This reminds me of a job I had where this lad would talk like Jar Jar Binks in the company slack “mesa want more emails!” and it offended me so much I made multiple official complaints about him. He was a cunt in other ways too tho, so I feel no remorse.

the ongoing adventures of tonnerre 89/x i've labelled this as graphic media here's why, - close up drawing of injury. - an action that would be self-injury or suicide in the real world but isn't in the context of this story. if you want me to post a version of this with this blurred, let me know.

digital comic page. rayon & tonn talk about why hieryonima doesn't have a neck & tonn tells ray than fleur said it's becoz hier got her power by making a deal with a demon called the dark lord, but escaped him by cutting her neck off.

One of my all-time favorite animated characters, Gromit, born from practical and budget limitations. Because, of course. News to me! thank you for your latest article @ani-obsessive.bsky.social animationobsessive.substack.com/p/wallace-an...

Gromit turned into a dog really early on, since Park found dogs easier to model. And the character's dialogue was cut due to animation difficulties in the first week of the shoot. "That's when I realized I could do everything with the eyes. Gromit was suddenly born. He didn't need a mouth. He became a very introvert and very intelligent dog," Park remembered.

Day 278!! Lettering done on the card (it’s a bit wonky but younger sister and I aren’t that close anymore so I can get away with it) and she’s recently started a doggy daycare business so gonna get at least one dog painted on there too.

J.G. Ballard, lost in the supermarket

"It was ironic that the author of such unsettling work was a quiet and serious family man, who lived most of his adult life in a modest suburban house in Shepperton. His editor Malcom Edwards recalled how Ballard, on receiving the first payment for the film rights for Empire of the Sun, decided to splash out by visiting his local supermarket. After wandering the aisles for some time, he returned home with a tin of salmon." (Adam Sisman in the Guardian, 25.04.26)

Formula 1: so yeah we’re a real sport, based around driving fast and with precision over a sustained period of time. Also Formula 1: but, if you drive these cars too slowly the throttle dies and you can’t really drive them at all. One of many reasons that you can’t call Formula 1 a real sport tbh.

There was an episode of Taggart that I saw too small where a murder was leaving ventriloquist dummies at the scenes of the murders (one seated in the middle of the road I remember) and they still scare me so much, I can’t even look at them. I couldn’t ever be in the same room as one either.

Mountaineers

----------------

you can walk up the mountain
if you want to
you can walk the steep trail past the gorse bushes
balance carefully
on the shale as it shifts and crunches
under your sensible shoes

I can't guide you

I have never been up the mountain
I have always been here in the high meadow
drowsing and lonely
full of hollow contentment
naming the flora;
this is queenswort, I say
this is alabaster vine
this is look-at-me-won't-you

You arrived, like the sun arrives
like the bees
just passing through
and like the bees, I hoped
there was a plant here that could tempt you to stay;
this is heartleaf, I say
this is home-and-safe
this is love-me, love-me, love-me

but the peak calls you
and I have never been
and you are wearing your sensible shoes

I'm a member of the Greens in England, and they passed their "Zionism is Racism" motion the other day and I don't agree with it. I think it flattens a lot of nuance into a big blunt cudgel. I don't know if it is better to leave the party or not. I would love to hear from better informed friends.

Day 277!! Some days it’s about finishing a painting as part of your art practice, some days it’s about starting a birthday card for your sister.

Day 276!! There’s a spider in my studio area (I wouldn’t mind if it was showing any interest in doing some painting) so we’re in the Archive again. A Mothers Day card I made a couple of years back (we call our Mum Nora, inside joke) featuring my sisters and I.

A card with a spotty pink background with three of us holding up signs, bordered with some flowers in the foreground.

I have avoided having a big nap (had a small nap) I watched The Substance and then Platoon, I’ve applied for two better paid internal vacancies at work and I’ve had a healthy tea so it’s been a fairly productive day by recent Holly Baleen standards.

Is it normal to be in your early 40’s and have no energy at all? Like I know my lower back is just a mulch of fucked bones and so on but everything is SUCH an effort. And I take my meds and my vitamin D too. Bodies, the worst.

Not to misery post but I was very much looking forward to seeing my kids this weekend but for reasons out of everyone’s control that’s not happening now and it feels like the final kicker of a pretty miserable few weeks. Hopefully next weekend tho, it’ll be five weeks by then since I saw them last.
