In some places we’d call this a reel, but not here, I don’t think. It’s my ‘Things that help me’ diagram, zipping past at a speed that doesn’t quite allow you to read it. [For an A4 printable version subscribe (free) to diagramclub.substack.com and I’ll send it.]

This is great news Mark - so pleased you're doing this. Entirely get the squeamishness, but, as I'm sure others have said: no need, not least because it looks like excellent value. Will be signing up.
Thanks Richard!

It's publication day for The PCC Strikes Back, my latest book, published by @canterburypress.bsky.social. It's collection no 9 of my cartoons from the Church Times. Photos taken at The Cafe, aka Essex Wildlife Trust Langdon, where lots of the cartoons were drawn. A link to buy the book is below.
It is, as they say, the giraffe possibly not in the room.
It wasn’t intended to be, but if it turns out to be accidentally appropriate do let me know.
Chart with ‘not in the room’ and ‘in the room’ at the top, a giraffe and elephant at the side. There’s a X in the ‘elephant in the room’ box. Underneath ‘X= thing that needs to be addressed’
Giraffe / elephant.
Love this, from my friends Jane and @andrewgraystone.bsky.social, who open up their home for asylum seekers to stay.
Thank you

Black and white drawing titled ‘The enemy - how they travel’. Picture of small boat, which is crossed out. Picture of private jet - not crossed out.
The enemy - how they travel
So sorry to hear this.
Thank you Stephen - greatly appreciated.
There’s a lot of dubious arguments on X, thinking those who have left have done so to avoid the audience there rather than for ethical / engagement reasons. Me: still there so people who think differently see my work, which doesn’t happen here / Insta. But case for leaving = v strong, absolutely.
Thank you!
Posting (with considerable apprehension) my TEDx talk. Topic: My case for cycling as a way to mitigate against climate change. The talk didn't happen quite as originally planned, so it was filmed, in China and Essex. Please forgive any imperfections in my delivery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9cT...
Ah great. It’s so frustrating isn’t it - pleased it worked

Hand drawn graph, with title ‘on a day like today’. Vertical axis is ‘level of achievement’, ranging from zero to high. Horizontal axis is ‘time’. There’s two lines in the graph. One: a very low ‘target’ line, horizontal, just above zero. And 2, an ‘actual’ line that wavers just above or below the ‘target’ one. At the bottom, text: ‘And that’s ok’
Drawn last week, when I wasn’t doing that well. For anyone who is struggling a bit, for whatever reason. It’s OK to have days when we just get by.

Instructions to do with getting Procreate brushes back
(In case it helps anyone: I did this, and it seems to have worked)

Yes, same issue.
Niche tech post. If anyone knows how to get your Procreate brushes back after the latest not-asked-for update I’d appreciate knowing.

Good to hear it isn’t just me, as sometimes… it is.
A shame your views were disregarded. To me the big loss is the map, which used to just work, perfectly, and was so useful, and now - just doesn’t. (I’m not normally the kind of person to moan online, but today…)
