I've only ever celebrated Thanksgiving once, when I was at uni and had a couple of American flatmates who were missing home. We watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles and cooked a turkey really badly, and it was genuinely one of the best days ever.

Posted a photo of the inside of my fridge on Instagram, and it turns out people are not on board with keeping bagels in there.

Used PostSnap to get some photos printed and now they've started sending me shameless guff like this trying to get me to generate awful AI art. So I won't be using them again.

That "Argos? They only sell toys!" advert is the most infuriating ad since "I didn't even know Oral-B made a toothpaste." NO ONE THINKS ARGOS ONLY SELLS TOYS.

Heard something properly lovely today. A mum told my wife that her little boy, who had never shown any interest in reading, came home from school and asked for a particular book for his birthday because the author had visited his school. Turned out the book was The Notwitches and the author was me.🥲

What I ADORE about The Smiths singles/LP artwork is that it's a mix of filtered stills of cult actors, political imagery or British pop culture icons.
Which means (without the need for AI), it's easy and fun to make your own.

Anyone ever bought this sort of thing for their window? I thought it would be a nice, quick festive thing to hang up. Over two hours later I'm still trying to untangle and fix it. I feel like I'm in the hardest ever round of the Krypton Factor.

A perfect example of how the Oscars criminally ignore comedies. Tell me John Candy didn't deserve a nomination.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.
