Well I have this persistent pain down my right hand side. I'm assuming it's faulty diodes and not a trapped nerve. That would make me human, right?

One thing that's underrated as you get older is waking up after a solid night's sleep to discover you've developed a random muscle strain caused by sleeping.

Doctor: You shouldn't clean out your ears with Q-tips. Me: Yeah obviously, anyone who does that is an idiot. In my head: Except me. I clean my ears with Q-tips the smart way

A split graphic. On the left the book cover for a horror anthology, Blood In The Bricks, depicts a sinister figure with a rat's head standing in a dirty lane with a spray can in his hand. The tones are yellow and brown with splashes of red. On the right, "Nineteen chilling tales of urban folk horror" and several glowing endorsement quotes.
It's officially launch day for Blood In The Bricks! It's folk horror, but right here in our towns and cities, written by some of my absolute favourite contemporary writers. Get it now (or They'll pay you a visit).

Cover with blurbs 1: The cover of Wiz Duo book 3 with stories by Ruthanna Emrys and Andrew Knighton. The images are an old, wooden house seen against a mountainous background for Ruthanna's story; and a hiker walking towards the sunset in Andrew's. Beside it are quotes from other authors: βTwo gorgeously written novellas exploring the ways that our connections to the land and to each other can be broken but also mended, these stories tell of bargains and sacrifices, and ultimately of hopeful futures.β β Sarah Brooks βBeautiful and haunting.β β Anna Smith Spark βBeautiful in cadence, powerful in imagery, gentle in spirit, Andrew Knightonβs work takes your heartβs ghosts on dances of things lostβ β Danie Ware βA story that reminds us of the permanence of dreams and the determination of the human spirit. Youβll never walk Britainβs pathways the same again.β β Charlotte Bond
Ghosts linger amid the fields of England, waiting to be summoned by passing feet. As a walker faces the spectres of his own grief, he's drawn into a struggle between the paths connecting us & the boundaries that cut us apart, in Walking a Wounded Land.

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd). The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left. Art by Josh Arklin.
Today's update features a real-life Welsh princess who eloped with a young king to help lead a guerilla army, died fighting the English, and may have also been a notable author.

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.
