I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Encouraging radiographers to work smarter*, not harder. *Dumber #art #illustration #computertomography #painfullyniche
A diagram titled CT EFFICIENCY PROPOSAL - basically, the idea is that people go through a water-slide and exit through the CT Scanner into a soccer goal net. It's a stupidly high-effort attempt at dragging the slightest bit of humour out of the largely joke-free medical environment that I work in.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

The Luddites were right by the way. They were violently suppressed by the military, working on behalf of the factory owners. Chartists and other activists took up the fight of Luddism to win us back worker rights. George, just have a read of this mate: tomhumberstone.com/luddites

When it comes to trans rights, the BBC has been reversing through the marketplace of ideas, smashing into fruit carts. But it's interesting that its conservative critics still regard the broadcaster as a font of pro-trans propaganda. How odd! Perhaps a few more concessions will win them over?

Using #makeaterriblecomicday2025 as an excuse ignore the internal critic and get something out of my head. Inspired by COLD REACTOR by Everything Everything
4-panel strip illustrating the opening lyrics of COLD REACTOR by Everything Everything:

So we built the mountain
By digging an almighty hole
And on our backs, we carried every rock and stone
But now, the hole is deeper
Than anybody ever planned
And we're blocking out the sun

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky Well, while we're doing upsetting reinterpretations of popular culture figures...
An illustration of a bisected Minion lying on a plate in front of a hungry Gru, sat with cutlery clenched in his fists and a modesty cloth covering his eyes and concealing the shameful act from The Lord

The text below is quoting @brainmage’s magnificent verse from the original post:
[To the tune of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' by The Beach Boys] 

🎵Wouldn't it be nice
🎵To eat a Minion
🎵Holding up a towel to hide from god
🎵And wouldn't it be nice
🎵Though quite forbidden
🎵Savouring the yellow flesh of Bob

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Clive Barker gets it. faroutmagazine.co.uk/hellraiser-c...
Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.”

“I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

Just completely dumbfounded by the cruelty on display in Britain at the moment. I moved to Aus from London in August and was feeling disillusioned with the place back then. And now, seeing those in power throw poor, disabled and trans people on the fire, I feel... I don't know. Heartsick?
