The first scary media thing, I think was a public safety campaign poster - genuinely it still scares me. But, also: Big Bird

I HAVE WORKED OUT HOW TO DRAW A SEAL IN A WAY THAT PLEASES MY HEART. Thank heavens. Now I can do my seal tasks! Of which I have many, surprisingly many

I’m trying my absolute fucking hardest to learn how to draw seals. For a family commitment. It is going really dubiously.

How the f- is any of this normal? Labour can choose to undo this immediately. Deproscribe Palestine Action. It was a disastrous decision by the Starmer admin and Burnham can undo it.

Instructional YouTube videos about the bonding of rabbits are… scarier than most media I have seen. I’m on my third one and it’s… you have to have an oven mitt on each hand AND be holding a dustpan fight-impediment-implement AND keep a 24 hour watch on them. I just.

Pop Star Academy is brutal. I watched ten minutes whilst eating my cereal this morning, suddenly started crying about Manon and inhaled milk. ✌️

The byline of this article is shameful. News like this aren't about the effects of optics in UK politics but about the 500.000 people that are now risking famine as a direct, immediate consequence

Just gave my new bunny stacking cups and she attacked them with… incredible ferocity. I love girl bunnies, they’re so intense

Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

I keep coming back to this clip against the background of AI companies infesting higher education. And I feel like I need to show this in class to students, for them to understand why not to trust these bastards

I was making a cardboard box castle last night and spontaneously found a banana in one of the boxes. Absolutely panicked. Threw the banana out of the window. I wouldn’t say I’m scared of bananas but it’s like butterflies - you really don’t want to suddenly encounter them in enclosed spaces

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

I have watched just over half of this - it serves compelling perspectives that I hadn’t considered before, and dismantles some of the crybullying rhetoric that undercuts the ‘moderate’ style of silencing that PL@nk likes to do youtu.be/Cg65hMajDbc?...

This is a doughnut void belly nebula DJ rabbit who can play little galaxies like they are vinyl discs. There are songs trapped in the galaxies. Just avoid his belly button because it sadly contains the void

My plan is to bond my rabbit Crumbellino with a new friend soon and so naturally I am watching YouTube tutorials and, Christ alive. Sweeping fireplaces is going to be the LEAST of my worries. It looks like absolute chaos

I’m scrubbing clean lots of Victorian fireplaces today, which is why I am thinking about chimney sweeps

Alice @auroraborealices.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Chimney sweeps are the most horrifying touchstone for how something terrible can be considered normal - until it isn’t. There was a time when people had to lobby and campaign to… not put children in chimneys. Ghastly

A lot of the talk about artists speaking about Palestine, veers into “an artist mustn’t feel pressure to comment”. And whilst I am personally not interested in pressuring anyone into… anything ever: I don’t think there is more pressure to speak out, than there is pressure to shut up.

You know what frightened me terribly as a little kid: the song Mmbop by Hanson. It had this morbid cursed media aura like the VHS tape from The Ring. I think I read an interview in Top of the Pops magazine where they said it was about how we inevitably die. Was that a dream? I dunno. Scary

With amusing songs I usually find the comedy sort of loses its edge with repetition, but Denial is a River always gets me because of all the little nuances in how Doechii speaks - like when she says ‘sorry’ whilst still growling. Funny 💖

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

‘Heartbreaking’, ‘it’s so complicated’, ‘hope for peace’: these are the approved rhetorical talking points of the pro IDF lobby. ‘Some mistakes’ - which mistakes? This person allowed a billionaire to smear and deplatform his friend, for calling it a genocide.

Pen, watercolor, acrylic paint, black & white charcoal pencil.

One of my favorite pieces from my new book, Spooky Pants. Coming out this October.

A small cabin in the snow surrounded by trees. Two cabin people stand outside holding mugs of hot cider. One of them shouts out, “Big Fella, we got hot apple cider happening over here.” On the other side of the page we see Big Fella, a massive spider emerging from the forest. 

Artist’s note: The spider only has 6 legs.. I made a mistake. However, I did read that some spiders can lose their legs in battle so maybe that’s what happened. Also, this drawing was probably directly inspired by the game Limbo. I love the art direction in it.

Sometimes I just think we should put Doechii in charge of everything. The videos of her performing are so celestially intense. It just has to be the best example of a human. If we needed an example of a human as an ambassador for the planet… Doechii performing ‘Crazy’ in Washington, last year

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

I was out in the dark listening to the song Debut by Katseye on loop, because I just found it today and it’s really good! Anyway: a bat started circling around and around my head while I walked. Faster and faster. Then when I pressed stop: no bat. You know what this means. Batseye

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

Whenever something like this happens, I hear people go “why are we expecting pop stars to become moral arbiters of political matters?” But they’re not being asked to present Question Time are they?! I think it’s ok to have a little bit of a stance against the industrial scale murder of kids
