I don’t think i’ve ever seen a Threads message in any of my Lemmy / Mastodon feeds. Perhaps I’m not mixing in the right circles?

Oh wow, your art is beautiful. It’s like what I imagine the gold plates on Voyager would look like if they were designed by Moebius.

Yes, I think we can all be thankful that all of the major British political parties were united on the need to support Ukraine.
