I’m pondering plucking artwork from Deviant Art (I’d naturally give credit where credit’s due, and I wouldn’t reproduce anything without permission), and using it for the basis of a short story. This doesn’t just apply to art from Deviant Art – it can come from anywhere. If you want to see a short tale based […]
So we entered into uncharted territory. Our lives in the UK are now on hold for three weeks, with unknown and unforeseen consequences and issues likely to arise in that time. Now more than ever, we need to recall the compassionate side of humanity, so we can record this as a triumph of dignity, respect […]
Until such a time that my employers, or the government, tell me otherwise, I’m still required to go to work. This isn’t necessarily a problem, as the store is spacious and we can keep our distance from each other. The big problem is boredom. There are very few customers in need of bathrooms during the […]
I was recently made aware of a gaming site that has made it very clear it wants to be homophobic and proud of it. I’m not going to give them the privilege of a direct link – instead, look up One Angry Gamer and Animal Crossing. Apparently one reference to a pair of female characters […]
I don’t recall a time in my lifetime when the world felt so surreal. Schools are closing, business is slowing right down, and we have ‘advice’ from our government when we need concrete instructions to avoid mass layoffs. Shelves in supermarkets are bare, as people panic, creating additional problems for others, and we lack any […]
I’d love to believe this was a satirical site, but in my experience of conservative folk (not all, it must be said, but many), it’s usually all too true. The website Conservative Woman is a new one to me, and I suspect it won’t take long for me to find many articles filled with disagreeable […]
More than ever, the act of bending my knees, kneeling (obviously) and standing up is a source of pain. I’m thinking this is an inevitable consequence of A: ageing and B: chasing my daughter around. As I once said to my wife, I’m no spring onion anymore. No, that isn’t a typo. Well it is, […]
It’s pretty much impossible to avoid this subject, as much as I would rather avoid it. Sporting events that I follow have been postponed, conventions that interest both my wife and I have been delayed, and the slow start to the new store I work in has most likely been prolonged by all this. This […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! We begin with some big work-related news, news that I hope will provide relief to a lot of people, albeit for different reasons. I find myself having mixed feelings, because of the circumstances of a colleague’s resignation, but ultimately this will prove for the best for all parties. It […]
