I do have pages from my Pride story that include thumbnail, rough pencils, tight pencils and inks but I'm holding off posting those until the comic comes out (unless @joeglass.bsky.social is OK me posting the first page)

Just because of the current discussion about pencils versus inks, I'm someone who pencils pretty roughly and then adds the details in the inks. I don't tend to scan my pencils but one that I do have is this Nice Day Wanda story (written by @alexdecampi.bsky.social).

Turns out I was wrong, it is only one series of six episodes so I'm not sure why I remembered it as two (unless I saw half of it and then the other half much later, which is entirely possible)

Possibly. I think it turned up on Gold or Dave or one of those channels a while back and I enjoyed it well enough. The budget is obviously far lower than you'd get today but it's a decent bit of post-apocalyptic drama for all that

Yes, I remember it well. Only two series and the second one kind of didn't really know where it was going with the story after the initial really great premise but it had a great cast if nothing else.

Yeah, there are loads of windfarms in the hills around my parents house (near Aberystwyth) and I rather love the way they look.

I'm not totally sold on that Time Bandits trailer, but Kudrow is reason enough on her own to check it out.

I never really saw the appeal of Paul Mescal (perfectly nice looking dude, nowt to really turn my head) then I saw the pictures of him in Gladiator 2 and understood what the fuss was about and *then* I watched the trailer and the silly voice he's doing took me right out again.

There are only 65 members of the order at any one time and they're mostly politicians or diplomats, but it does also currently also include David Attenborough, Judith Dench, Ian McKellen, David Hockney, Evelyn Glennie, Delia Smith and Quentin Blake, which is nice

Dame Shirley Bassey being made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour and therefore *officially* a person of "conspicuous national importance" is a good thing. The Honours system is stupid and has language rooted in Empire and racism but I do think national honours can be a good thing

Yeah, them literally not having enough MPs to elect a leader would have been hilarious. But the process is setbuo so they can change it each time if needs be. That is, however, as long as they have a working 1922 Committee which appears not to be the case...

That was just the last round of the last election. It can change based on each time it's run, but usually they only need 2 nominations for the first round then it goes up each time the candidate with the least nominations is eliminated. The 100 threshold last time was because of the number of MPs.

Gus is moping because while the door is wide open and he is more than welcome to go out, he can't because it's pissing it down and this is something he hasn't come to terms with yet.

Leandro Fernandez and Dave Stewart have done a terrific job on Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age of echoing Mignola's art without feeling like they're actually just copying it.

Sounds like a ban on conversion "therapy" is high on the government's priority list, which is good. I hope they follow through quickly rather than trying to placate religious groups thinking they should be allowed to carry out abuse because their imaginary friend says it's OK.

A lot of people fail to realise the "separate the art from the artist" really inky applies if said artist isn't still directly benefiting from it. Buying Harry Potter crap benefits the TERF, listening to the Ring Cycle doesn't benefit Wagner.

As far as I can see Phillipson is, like Dodds, a bit if a fence-sitter but the writer TERF seems to be furious about them being appointed so that's a positive.

It doesn't mean that it's a positive for trans kids of course, but at least it implies they might actually be asking for input from actual schools before coming up with transpohibic and fundamentally illegal policies

Huh. Bridget Philipson also being Equalities Minister is interesting. Since one of the most contentious issues with regards to trans rights was around schools it does make sense for her to have direct input as Education and Equalities.

I love doing character design and costume design. The problem is I am less good at finishing writing stories for these characters and designs to inhabit. I just need someone to pay me to do designs and I'd be happy.

I'm also have more issues with insomnia but that comes and goes anyway and I don't know if it's ADHD related or just it being summer and not dark (I'm a light sleeper at the best of times so even a small amount of daylight means disturbed sleep)

Think I might actually have to get a full ADHD diagnosis (my previous diagnosis was from an autism who diagnosed both but as far the doctor goes that's not an ADHD diagnosis). I don't think I need medication (not currently, anyway) but I think the disability needs to be noted officially

Those sound simultaneously awful and excellent. One of my favourite things is going to B&M Bargains and finding the dubious flavours of biscuits and chocolate in the hope of finding pure gold.

Yes, he's definitely the most outspokenly anti-trans of the Cabinet but also probably in the position where he can have the most lasting damage. He's absolutely using the fact he's a gay man to frame his TERFery as acceptable too.

I also don't see her being any kind of active opposition to Streeting's TERFery either though so I suspect the Health Department is actually where the focus really needs to be.

Annaliese Dodds as Equalities Minister probably means that things won't get actively and immediately worse for trans people but I suspect it also means she'll just carry on vacillating and trying to please everyone by being noncommittal in the hope the problem goes away.

There are a few episodes of I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls and The Good Life (the dinner party episode for one) that are absolutely perfectly written, acted and filmed that should be in the discussion at least. Older sitcoms often don't get the credit they deserve in that regard.

We've mostly sealed it in an ad hoc way but the whole thing needs to be taken out and fully sealed before we can have the huge hole in the dining room ceiling filled and replastered. Finding a plumber at the moment seems nigh on impossible though.

We have an ongoing issue with our en-suite, because when we had it redone the bathroom fitter put in the shower tray and screen *then* tiled so although the tiles were sealed the tray and screen aren't which meant that over a period of months it started leaking through the ceiling of the room below

To be fair I suspect the most frequently found hidden room is probably a sec dungeon of one kind or another. Still not sure it's a discovery I'd want to make. Especially not in the home of a family member.

They sent us photos because they knew no-one would believe them otherwise. It wasn't a very big sex dungeon, but there was absolutely no doubt what it was intended for. Why it had just been walled up (along with the stairs) rather than removed is anyone's guess.

We have some friends who have been doing up their house (all a 70s build, allegedly designed and built by an architect but they've sceptical about how professional they were). They took down a wall and found not only a walled up staircase but also a literal sex dungeon.

On a whole other scale, but they're renovating Manchester Town Hall at the moment and have been for several years, but it's ended up taking a lot longer because they keep finding things like sideways chimneys running under floors because it appears to have been built complete madmen.
