#Popculture is everywhere; you can’t move for a new superhero #film or major franchise appearing and we love it. You can't deny fan culture & #fandom are part of the world, but what does that mean & where did it come from? Good thing I wrote a #book about it!

Do you have a Google alert for your favourite band going on tour? Or maybe you have a pull list at your local comicbook shop?…

People are looking for hope and the Greens are bringing that hope with proper, thought out & well presented politics & policies. No, they won't win over everyone, but the people who are looking for help, hope and belief in this country that isn't hateful have found a home after years of feeling lost

The Green Party in England & Wales now has more members than the Conservative party (previously the most successful electoral force in British politics). Big things are happening!! join.greenparty.org.uk
The more I'm looking at the news with the Greens, it feels like we're going to see a battle between them and Reform at the next election. It's not the first time a new party has swung in from the left in the UK, and it's also not the first time the established parties have lost their position.

I have drawn art for multiple TTRPGs. I do it for a love of the game, because I feel like these games deserve illustration and I know how important it is for getting these games sold.

It also does not pay nearly well enough, and I can't blame my clients for it.

THIS INDUSTRY DOES NOT PAY WELL.
I think it should BECOME possible to work professionally on tabletop games.
Been working my poor little fingers to the bone today...
Still got some more to do with this bastard piece of cosplay BUT it is finally looking like something!

Omg the amount of slurs in one episode and all the women being called slags and whores. So eye opening.
I just remember them all having these MASSIVE computers and them being the most high tech stuff in the world. Someone in Prime Suspect just made a comment about the new ATM that's been set up and how exciting it is haha
Over the last few years I've been watching Silent Witness from the very beginning, starting in the 90s, & it's been an education in how the world's changed for SURE. I decided that I would like to watch another crime classic, Prime Suspect, today & omg it's staggering how the men in this show behave
Under capitalism...it did D;
I hate thiiiiiis! So much

Homemade Bara Brith has been added to this wholesome set up. First time making it and I'm proper proud.
Currently listening the lovely human & actor Michael Pitthan read Poe stories live on twitch on his new "bedtime stories" series. There is something about someone reading live that is so wonderful, especially when 200 odd people are watching from all around the world. Wholesome use of the Internet.

On the same day that a poll shows the Green Party in front of the Labour Party for the first time - it's time to take on Reform too.

When the president of the Society of American Travel Writers tells you he loves your writing style and you suddenly feel like you have the BIGGEST WRITING D*CK THE WORLD. What a lovely day.
Currently reading "The Making of Oliver Cromwell" by Ronald Hutton and I have learnt an awful lot about the river Ooze and its surrounds. Love a history book that goes into depth about not just the social and political world of a person but the natural one as well. Its very important.
Oh Mr Squirrel you so CHONK

Anyone still on X, get off now.
Look at what you’re funding.
To all you patriots (and UK authorities)

Is this not political interference of the most egregious and socially divisive kind?

Inspired by our previous episode on genres, we decide to chat today about a thing that happens, particularly in fan spaces. Flanderization is the process of a character being distilled to the point of removing many deeper aspects of their character.

I look forward to using my government-allotted “freedom time” to take part in my chosen government-approved protest. 😬
Not the most “I can definitely be trusted with power” kind of statement I’ve ever heard
Distracted from my editing by a forty-something year old man playing Tropico 6 on twitch. What has my life become?

Well. This is a doozy of a thread.
The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted.

von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵
It's a hot ribenna and reading about renaissance bohemian in bed kind of day while I recover from the burnout I caused myself.
