Since I seem to be actually using this site I should probably introduce myself - I'm Andrew Pope, a cartoonist from Belfast. I'm 1/2 of monthly art night Belfast Comic Jam (with @oxeyedkathryn.bsky.social) & I currently run micropress outfit Local Colour Comics, putting out comics by myself & others

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

What happened to anyone who seriously threatened to reverse any part of the Thatcherite revolution? Who was it that enforced those penalties. There’s your answer, and there’s who is to blame.

The NI Justice Minister was questioned on the deployment of PSNI to London at the weekend. The glib response, lack of accountability and absence of strategy should sound alarm bells. We've included some of the Stormont transcript responses.

It is with revulsion that people from the North witnessed PSNI officers arrest peaceful anti-genocide protesters in London at the weekend. Proscribed loyalist paramilitaries continue operate unhind…

A lot of people grieve the years they lost to the first years of the pandemic, a time you had your entire life put on hold. Just imagine what it's like for Palestinians watching the calendar approaching 2 years of their people getting massacred daily. Imagine how absurdly long these 2 years feel.

My third "31 horror films in 31 days" podcast series begins tomorrow. It's called 31 Murders To Midnight and is available to subscribers of the patreon. I will talk about each film (or tv show or short, sorry) for 31 minutes. There will be five weekly episodes. It's good. patreon.com/sfultra
