Feels kind of telling that, on a day off, I’ve barely looked at my socials this morning. In a work day, very different story

It’s amazing how quickly I go from being happy to talk to someone about being an artist to wanting them to take a nip of strychnine the moment they say, “Paint me like one of your French girls.”

DOCTOR WHO: DRAGONFIRE (1987) featured a brief Raiders-style face-melting scene which went out at 7.35pm. Top marks to the YouTuber who spliced the full unedited version into the original clip. Early evening gore? This is what they want!

#TodayInQueerHistory Sept 24 (1951) Trans pioneer Christine Jorgensen underwent her first gender affirming surgery #OTD at the Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen. She soon made headlines as "ex GI becomes blonde bombshell", and she used her platform to advocate for trans rights and visibility.

My FAQ about why it's actually fine I'm in the Epstein Files is raising a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.

If I’d seen this even 3 months ago, I’m not sure I’d have believed I painted this. And over the last few months I’ve been struggling to find consistency. But I’ve researched and explored in an attempt to improve Am I as ‘good’ as I want to be yet? No, and I don’t expect to be. But it’s improving!

I do see a lot of comment on a show that people love and understandably want more of. “I want 10 seasons!” “Double the episodes!” Honestly, I’m happy with 8 great episodes for maybe 4-5 years of the quality’s good over getting as much out to fulfil demand.

Just had my work photo taken. Couldn’t find a natural pose and the photographer asked me what my motivation was. “Superiority and arrogance.” We went through the photos:and he said I looked like I was commanding the Great Eastern. Job done.

Being somewhat chronically online, I tend to forget certain things. Like a whole world that just accepts Harry Potter as they remember it with absolutely no dark shadow over it at all. Had to have ‘the talk’ today. I’m sure some might think I’m being a killjoy, but this stuff can’t slide anymore.

I was having a conversation about a work friend’s mum’s trifle: She said, “She’s very anal about trifle.” I couldn’t help it. I said, “But oddly trifling about anal.” Apparently I was overheard through someone else’s microphone while talking to a client. Mortified.

On the phone to my mum earlier, talking about how in order for authors to get interest on social media it’s unsurprising they might post some thirst A writer herself, she said, “Well, I probably wouldn’t do it now, but a few years ago…”

Despite a couple of slower episodes near the beginning, I really enjoyed Maul: Shadow Lord Great characters, and a good way of bringing back an underused character that still actually has plenty of potential mileage (I know the GIF is from Clone Wars but you get the point)
