At the end of the day, donโ€™t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of cinnamon rolls?

Traditional illustration made for K/S Springfever 2023, in black ink lineart and copic markers for color, of Kirk and Spock from Star Trek The Original Series. It is composed of three wide rectangular panels in sequential vertical order depicting the hanahaki disease or flowers disease. In the first panel Spock is gently holding Kirk's face and about to kiss him, they're softly crying with flowers starting to come out of their mouths, a golden one for Kirk and a lavender one for Spock. In the next panel they are kissing but the flowers are extending, their tears also morph into petals and flowers start to bloom in the corners of the panel too. Spock tightens that hold on Kirk. The third and last panel is completely covered in flowers now, hiding the lovers from view. Below it reads "The End"

Granta mourns Mario Vargas Llosa. In memory of his life and work, we have lifted the paywall on all of his writing for the magazine, from his fiction to his account of running for the presidency of Peru.

people seem to think there's an amount of cruelty and suffering that will radicalize people into action, but if they haven't already reached it by now, i'm not sure where exactly they think the line is

The simultaneous crash of the stock market and the bond market is super ominous. But also a totally foreseeable consequence of this insane tariff policy.

So is it incompetence or part of a plan to crash the economy? An increasingly important question.

a small dog wearing a black and orange bandana, collar, and leash sits on a leafy dirt path and looks up at us with large brown eyes. she's white with brown spots on her ears and eyes. she has brown speckles on her left paw, and her right paw is actually a bright orange webbed duck foot. she likes to have fun with her prosthetics.

This is Autumn. She was born without one paw. Gets along just fine with three, but still sometimes uses a prosthetic leg when she wants to blend in. 13/10

Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage (ยฃ4 UK). If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.
