FFS. The slop that Meta serve up, yet they delete your entire post? W*nker algorithm. Sending love to you and the curse of a million papercuts to the person responsible for that bit of the algorithm.
The stuff that is on there, the HARM it is doing, and they delete this. You can’t even get a human to look at it, and it comes under their blanket nudity ban anyway, even though it’s an effin’ cartoon! GAAAAAAH.
Kind of cracking up that a post about trying to love your aging body is “solicitation” lol. And of course the hypocrisy of what gets to stay and what gets to go is hilariously absurd. They are not serious people over there.
loving your work Beth... always a treat ... and if necessary i am very good at shouting the beginning of the song from the excellent Ian Dury song 'Plastiow Patricia ....'
As someone whose wit, humour, and sharp observations have genuinely brightened my days more than once, I can’t say I’m surprised by this latest round of nonsense.
It’s remarkable, really - a world where the degradation of women in porn is not only tolerated but consumed at scale, yet a simple illustration celebrating softness, skin, and womanhood somehow crosses the line. The hypocrisy would be funny if it weren’t so tired.
Eye roll firmly inserted.
Thank you for continuing to be exactly who you are — thoughtful, funny, and quietly defiant in all the right ways. The internet is louder and stranger than ever, but voices like yours still cut through.
You made someone smile (aged 52 and loving my body like I never did at 15) all the way over here in Australia.
Thank you for such a lovely comment. Nonsense has recently become one of my favourite words and there is so much of it about. I am trying to keep a sense of humour, but like you say, things (and me) have become a bit tired....Much love x

I'm so with you. 💜

All of this! The female body is not innately sexual, and treating it as if it is every time is not helping in the way they think it is….
Thank you for sending it by email. Now we all have it for eternity - yay xx
You are very welcome, Ann. I knew you’d appreciate it :) x
Ohh these drawings are so good! Hooray for spicy orange softness…
Thank you so much Jane!

Was the cartoon good? I remember him in books, I loved the illustrations, there was always stuff hidden in them.
I mean, it’s a deep cut, but I remember loving it.
Too hot for Instagram - love it, and love your drawings 🙏😂🍊
Thank you Simone! x
This came up in my feed and I loved it and subscribed immediately. So yay for Instagram and it's obnoxiousness. 💃
Hello! And yay! Nice to meet you and thank you for loving it enough to subscribe.

Thank you! And that is an excellent life skill, must come in handy quite a bit!
I loved that post! Glad to have it in my inbox now 🧡
Thanks Sovay. It seemed to connect with people and then POOF! gone! Happy to get it out there again x
