Day 11 ‘Rescue’ #inktober2026 #inktober #inktoberrescue #rescue #RNLI The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is one of the greatest institutions this island (UK) has ever had. It’s mad that they are a charity and are not funded by the government like the other emergency services are.

Day 10 ‘Mystical’ #inktober #inktobermystical #inktober2026 #mystical #ladyofthelake “Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”
