...is a Coat-Enabling Enthusiasm Goblin, apparently.

And fine with that 😎

Karla @krohde.bsky.social · 5h

Ooh. Immediate campaign to rename 'autistics' as 'enthusiasm goblins'.

Though I would argue the case for including Noble Enthusiasm Goblin as a subtype.

Yeah, ok; I realised that after I posted it but thought I'd keep up the pretence of being noble for a few minutes longer 😏

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

I started watching the video. I had to stop before a minute of it because argh.

Which is a mark of how well it does what it aims to do.

Well, until somebody gives you reason otherwise, your experience *is* what's normal. I suppose it's a kind of privilege to be aware that it's not a universal truth...?

When I teach the medical students I tell them to make their environment as quiet as possible. They all nod like they understand but then I point out that I can hear the projector fan, heating, and electric lights and they look at me like I'm mental.

Been a wonky year this year, emotionally, health wise, work wise & financially so it’s lovely to see that I’ve had a couple of lovely people purchasing prints of this, feels like I’m getting back on my feet. Getting more prints in soon. Visit nicktankard.co.uk for info. I also have an Etsy shop 👍🏻

A black pen in a crosshatch technique and printing ink applied with a rubber roller on white paper Illustration of a large Victorian house situated on a small island surrounded by a misty estuary. A track or causeway leads up the house, long damp grass and seaweed either side of it, cart tracks visible in the damp muddy track. The house has many dark windows, chimneys and a porch at the front of the building, it is tall and imposing and sits awkwardly in the landscape. A lone figure in a long coat stands in front of the house. A streaky grey sky above and a thin mist is rolling across the island. Atmospheric and eerie.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

This BBC Archive bit on a haunted nightclub in Sheffield in 1970 is a delight…but does anyone have more details on the spot and what it might be now (if anything)? Does it still have a spooky reputation? Relevant to all my interests!

As soon as you know it's by Hardy you know Disaster Will Ensue.

Just very boringly.

This is not unhinged.

Two pages to describe a character who is 28 and unmarried. And then it says 'in short, he was 28 and a bachelor'.

Yawns.
