It's a year today since I got the keys for my flat! I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to be a homeowner, so I want to mark the occasion by giving to people who are without the safety and comfort a home should provide.

My itch store has digital copies of all my books (for half the price of print copies) including several that are now out of print. It is also the only place to get the special digital versions of my goblin zines, which have loads of art and writing you can't get elsewhere!

I hope you'll consider getting some of my silly little books to help an important cause, this felt like the best way to mark the aniversary of getting a home of my own, as I don't have much money to give hopefully donating my shop income will help boost the difference it makes!

Lo, adventurers! My friends and I will be at Dundee's Deecon this Saturday, and our party was split between two buildings. If you'd like to win some cool prizes, complete Great Wizard Gary's Stamp Rally and invoke the ancient stamp runes to unite our party together once more!

I actually looked up the book these photos are from cos it's uhhh relevant to a current project, and these beautiful boar are by Sally Matthews, from a sculpture project called "Wild boar Clearing" made in Grizedale Forest, Cumbria, UK from 1987-89. The source given above is actually a book of garden and botanical sculpture by Paul Cooper, who is an accomplished artist and garden designer but didn't make these awesome boar.

Seriously, this is somehow adorable and goofy and also a close encounter with something very eldritch. You can stop romanticising spooky deer; there's spooky grouse now.

@indiiglow Yup, two different birds.

While the willow grouse (the white bird, tho only white during winter) is smaller and relatively harmless, the capercaillie (the black one) is big and will not hesitate to throw hands and fuck you up.

fun fact, the capercaillie's name comes from an old gaelic name for it that roughly translates to "forest horse." They're extremely endangered in the UK due to habitat disruption and I hope one day to meet the forest horse.

Also the willow grouse here is called the ptarmigan (tarmachan in gàidlig) and is also very at risk due to climate change.
