Title: How to focus on writing your book There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read: Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark). Put them in a drawer. Lock the drawer. Throw away the key. Leave the house. Do not look back. Keep to backroads and hedgerows. Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes) Sleep by day. Forage in the evening. Write by the light of the moon When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Thanks for the reminder, Gazlowe

Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall went as well as you’d expect. 9 people were removed, 3 arrested and one is facing a misdemeanor for using vulgar language. Really? That’s ironic because Marge herself is as vulgar as it gets.

Now we know who the inspiration for Voldemort was.

Shoutout to RFK Jr for letting me know I could check the “autistic” box on my tax forms.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Yep. Perfectly put. In essence, tyranny.👇

Knowing that things are going to get worse for everyone but not knowing when new horrible things will occur or what shape they’ll take is really bad for our health

It’s been a minute since someone asked me my nationality and at this point I’m just gonna lie to each one. This time I’m Samoan.

It seems like Elon Musk has a breeder kink. FUCKING WEIRDO

Just saw a group of school children booing a passing Tesla, and it wasn’t even a cyber truck

A comic called "how to draw goose neck". In panel 1 the goose's neck is very short and is labeled "no". In panel 3 the goose's neck is the right size and is labeled "yes". In panel 3 the goose's neck is longer and is labeled "no". In panel 4 the goose's neck is extremely long and terrifyingly snakelike and it's labeled "yessss".

A comic called The Canada Goose: A Role Model For Our Time. In panel 1, the goose is labeled "assertive" and is hissing furiously. In panel 2 it's "brave" and is standing up to a fearsome swan. In panel 3 it's "good parent" and is standing up to a dog while protecting its goslings. In panel 3 it's "team player" and is flying in a beautiful V. In panel 5 there's a close up of its head and it's labeled "crisp, modern aesthetic". In panel 6 it's eating grass and pooping and labeled "high fiber diet".

There's a lot of talk about Canada Geese and whether they're good and my answer is Yes.

always a good time to give a bookish kid who thinks magic is cool the Earthsea books

The only way to save America is to impeach Donald Trump immediately.
