It's become my go-to for whenever I need random art for things. I used this picture to announce a new website

Slothra is standing next to ananchor and a crab, with other nautical themed items nearby. They are smirking evilly

No cheating post your lock screen.

The lockscreen of my phone, which is a shot from Animal Crossing New Horizons, set up to look like the Red Room from Twin Peaks. Slothra is sitting on the couch, laughing. The time is 7:50.

Yet AGAIN I can't work on my paper without running into someone I know. (This time from Teng et al (2026). Digital assets: risk, regulations, mitigation. Financial Innovation 12:65https://doi.org/10.1186/s40854-025-00848-y)

Me and my little friend getting ready to perform at Sea Queers at the Polar Bear Music Club in Hull.

Sandy Bawls, unable seaman, is sitting in a pub, looking like he's been on a ten-week bender, pointing at a small toy lobster.

I like how I can't even do reading for my paper (due in two weeks!) without running into someone I know.(From Whitaker, A. (2019) Art and Blockchain. Artivate: A Journal of Entrepreneurship in the Arts. 8(2) doi.org/10.34053/art... 34)

YEAAAAAAH BOI IT'S COELACANTH SATURDAY AT #EMF

The original Coelacanth Saturday post on a very large screen.

I haven't managed to get an actual shot of it on the screen, but #emf, it's Coelacanth Saturday.

This is exactly why you watch "Fiend Without A Face".

Just got out of seeing Pansy Division. They played "Homo Christmas", my go-to for the holiday season and I couldn't be happier.

The band Pansy Division performs on a small stage in the Bodega in Nottingham.

I'm loving the font choice on this bus ad. Those Ns!

An ad for the discounted evening bus fares, saying that they're valid from 7pm. The font for "discounted evening" is gorgeous.

Welp, my t-shirt for @emfcamp.bsky.social is here.

A grey t-shirt with purple printing - an illustration of the Spacing Guild Navigator from Dune (1984) and the text:
BORN TO NAVIGATE
MACHINE IS A FUCK
Spirits (Translated from Chinese) Kill Em All 10191
I am butlerian jihad

Okay, enough dicking around today. Time to do my reading.

A blue A4 notebook with stickers on it, including a teal notebook with the Loch Ness Monster on it, a pencil with a Fresno Nightcrawler topper, a sketch pad with a crayon picture of a jackalope, a jackalope holding up a notebook and saying "this notebook will fix me!", and a white label that just says "STUDY". A narrow pink eraser in its wrapper. A Rilakkuma mechanical pencil. An iPad in a pink and cream striped cover with two stickers of fuzzy worms making a heart. All on top of a lap desk with a vague brown leaf pattern on black, and hot pink rainbows and unicorns duct tape on the edges.

I think I might have bought too many Dum-Dums. (Lemur for scale)

A toy lemur sits on top of a bag of 300 Dum-Dum lollipops. The bag is large.

In this house, we celebrate.

A photo (with a bad reflection) of the front window. Along with the maneki nekos and sad cats and singing busts, there is Godzilla standing proudly, angrily, holding a giant Pride Flag.

I bought ONE sticker from an Etsy seller, and, instead, got TWO stickers, a "business card", AND a hand-drawn sketch on the envelope. IT REALLY IS GRUNKLIN' TIME. Not S&P Approved is a GEM: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NotS...

From the top right, going clockwise:
A sticker of Stan Pines from the cartoon "Gravity Falls", with his fist facing forward, and two Bill Ciphers in the background looking dismayed. The text reads "Grunkle Stan's Triangle Punching Club".
A sticker of Stan Pines laughing and holding a cigar. The text reads "Every day I'm grunklin'".
A hand-drawn picture of Stan Pines on a "Do Not Bend" envelope. The text reads "You got great taste in stickers, kid!"
A fake business card for the Mystery Shack. The text reads:
Stanford Pines
The original Mr. Mystery!
Proprietor, host & expert in salesmanship
"I definitely pay my taxes!"
Currently studying advanced physics is scratched out and it says "No! No I'm not! Are you a cop?"
The other items listed are
Legitimate pug imports guaranteed
Llama removal a specialty
Low-cost dentist
Professional golf carter
Grunkle

I like how I was like "I am going to do SO MUCH every day I am going to be SO DAMN PRODUCTIVE" And then a cold and the heat wipe me out and I am like "welp, never mind." On the other hand, this is Tinsel Valentine, thembo at large, security guard at the museum, enjoying their Paralives.

A tall muscular person with breasts, aqua hair in two pigtails, hot pink glasses, a halter top with a weird blobby pattern on it, a pair of cutoffs, and grey sneakers. They have tattoos. They are standing in a generic position. There is not a thought in their head.

I have had this shower curtain for a few years now. I have only just now noticed that half of the flamingos DON'T HAVE EYES. ... WHAT THE HELL.

A blue shower curtain with hot pink flamingos on it. Some of the flamingos have eyes. The one in the centre does not.

Today, I watched "Pete Murray Takes You To Nottingham" (1982), another great Baim production all about where I live! It is FINE ART. Thank you, @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social! (There is not yet a poster on Letterboxd, so enjoy this screen cap of the Left Lion.) letterboxd.com/katemonkey/f...

The Left Lion statue in front of Nottingham Council House, looking very stylised and grumpy.

This is nowhere near as good as it needs to be, as it is late at night and I am using GIMP, but....

Today, I watched "Pete Murray Takes You To Hastings", but, instead of showing you the current blank Letterboxd preview box, I'm going to show you the nightmare fuel that was at the Hastings seaside in 1983. letterboxd.com/katemonkey/f...

Two large over exaggerated models of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher's faces, with the lower jaw separated from the rest of the model so that the jaws can move up and down. There is no life to this wizened horrific animatronics. There is nothing but horror. This was what life in 1983 was really like.

It was juvenile, it was ridiculous, but by gawd it was mine and I still stand by it.

A clipping from Yahoo! Internet Life, February 1999, discussing two Babylon 5 fan sites. The text reads:
Ever since Minbari ambassador Delenn emerged from her chrysalis and laid eyes on Babylon 5's Captain John Sheridan, the two were destined for love. The John And Delenn Site has a hyperlinked time line tracing their relationship from 2259 to "the present," plus news, video clips, downloads, and essays celebrating their romance. If, on the other hand, you believe that Sheridan is "an incredibly lame Earthforce captain" who is not fit to kick the boots off the "simply exquisite" Delenn, join the crusade at Delenn Deserves Better. Among the site creator's nany arguments: "Would you want to marry someone who had a Vorlon inside them?"
www.johndelenn.com has four stars.
www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/9060 also has four stars.
Delenn Deserves Better was my site.

Today, I watched "The Isle of Man" (1958), another delight from the Baim Collection and @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social. letterboxd.com/katemonkey/f... I had to make another poster, but, instead, let me show you the screenshot I took of the Manx kitten that they spend a good minute filming.

A little tuxedo Manx kitten is on a table, meowing at the camera.

Today, I watched "Pete Murray Takes You To Coventry" (1983), a delightful little Harold Baims film, recorded off of @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social. letterboxd.com/katemonkey/f... (Also, I made a new poster for it for @letterboxd.social. BEHOLD!)

A poster for "Pete Murray Takes You To Coventry", with screenshots of the various wonders of Coventry, including a Mercia Sound DJ, the sign for Watch Close, the moving Lady Godiva town clock, the Coventry Market, a bartender, and the Lady Godiva Fruit Stall, that is very run down and missing letters.

I think I need to renounce my British citizenship, because I've never felt so American than when I saw this in the Morrisons freezer section and whispered, "How DARE you call this Americana."

A frozen banofee pie at Morrisons. The packaging also says it's an "Americana Edition", which is wrong, because banofee is a British monstrosity.

There is nothing better than seeing a company who decided you weren't good enough for them completely fuck up a basic-ass email.

Screenshot of an email sent out to people where, rather than a person's name, or a default generic statement, it says "Hi [FNAME],"

Today, I took a random "bad print out of fan art on canvas" someone gave me as a gift like over a decade ago, a *bunch* of @shiftythrifting.bsky.social stickers, and created... An Ode To Shiftiness. A multimedia collage on canvas, 2026.

A rectangle of canvas covered in stickers, mostly the bright orange kind that go on deli and meat counter products in supermarkets, such as "Family Pack", "Hard Boiled Eggs", "Breasts", "Boneless", and "Aged for Extra Flavor", as well as a few prescription bottle stickers. There are also bright metallic shiny USDA Beef-related stickers, two Shop Shifty stickers, and two red circles that say "No" on them. In the centre is a possum eating its own tail.

Did you know that the Internet Archive has old colouring books on it? Did you know that they're PDFs? Did you know that you could take those PDFs and make tiny zines with pictures from said colouring books? Am I taking this information and applying it in a way that you all expect of me? YES

A tiny 8-page zine made out of a sheet of A4 folded into eighths. On the cover, it says "Dune Coloring Book: Abridged", with all the details of the original Dune (1984) colouring book. The illustration to colour is of Paul fighting Feyd.

Today I re-watched "Liberace's Easter Special" (1955) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Encore, and added it to @letterboxd.social as well, so all of you can add it to your Letterboxd watched list too. (And look at the poster I made for it!) letterboxd.com/katemonkey/f...

A poster for Liberace Easter Special, with him and his baby grand piano in silhouette and his signature in front of him, and three pictures from the show - in clockwise: him while playing the piano and smiling, him looking up soulfully next to a stained glass window while holding a book, and him smiling at the camera while holding his mother's arm.
