Sorry to hear Rowan is going through this difficult time - if it’s any consolation Einstein bounced back quickly and hasn’t seemed to miss what they took

Who knew a dog could be so useful?

Happy National Collie Day (US)! There are loads of collies in our lives, but the most recent one is fictional

If you wanted to see a Very Good Dog getting a treat, this would be the ideal way to do it - through Bristol’s Camera Obscura

And last of all we caught up with the brilliant @etheringtonbros.bsky.social - as far as we know the only other writer/artist sibling duo? They were SO encouraging and helpful to us right from the start, there’s nothing like @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for seeing old friends 🤗

We had a good catch up with CCIC - @karriefransman.bsky.social @myfanwytristram.bsky.social , @streakofpith.bsky.social & @zaraslattery.bsky.social then went to ‘The Revolution Will Be Sequentialised’ panel which was inspiring and encouraging ✊

We met @nedhartley.com in real life for the first time, fangirled about Bananaman and gently sneaking politics into the Beano

Even @britishlibrary.bsky.social were here, encouraging folk to draw and getting fabulous feedback from young readers like this:

We had a laugh with @cartoonkate.bsky.social who was here with her ingenious Jane Austen bio PATCHWORK

We hung out at the Graphic Novel Reading Room @gnrr.bsky.social and were lucky to get a comfy chair, it was so popular - if you want comics recommendations Gabi is the right person to ask

We enjoyed being table-neighbours with @firstgraphicnovel.bsky.social and met the lovely Alex Taylor who signed loads of his winning graphic novel BONE BROTH (available in all good bookshops …and presumably the bad one?)

Phew! What a big weekend we’ve had @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social with @selfmadehero.bsky.social! We’ve chatted to squillions of lovely people and enjoyed the bubbling and fizzing of creativity all around us

Last Saturday we took over a cotton mill, and subverted the workplace by filling it with music and art and drama - This Slavery came alive before our eyes…

Thank you SO much to every single person who took part in or attended Trouble At Mill yesterday - everyone had an absolute riot, and every single one of you played a vital role in bringing it about
November 9, 2025 at 5:49 PM
It’s all kicking off at Queen Street Mill Textile Museum Burnley, inc a huge steam engine, @commonerschoir.bsky.social, Clarion Choir, @jenniferballads.bsky.social, @jennyharper.bsky.social, Burnley Youth Theatre, Pendle Radicals and more. Tickets sold out weeks ago, but if you’ve got one flaunt it!

It’s Trouble At Mill day! We’re all ready for action, set-up went smoothly and we absolutely didn’t cause any drama or get into trouble 😬🔥

We can’t wait to see you all for a noisy riot later!

Today we’re journeying North to our ancestral homelands…

It’s *so good* to see to hopeful news from America, having become used to waking up to new horrors every morning.

Democracy, civil connectedness and voters can defeat fascism.

The future hasn’t been decided yet, we can change course by taking action 👏

Thank you Chris! We were recently reunited with ours, it looks suspiciously unread for its 38 years 😳
