Happy Halloween! 🎃

You'll have to show this off next time you get a Starbucks order!

November is for reading or: a month of sheer luxurious intellectual pleasure

I am trying something in November. National novel-reading month, basically. It is the PERFECT month for reading (at least in the Western hemisphere).

If a villain did this in a book, it would be derided as too on-the-nose.

A carved pumpkin of the Pokémon Gengar

Parent: Love the pumpkin, he's mad about Pokémon!
Dad, who carved this on request from his 33-year-old daughter: oh really, I wonder what that's like.

Nothing terrifies me more that the idea of driving home at 6pm on Halloween. Like, it gives me anxiety every year.

He escaped!

Sharing a few illustrations I did for the Cinderella book! 🥹🩵 #art

The only thing that would have made this better if there was animation for him to go physically running after every ball if it is thrown in his vicinity.

Have you played fetch with your human yet today?

I only recognised the shiny sound because of your Shiny Fletchling video!

*heard noise in-game I had never heard before but could only be a shiny*
*shiny is not in my immediate vicinity*
*find it but how do I get off this damn roof*
What happens next will surprise you!

A photograph of a custom player characters in Pokémon ZA, outside a cafe. The trainer has long brown hair, glasses, a short maroon skirt, and a white blouse.

You could almost see this, without my name on it, and be like 'yep, that's Apple.'

I will try and use it to angle for a pay rise at my next performance review, but to be fair, the part I was most interested in was getting the children involved in nature.

Just means that I can go around the nursery suggesting things like 'hey, should we turn off the lights when we're not using a room?' And everyone will nod their heads and never do it.

"What is a sustainability lead? Think of this person as your setting's eco-champion! A sustainability lead doesn't need to be an expert in climate science or environmental policy. They just need a passion for making a difference an eye for opportunities, and the support of their team. Their role is to coordinate your sustainability efforts. from small wins like reducina waste and saving energy to bigger plans that help children engage with and understand the world around them. What is a climate action plan? A climate action plan is your roadmap for creating a more sustainable setting. It's not about reinventing the wheel or stretching limited budgets; it's about identifying what you can do and planning how to do it. This could include: Reducing single-use plastics • Improving recycling efforts Saving energy and water Adding more outdoor learning or nature-based play Teaching children about caring for the planet in simple, age-appropriate ways.

This might be the most Millennial thing ever, but I've just received a new job role at work without an increase in pay. Anyway, I am the nursery's sustainability leader now.

Casting for Celebrity Traitors S2 is getting ridiculous

Veni Vidi Vitchi :o

A map of Ferelden, the setting of the first Dragon Age game

The City of Kirkwall, the setting for the second Dragon Age game

World Map from Dragon Age: Inquisition, featuring the lands of Galar and Orlais

So, Legends Arceus had us exploring a whole region, ZA focuses on a large but compact city... I know where this is going.

Galar/Kalos double bill, anyone?

A baseball cap with the mega evolution symbol, a mug, enamel pins and a diorama with Tepig, Totodile and Chikorita, an umbrella with blue Pokéballs around it and figurines of Mega Charizard X and Y

Opened up umbrella, showing Mega Lucario, Gardevoir, Ampharos and both of Charizard's Mega Forms.

Okay I just thought you guys should see exactly what the UK got as a Legends Z-A preorder bonus. Mug, baseball cap, three figurines, enamel pins and an umbrella.

Forgive the three years of bad luck but you also have to see the inside of the umbrella

Why don't airports provide bookshelves where people can swap books for free as standard? Surely it's the ideal situation where some people will have books they don't want to bring home, meanwhile some people there might be desperate for reading material.

Who wants to invest with me on a chain of airport lounges called the Four Hour Early Club?

It'll have a free library!

Three girls gather around in the center of the painting as the witch (middle) casts a magical spell in Scarlett’s room (vampire.) The character to her right is Frankenstein’s daughter. The character sitting by the window is a vampire. We see books, pages, drinks, spread across the floor.

RIP Win10. I'm never upgrading 😭

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

Shame there was no-one Who could Doctor a solution for that

Fun fact, the Pokémon Exeggcute was going to have an alternate evolution in Galar called Eggsgerminate. This would have been a robot with egg-shaped spots on it's hull and a telescope-like branch coming from it's head.
