Magic fans will be please to know I played four games of my werewolf tribal deck and found the Day/Night transform/untranform mechanic to be the sort of unplayable jank I love. Won three games too which is nice.

Fellow Magic the Gathering players, I think it was bold of Innestrad Remastered to bring back Werewolves considering that Day/Night is backshit complicated and ordering “the beginning of upkeep” triggers is insane. #mtg

I drew this sketch when trying to remember how to use my Glass dipping ink pen, and liked it so much I ended up doing it as “proper” drawing.

@adlaim.bsky.social this feels like a redundant question, but are you a Connor O’Malley fan?

People talk about Season 4 of Community like it was some sudden drop in quality when they got rid of Dan Harmon, but Season 3 really starts to suck. The way they treat Abed especially is just not good.

Oh great, Elon is making Chainsaws uncool now? Great.

My mother came back from Morocco in time for my birthday, and she brought me back a Wicker Fez embroidered with a Lobster on it. I wore it all the way through my birthday meal in a hipster restaurant that cares a lot about looking cool.

Elaine: He said you should see your own show? Jerry: He said I should see my own show! E: So what did you tell him? J: What could I tell him? If I wasn't me it would have been good advice! George: What's going on? E: Jerry's doctor told him to see his own show G: Your doctor has a show?

I just told the guy at the School of Art coffee shop that I wasn’t really doing anything to celebrate my birthday and he said “How depressing”. Why wait for a reason to celebrate chum, I celebrate every day.

It’s my birthday, I am [redacted].

High as a kite on the good stuff, eating nature valley bars like they’re the cure for what ails me.

Hey look, it’s @comicprintinguk.bsky.social

Running 30 minutes behind schedule at the Hospital so I’ve been watching the waiting room TV and I swear these shows are invented purely for waiting rooms. This cannot be a real show. Arthur Weasley from the Fast Show is a vicar who solves crimes.

The hospital giving some real eerie vibes today.

This guy could be your valentine.

Genuinely baffled that the Labour government are proudly shouting about closing a “loop hole” that has given a Palestinian family the right to Asylum as part of a scheme to help settle displaced Ukrainians. We have reached the stage where we don’t even hide the value judgement on peoples lives.

I think that Twin Peaks season 2 is just introducing more and more characters to stop me recognising Windom Earle in fake moustaches.

Using calligraphy pens again for illustration is really like taking a guided tour through my memory. I’m slowly relearning stuff, like for example, how the human hand is a big dumb piece of meat that will drag ink around the page if you forget which bits are wet.
