hello my loves.
welcome to many, many new patrons. it’s wonderful to have you here. be at home.
greetings from london. it was neil‘s 59th birthday today. i posted this on thee social mediae:
happy 59th birthday, @neilhimself. you are the most wonderful, lost in space, marmite-consuming, handsome, ambitious, shy, expansive, hangry, multi-pocketed, gentle, fierce, introverted, extroverted, tea-worshipping, afraid, beautiful, confused, loving, bizarre and wonderful man i know.
i love you so much.
and so many others do, too.
hang in there, sweet man. (photo taken at the clutes in camden by charlie clift).
......
and then i pointed out that i used wonderful twice. i’m tired. and it must be true.
.........
then this.
for his birthday, @neilhimself wants
1) “proper” fish & chips for lunch
2) dinner in camden
and, apparently
3) to make up a story for ash about “animals with enormous bottoms”
why can’t every day be like this
.....
we spent the whole day with ash and maddy gaiman, neil’s you fear from his upper batch, and her sweet boyfriend kevin.
how sweet are these three on the tube.
.......
i am behind. it’s fine. but real.
i am very behind in my life on a lot of fronts.
i am finding it incredibly therapeutic to be doing a 1,000 piece puzzle on the floor of this unfurnished house in london. it is bringing me a strange calm. i haven’t done a puzzle this big, alone, ever. why would i? do not ask how it happened. but it is bringing me peace and i am glad to have found this puzzle.
i am about to post a lot of things, i’m behind on the althing/state of all things, and there is actual art and writing coming your way - but i wanted to do something i’ve never done before because it feels like time.
i am about to open a season of heavy asking. i am about to ask you a lot of things, from silly questions about merch to heavier questions in the personal and political departments. there is about to be a lot of me asking you.
before i begin
is there anything you want to ask me?
there are almost 16.000 of you. chances are definite i won’t be able to respond to all of your comments.
but i will do what i can, and please note that you can upvote things if you find a like-minded commenter.
even if i don’t answer - i am reading, and it will give me a sense of where you are and what you are thinking before i start my own season of asking.
ask me. what is. on your. mind. about me, about patreon, about the tour, about any stuff.
oh; and also remember that we are a community. you are very free to respond to anybody else’s asks if you have things to share and say. we are friends here.
ok go.
and remember i love you.
