That made me really happy! I know we’re virtually strangers but your words and friendliness when I was struggling with a huge unknown really helped.

With so much petty cruelty I have to think it’s the latter 👎

I would be in the US for a glass conference this week if I thought it were safe to go back. I don’t think I’m special but I had a video on why I was leaving the US go somewhat viral and reports like this lead me to think I should not enter the US again. WTF is this life?

Thank you! I would love to. I just applied to a show here and got rejected (oh well) but will keep looking. Also going to make some small stuff for markets soon.

Sure, Bond movies were a feminist nightmare, but I took my childhood role models where I could get them. Jane Seymour was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen and Solitaire had *powers*. #stainedglass

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Sometimes we listen to Top of the Pops on YouTube and this is the first one we’ve seen hosted by Jimmy Saville. Featuring a performance of My Sharona. Oof. This is the world we grew up in.

For some low-stakes fun I made this model kit. It’s supposed to have a working light but I neglected to test it before completion 😅

We went to this 1600s church for the stained glass but the tombstone floor got me!

My one remaining sewing machine croaked during the journey across the pond, but tomorrow I’m getting a new (to me) one. Not new, never new! But top of the line in 1985 or so. Despite its age it’s still more than I’ve ever spent on a sewing machine. #bernina

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Ah shit, Gerry Conway died. He created the punisher & was very outspoken in saying "if you're a cop who wears a punisher logo, frank castle fucking HATES you." He said the punisher only existed because of a fatally flawed system, & so those most harmed by that system have more claim to the symbol:

It’s interesting how different places have different immigrant bogeymen. I’m sure in Spain they’re plenty tired of pale people with money buying things up, whereas here they villainize brown people needing social services. Same as it ever was I guess.
