I make things out of wood. I paint and draw too. I used to take pics for a living.

This is going to be my new pinned thread. Some of you may have seen this before, for which I apologise.
Previous paintings — the motivation is to get back to this and do more.
Let’s start with some portraits…

😉To all open-eyed skydivers here, I would like to share some great news:

🚨MAGA is slowly but surely imploding🚨

1) MTG and other GOPs voted with Dems to curtail #Shitler‘s power re NATO (see @kaitlincollins.bsky.social)🥳

2) Even GOPs are disgusted by #Shitler‘s post on Rob Reiner‘s murder🤮

Feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach. And I’m shivering. Fufuxache, I thought I’d dodged this one

We went from 12 to 2, but seeing as the short rib had been in the sous vide since 1pm yesterday, it seemed rude not to. Happy Birthday, Mum. I’ll save the rest for later 🥰

Bore da, you gorgeous madafakas 😘
It was lunch for 12 people for Mum’s birthday today. Unfortunately she’s picked up norovirus from somewhere and spent all night strapped to the commode 😬

Hopefully she’ll be right soon, and I won’t catch it either. She’s in solitary for the next few days. Hey ho 😬

Why arent Zuck and other Tech CEOs footing the bill?
They are the ones pushing for these data centers.
Why are these costs on every day working people?
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Did an emergency job for a friend today, who was quoted an insane £4600 to put a safety door at the top of the stairs for his ex wife, who has dementia.
Custom made 1.3m high door made, framing profiled to wonky walls. I didn’t charge 15% of that quote. I even assembled a shed in the back garden!

Oh look. The counter bid for Warner Brothers, which precisely no-one paying attention to the fire sale
of everything that is Trumps America, is Paramount, backed by David Ellison, son of Larry. Both big Trump sponsors.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.
No one’s held to account.
No one’s fallen on their sword.
No one’s got the guts to really speak out.
So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.
"The 2016 decision to exit the European Union has been nothing short of an economic disaster... It’s a bigger hit than if every bank, brokerage firm and hedge fund in London were suddenly to disappear." ~AA
👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA

What Musk really means is that if the EU was no more the power of the individual countries would diminish such that they would be unable to stand up to the likes of him & Trump.

Medvedev’s supportive reply is further proof Brexit is a Putin project

Musk‘s X has just been fined $140 mill by EU

Sack Sir Robbie Gibb from the BBC board
Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gi...
