Had a lot of fun trying my hand at recreating some of that classic John Blanche style using the Masterclass sets from @thearmypainter.bsky.social - the one 'outside' paint I allowed myself was Plate Mail Metal for highlights. Not sure I quite hit Blanchitsu heights, but that was a great exercise!

Fewer people sit next to me on the bus since I started shitting my pants
A pile of DVDs (not all of them), plastic sleeves which can hold cover and disc, and some boxes to keep them in.
I think this will be a brilliant idea. 300 sleeves (might not be enough) and a little patience.
I asked if they could just take them out and disable the warning light - that WAS NOT a popular suggestion!
Ha! Itβs been MOT day for my Viva. Β£400 on new TPMS sensors in order to pass. Why canβt I just check my tyres myself every few weeks, grrr?!
βSheβs the exception, I am the rule.β
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bellβs detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
The takeaway was clear. The trans community is loved, they are supported, and they are absolutely not going anywhere

Not my listing, but I know people like bargains - this looks well priced

These are just lovely! Youβve got so much detail pulled out on these miniatures
Do you think they will do this?
But that reply from Rosie Duffield too - how vile that a sitting MP openly displays so much hate towards an oppressed minority group.
Bloody hell π²
Upcoming book event! LOVE, LOSS AND LANDSCAPE with me and lovely @smpierce.bsky.social, hosted by @foldedorset.bsky.social who yesterday were named Best Indie Bookshop in the Southwest! Please join us on 22nd April, 7pm, The Grosvenor Arms Shaftesbury. Tickets: www.ticketsource.co.uk/folde-dorset
Iβve found them to be a bit gappy too. I like how youβve filled them
This! I still want to work but for myself...on my terms...
Youβll love it. Itβs where idiots throw you under the bus to make themselves look good in the name of office politics and careerism.
Glad you are feeling better, sorry that work is on the cards
Getting nuzzled to death by that wouldnβt be the worst way to go!

The only things that will stop our inevitable slide into technofeudalism:
1) We automatically gain copyright of our own visage/body/self/face/etc.
2) We make it law that companies have to use an "opt-in" model instead of the current "opt-out" model.
3) Generative AI is not "fair use".
βTrans Mission is about joy and positivity β itβs an opportunity to send a bold and loud message that we stand with the trans community, we are stronger together and we wonβt be silenced.β β @ollyalexander.bsky.social

Colour image of a Venetian lamppost with gondola and boat movement on the canal. Itβs misty so the building faded to the background
Today I thought I would bring you a little bit of Venice colour. It also works really well in B&W but felt like a change
Just beautiful!

How long are their legs?!
Iβve always wanted to smell like custard creams, for similar outcomes.
Seriously though, this looks rather lovely. Do they do sample sets?

The Hen and Rooster tankheads were pinnacles of Neverwar era Alliance engineering. A batteryβs worth of artillery and an infantry fighting vehicle capable of deploying four egg tankettes ideal for urban combat. Despite their size both maintained good mobility in the field.

Following on from the recent Peninsular releases last week there's a new additions range to compliment them π
Small for now but it will be added to in the coming months.

I am so sorry to hear this. Is there anyone you can contact to get more information?
This bubble will burst, and will cause massive economic damage. A few will get very rich off the back of all these βinvestmentβ while for the rest of us itβll be public inquiries and ITV dramatisations to reveal the true scale of harm.
