video by The Divine Comedy (Official) The Divine Comedy - Invisible Thread

Crafty friends The Divine Comedy have the most wonderful new song Invisible Thread. It’s lovely but also I’m in bits now. youtu.be/5VXSQQ5YDIU?...

Please!

I’m sorely, sorely tempted, and I do miss being in the league, but regretfully I’m not confident I can give it the attention it deserves. One day!

Maybe / probably one day, but I don’t know when. The hardback will be in plentiful supply now, it’s just when it sells out I won’t do another hardback

I don’t mind you using the books email - go ahead

I promise I’ll never back down on either

I did a birthday present to myself: a video essay about the two versions of Star Saber and how interesting they actually are when compared to one another, and how they make an accidentally perfect dark mirror of the other!

Also is it gauche to tag @jroberts332.bsky.social,

It is not gauche. I’ll try to have a look and will RT in the meantime. My portrayal of Star Saber is the least popular aspect of MTMTE, so maybe this will turn the tide haha

When the books are available I’ll post details on here and other platforms, but basically you
email me and I’ll provide you with more detailed instructions

"Every single person in my store is supportive and accepting of who I am, including my boss, the other managers, and every colleague in every part of the store. At times my workplace is the only safe space in my life which is a bit sad."

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Graham

She’s an Irish national. Is No 10 going to make a similar threat to everyone outside Britain who supports PA?

The recent publication of Generation Mechs by @jroberts332.bsky.social has reminded me of the work I started on this reissue of some of the best bits of my 90s Transformers Fanzine. Originally I was going to do this as a printed zine but so far the page count is close to 80+ pages which would make…

That’s good to hear!

Generation Mechs update: I want to solicit orders ASAP. I’ll be sending the books out in bespoke card packaging for extra protection; I’m waiting for the supplier to send a sample so I can calculate precise shipping costs. After that I’ll make a noise on here and other platforms

I look manic

Aw, cheers pal. I enjoyed our chat

Thanks so much, Dave

Haha! Yes, that’s me. I created that account to promote my wares, assuming (correctly, as it turned out) that there were people on there who weren’t on other platforms. (Thanks for the compliments, too 😉)

Hope you like it!

It was lovely to meet you!
