Sorry I've been absent. Been spending more time on Instagram for some reason, where I seem to gain a lot of traction from big-titty AI ladies called Donald.

Sometimes going to the gym has extra rewards

A photo of a short letter typed (on a typewriter!), on lined yellow paper. The letter reads: SEPHY IS CUTE TELL YOUR FRIENDS. A caption has been superimposed on the letter. It reads: Love letter in the ass pocket of my gym shorts. Why, thank you!

First direct comment on my blog since I re-launched the site a few months ago. I cannot describe how much joy this brings. If you have read any of my work: thank you.

A screenshot of an email, telling me I have a comment on my latest blog (title: Depression: The Shitty Kitty You Need to Put Down). The comment reads: Thanks you Saph [sic]. We don't know each other, and it's extremely unlikely we'll ever meet, but I want to say it's good to know you're there in this cheek-flushed non-sprint of mental health issues. And for this briefest of moments, I'm there too. - Rich

Hey writers! What's the dumbest creation you're super proud of? I'll go first: I added some magical realism to our slice-of-life relationship comic and turned Alex's ice-cream machine into a sentient house bot called CreamBoi. LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER THAT CAME FROM MY BRAIN. Your turn!

A panel from the comic Wazzocks. To the right is Seph, a white enby with glasses. Looking terrified, they clutch their phone and repeat unsteadily: "Cream...Boi?" To the left of the panel is a bipedal robot with a barrel ice-cream machine chest. His eyes glow, he appears to have a mechanical smile, and he is labelled around the middle: CreamBoi.

Confused backstage at an "interpretive tango" event.

Seph, a non-binary white person, takes a selfie in a bathroom mirror. Their face is scrunched up in confusion. Their black sweatshirt says "A little ray of pitch black" in black text; the tiles of the bathroom and the frame on the oval mirror are also black.

Made some new friends lately. The deer and the cuddling dog and cat I spotted while taking a stroll in the neighbourhood. I feel so lucky to be here.

FIG! Alex really captured here in today's Wazzocks. Actual Fig for reference.

Fig, a corgi mix, sits curled up on a sofa, smiling.

This Wazzocks is actually based on this image. Alex is an oral hygiene menace.

Two figures reflected in a bathroom mirror. Alex, a white cis man with a beard and glasses, is on the left. He is shirtless, brushing his teeth, wearing a white plastic bucket on his head, and leaning towards Seph. Seph, a white non-binary person with glasses, side-eyes Alex suspiciously, while holding up their phone to take a pain the mirror. This is some of the wildest alt text I have ever had to write.

I haven't drawn in years. This is my attempt to start getting back to it, practicing, and being vulnerable about the fact that when you start something new, you are MEANT TO BE SHIT AT IT. Anyway, great choice for me to pick a clock, that I was viewing from a weird angle. (Perspective is a hater).

A pencil drawing of an analog alarm clock, beside the alarm clock used for reference. The perspective is odd, but it's definitely not the worst drawing. It is dated June 19th 2026.

@alexsteacy.bsky.social made ice cream for our friend's birthday, in the bathtub. Ice cream making is LOUD.

Alex, a white man with a beard and glasses, sits in a bathtub, wearing a yellow safety helmet with attached ear protection. He is holding up a temperature sensor. Behind him sits a large ice cream maker.

This Fig. Last night she decided to sleep next to the toilet and growl from the darkness when I got up to pee.

This is Fig. One time she stole the top slice of bread off a sandwich.

Fig, a corgi mix, sat in the hallway, licking her chops. Dan, a white, masc-presenting enby with short, curly ginger hair and glasses , sits next to her, stroking her between the ears.

This was the setting default. I didn't know it was set, as it isn't directly under the Settings page - it has to be toggled on the Bluesky Moderation account. The definition of the label is also given.

A screenshot of the Bluesky Moderation Service page. It shows that under Labels, any account labeled as "Rude" is automatically hidden.

A "Rude" account is defined on the page as "Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose."

Bluesky Moderation hides "Rude" accounts by default. The account in question? Political cartoonist @deephurting.bsky.social. #blueskycensorship

An account whose reply has been hidden, because Bluesky moderation has marked it as "Rude."

The Bluesky Moderation Service page - which actually contains toggled settings for your account, beyond the ones that appear under "Settings". There are multiple content labels on this page, and in this screenshot, the user is informed of what "Rude", which was by default set to hide all flagged posts, means.

A "rude" account is definitely ed as: "Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose."

The bio of the censored account, Terrence Nowicki, Jr. It reads: "Political cartoonist and writer + Simpsons references (mostly seasons 2 through 9)", followed by a link to the website, thisishistorictimes.com.

This is Fig. For the first week after I got a temporary prosthetic tooth that had to be removed for meals, she kept trying to EAT IT.

Fig, a corgi mix, lays on her back on the sofa, snuggled up into a pyjamaed thigh.

This is Fig. She has a beef with cats because they don't like having their butts sniffed.

This is Fig. She poops and runs, trying to disown her crimes. (The humans take care of it while she pretends to be an innocent bystander).

Fig, a corgi mix, looking wistfully up towards something off-camera.

This is Fig. She once ate a raw teabag.

Fig, looking up at the camera, with bits of leftover celery on the carpet. She will not eat all the celery, but she gets grumpy if not offered *some* celery.

Gonna start a thread shaming my dog. This is Fig. Today she tried to eat a screw.

Victoria is great because it has the capacity for a cute strawberry festival filled with crafts and strawberry flash tattoos and people COSPLAYING AS STRAWBERRIES, and also for this judgemental ass bike.

A temporary street sign for the Ichigo Strawberry Festival. It is a big red arrow with "Ichigo" in gold lettering, and a cartoon of a white cat wearing a strawberry costume.

A sheet of flash tattoos that were available at the Ichigo Strawberry Festival. Flash by @baby.fountain on Instagram.

Excuse the poor photo, but I had to show you: I got a mosquito bite that makes it look like Vincent Price has a giant forehead zit.

A close up of a tattoo of a young Vincent Price. There is a big, swollen red lump in the middle of the tattoo's forehead - a mosquito bite.

Hell yeah! I have a Day of the Tentacle half sleeve and portraits of Manny Calavera and Glottis on the back of my thighs. (This picture is from a lifetime ago, but you get the gist). One day I want a little Cosmo from Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures!

"Surely your relationship can't be this absurd" My loves, this is Alex the other night when dinner was too hot to eat and I suggested he should "blow on it"

I love living in a community where we all look out for each other. Look at this charming young man, trimming a neighbour's lawn for free!

Dan: gonna work out. Let me just get into position... Fig: LEG BRIDGE! LEG BRIDGE! I AM THE TROLL OF THE LEG BRIDGE, OOH SCARY TROLL, WOO!

Fig, a small corgi, pops out under the steepled knees of Dan, a white non-binary masc person with a smile.

In the second image, Fig looks off to one side, mid-wriggle.

In the final image, Fig arches her back, looking to howl like a tiny troll beneath the bridge of Dan's legs.

If my stubbornness knows bounds, it willfully ignores them. Here's another iron-on patch I just hand stitched to my bag. My thumb is throbbing like a big cartoon thumb that's been hit with a hammer.

A bright teal patch sewn onto a black backpack. It is shaped like a tarot card, with the numerals XII at the top, and THE COFFEE at the bottom. The design in the middle shows two white hands reaching up towards stars, clouds, and an ice coffee with a straw. It is the single most millennial thing I own.

Seph Hallow @sephhallow.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

These are iron-on patches, but I hate ironing, so by fuck I hand stitched them on.

A Herschel backpack featuring 4 patches. In descending order:

Patch 1: A derby skater next to the words "It's a BOUT time"
Patch 2: A 3-eyed Garfield face. There is no additional context I can give to explain this, I'm sorry.
Patch 3: A tombstone that reads, "Ronald Reagan's grave is a gender neutral bathroom."
Patch 3: Plain black with white text. It reads: Thick Skull, thicker ass.

Went to a show called Battle of the Dad Bands, and found the tampon disposal had googly eyes. This is the pervert I fear in the ladies restroom.

Well, this has given me a hugely different perspective. I am a person, not an object being sold. So here's a mini insight into me: every time I see a Little Lending Library in my city, I take a picture and add it on Google Maps (if it's not there already) so other folks can find them - such as...

A bright pink Little Lending Library. It has a triangular roof and the shelf inside where the books sit has some kind of fascinating bird landscape wallpaper - kind of like you might expect on a kitsch plate at your nan's

A tiny blue box with a peaked roof, nailed to a tree. It has doors on the front with round brass handles, and a sign underneath that says "Poetree 🖤"

An unvarnished box on stilts with a flat roof and a glass door. The sign at the top says "Fifth Street Poetry Hut - Help Yourself!"

She would 100% put out a Clove cigarette in my coffee for sending her to school.

Thanks! Alex is really good at representing my tattoos (even though he admits it's challenging!) This is what it looks like IRL - technically it's a voidfish from The Adventure Zone ;)
