UK folks, THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR is a monthly Kindle deal for November: just 99p! Often this sort of deal leads to price-matching at other online retailers, too. Happy reading!

You know, reading up about Mark Twain losing fortunes on bad business ventures and then recouping his losses by just writing another book really shows how far we've fallen, where now shitty ventures are rewarded and book authors fight for every penny...

Toad spins around, dizzy, head hurting. From "The Story" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

“I hope that if I bang my head against the wall, it will help me to think of a story,” said Toad.

Sunset tonight.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are staring up at an unseen moth sitting on their ceiling. Green: Hey ceiling moth, are you going to start paying rent? Blue raises an eyebrow in doubt as the ceiling moth speaks. Ceiling moth: I already gave you my firstborn. Blue: What's that supposed to mean? Blue and Green look at each other in concern as the moth replies cheerily. Ceiling moth: Check your pantry. Opening the pantry door, Blue and Green draw back in shock and disgust as they are partially obscured by an overwhelming cloud of flour moths that pours out.

The cover of the book WOMAN ALIVE by Susan Ertz. Illustrated with a drawing by Tom Gauld in shades of reds and pinks which shows a retro-futuristic city. In the arched door of a tall tower stands a female stick figure. Stairs lead down, through a layer of clouds to lower levels and tunnels from which a crowd of male stick figures emerges.

I drew this cover for WOMAN ALIVE from @manderleypress.bsky.social "A forgotten #sci-fi #dystopian classic, first published 90 years ago and now reissued with an introduction by Graham Norton". Preorder it now: www.manderleypress.com/shop/p/womanalive

According to a medieval Irish legal text on cats called Catslechtae (Cat-Sections), if a cat is able to purr and to catch mice, it’s worth three cows and if it’s only able to purr, it’s worth one cow and a half.

A wide angle image of the night sky is punctuated by a radio telescope on the lower left. Two bands of light run through the sky: the Milky Way and zodiacal light. The bands intertwine like a double helix. Near the top is an orange orb that is a totally eclipsed moon. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Image of Yor Forger from Spy x Family with a very awkward smile and no idea what she's supposed to do.

There is something incredibly relatable, for me, about Yor's (from Spy x Family) ongoing struggle to figure out how to be a "normal"/conforming person and not just pretend to be one, while having no idea who or how to ask to acquire those "skills" as an adult.

A reminder that Slippery Creatures is on sale everywhere just for the weekend!

Great tit sitting on a pine branch.

Crows flying low over the sea surface, fighting over a small fish the other one has.

Little birds on branches of a small tree, eating.

I don't usually photograph birds and definitely not with my phone, as it's too slow for it, but this tit stood still for long enough for me to photograph it. 😀 There were also crows fighting over a fish and some other little birds that I didn't recognise.

Autumnal colors at Seiryoji Temple in the Sagano area of Kyoto, Japan.
