Happy World Heart Day! This day is all about heart health, and I'd like to celebrate it by begging any doctors reading this to please consider different body types and larger chests when fitting holter monitors! Because they were definitely not considered when mine was fitted today and ouch 😭

Yesterday's drawing efforts: the (doll) cast of Seed of Chucky! I love the idea of drawing more horror icons, although it backfired a bit this morning 😭 (I tried drawing Pinhead, got his head shape wrong and he came out looking what can only be described as slightly babygirl)

First Dolly Parton, now Tim Curry 😢 As a kid I was obsessed with both Muppet Treasure Island and Ferngully, and there were many nights spent staying up to comfort-watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show when my anxiety was at its worst. Tim Curry was one of those actors who pretty much shaped me ❤️

(1/3) With Dolly Parton's passing, I want to put good words on the wind for her. Feel free to quote reply with your own. Dolly became the single largest donor for the Moderna COVID vaccine because of a chance encounter and friendship with a Vanderbilt researcher Dr. Naji Abumrad years earlier. She

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

I can't ride thrill rides for health reasons, but as a ride nerd getting to see these iconic beauties up close at Alton Towers was a dream come true. I also rode Hex three times in a row (my favourite ride ever built) and got to ride The Curse at Alton Manor and adored every second of it!

Upside of pre-ordering a book by your favourite author: you might get it a few days early! The downside: if it's really good, you might find yourself blazing through it and have to pace yourself so you don't run out of book too quickly 😅 #FabulousBodies #ChuckTingle

Every year for Pride Month I make a rainbow out of books for the fun of it. This year is the first year that every book in the stack is queer! (Most of my collection has always been queer, but it hasn't been this colourful)

A stack of colourful books arranged to look like a rainbow. The books are: Model Home by Rivers Solomon, They by Kay Dick, Spoilt Creatures by Amy Twigg, Tinker Belles and Evil Queens by Sean Griffin, and Cursed Under London by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch.

This brought me joy.

A photo of a stovetop with a casserole and an open bag of chips right behind it. With the stove dials in the background, the bag looks like a giant excited mouth with eyes very happy about the casserole. Next to the photo is digital art recreating the photo as an actual super happy creature holding a casserole

It's been one book short all this time, but as of today my Chuck Tingle horror collection is complete! 💖 Until Fabulous Bodies launches anyway, then it'll be complete again once my pre-order arrives 😄 (the two copies of Lucky Day are because one is a limited edition hardback btw)

A pile of books, all by Chuck Tingle. They are "Straight", "Bury Your Gays", "Camp Damascus" and two copies of "Lucky Day".

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

its unfortunate that artists get talked out of their rare perspectives so often. ‘its just not done that way’ someone says and artist goes ‘oh okay guess ill sand that part off.’ bud that is your SPARK. so much of my success is from holding firm on the things i do that were called ridiculous
