I've got a bunch of my sticker designs on sale now in a physical shop! If you're ever in Bridgwater, there's a cool lil shop called Minifigman studios. There's a bunch of other artists as well with their work on display!

So I've recently been trying to play No Mans Sky. I've had it for ages, just never really played it. I want to like it, but the storyline makes no sense or is so difficult to get into it's taking me out.
I know it's a super grindy game but I'm not sure I can get past the odd storytelling style.

I was SO tired after Zinezilla yesterday. It was busier than I expected. This shows just how much of an appetite Bristol has for these kinds of events. Had a few people ask about @pridecaf.bsky.social which was lovely, Nate and I are due for a chat soon about it.

As an addendum to my commissions post, I'm having an extremely hard time finding even part-time work in my local area, let alone full time work in my field.
It's a long shot, but I'm putting my credentials/training below, just in case anyone has any job leads I might be able to follow:

If someone in comics has expressed or shared transphobic views don't work with them, don't review or cover them, don't buy their comics, don't give them a platform, don't table them, don't publish them, don't go on their podcast, don't support them in any way. Just... don't.

Having that thing where I apply for something that asks me if I represent a minority and I shyly put my hand up and say "I'm bisexual and don't generally feel 'male'" and then instantly feel guilty as a cis-gendered white person who is very male presenting.

So I would love to make some progress toward my project that has a working title of "Plurals". It's intended to be a devised play and there is a lot about the project that I am scared about and a lot I am excited for.
I need to start working towards it but it just feels like a massive project.

Stories of monsters have always resonated with queer experiences of self-discovery, repression, and ultimate liberation. Join our chat with @letzoespoilyou.bsky.social about monsters, horrors and the growing community of monster romance. Expect themes of slightly raunchy monster chat.
