I taught myself to dream lucidly with excellent recall about 30 years ago and this was the first dream I had where I was God. Lots to unpack.

We are getting ready to launch a demo soon. It will be a small sample of the core game play to see if people jive with the it. Really appreciate anyone helping with sharing my posts and wishlisting the game. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Why isn't there a 'Thriller' version of Whamageddon's hearing 'Last Christmas'? Anyway. Lost.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

It's a day ending in 'day', so I thought I should post about this collection of both the spectral and the bodily horrific: 14 stories of unease and alienation, bleak elation and despair. Ghosts and illness and pain and catastrophe. All the good stuff. undertowpublications.com/shop/i-would...

On this day, 25 years ago, a flatmate thought it was a really high budget episode of Diagnosis Murder.

Are you in or around Edinburgh and would like to come to my show but maybe can't afford it? Send me a message and I can comp you xo

The abrupt falling sensation you sometimes experience just as you’re going to sleep, known as a hypnogogic jerk, is a common phenomenon that has a perfectly natural explanation, and is caused by ghosts trying to drag you to hell.

@arcticlass.bsky.social Crokinole on Thursday? :)

I just wrote in to the Guardian and they typoed my name. Perfect, really.

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

Someone told me this afternoon that England and France were going to let each other score five goals each to stop Messi from winning the Golden Boot. Ha ha I said nice conspiracy theory. WELL!

If you didn’t know that I live in the same part of Bury where Victoria Wood grew up, you could guess it from a sentence issued by a woman I’ve just been chatting to down the park. “I once saw down here, and I’ll never forget it because it was the day my friend had both thumbs off, two kingfishers.”

NEW WRITING n COMEDY COURSE Starts August 16th ONLINE / Sundays 4pm UK Time "The ultimate Ted Talk on comedy" - Caitlin Moran www.gralefrit.co.uk/writers-room...

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless

@gralefrit.bsky.social I really want a hot buttered rrrhum.

Down South for a party. A Pixie Lott cover of 500 Miles came on in McDonalds and I might have to attack England.

Met someone today who had been asking ChatGPT for advice. Not like, restaurant recommendations. More "How should I best use my time on this Earth". What are we doing.

Superb and recommended.

Nighthouse… something I’ve been faffing with for a while now. A fictionalised view from Coille Ghillie in Applecross (there’s no castle or lighthouse, never mind one like this). It’s a bit clunky and I’m not sure where to go with it from here (maybe a picture book).

Discovering Booze, Social Media and the gender of your preference at the same time sounds like a fucking nightmare that was only previously inflicted on Americans from god-bothering families during Freshers' week at a British university

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

I would love an attribution to you on that pic for when I post it at people!

Caught a late showing of Obsession. I was enjoying it. Two people walked out. Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Solid movie, amazing performances, excellent monster* *If you've seen it, you'll know

I've been asked to do a blog post of immersive/interactive/game-ish things at the Edinburgh Fringe, so this is your opportunity to tell me about things you're doing or are hyped for! (because these terms are ill-defined, I won't include *everything* and will refuse to explain myself)

Hesomaru-kun is the mascot for the Furano Bellybutton Festival, where people paint faces on their midriffs. He has a big belly face with a bellybutton nose.

Now reading, and rereading, and rereading, this marvel by Stephen Spender. Secrets, hidden villages, “the quick perspective of the future” – cor!

I for one welcome our blotchy, reactionary overlords.

@arcticlass.bsky.social

Just had a West Coast IPA and a Baltic Porter and like, that gum you like is going to come back in style.

Boo. But, I tried and it helped me make some decisions about art moving forward so. But if you’d like to see my art anyway, you can LOOK in me shops. You don’t *have* to buy anything. Bonus for me if you do, but I make it to shared Artofnote.sumupstore.com And ko-fi.com/J3J31HXMO/shop #art #bsnm

@thisnorthernboy.bsky.social I unreservedly recommend this show, which I've seen thrice.

sweep em up

Where are all the time travelling assassins?
