Thanks!! I'll check it out!

These books are so much fun, so clever, and just innocently playful. They have absolutely no agenda beyond compassion and friendship. Buy one for the kids you know! 🧡🧡

ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM

*That’s* the headline.

(Unfortunately there’s hardly any news outlet left to run it 😭)

I need a wall calendar for 2026, and I would love to buy one direct from an artist. Anyone know any Kiwi or Aussie artists who do calendars??

I hope you find it a pleasant stress-relief!

Oh I'm so sorry!

Well I also read a great warm and kind book recently. Mr. Collins in Love by @leewelchwriter.bsky.social You might try that one. Almost nothing bad happens, just good characters trying to do their best despite their limitations.

The Crows by @cmrosens.com was really strange and creative, creepy and unsettling and sometimes gross. Yet weirdly sexy? I just picked up the sequel.

This book is so amazing and you all should definitely read it!!

I loved it, too!! It has a rich, unusual, and fully realized setting - this fantasy Meso America alt history- that is just stunning. And the characters are fascinating people (and really cool and badass in their own ways).

Yeah, I just want to shred it to add to another dish. But I thought it should cook all the way through.

A chicken breast which has been cut into. The outside is done but the inside is still pink and undercooked.

Trying to parboil chicken and f-ing it up 🤦🏽‍♀️ In my defense, it's the first time I've tried it...

You also have to pour the water in your mug?!? This is a lot of steps so early in the morning...

You can put the tea bag in your mug. You can put water in the kettle. But you can have tea until you BOIL THE JUG!!

Well I hope you come up with some good stuff you both like! 👍

This looks so good!!

Looks like a big meteorite hit in Australia, enough to shake houses and register on seismographs! I hope no one was hurt, and I hope they recover a cool space rock so we can all look at it!! 🕵️

Is it just me or is November a terrible month to try and write a whole novel? The end of the year is bearing down on us and there's so much to do. Why not have it in Feb or March when there's nothing else on?

Amazing!!!

Oh yeah, then it's like an artistic decision of the artist. 🤔

A cat tree with three levels. On the top is a relaxed cat spread out on a blanket, and in the middle is a smaller cat sitting like a little loaf of bread with her feet tucked under.

The day after #Caturday and here's two cats on a tree, Kip and Twyla.

I don't care for it. But she prefers quick-tempo songs and it just appeals to her as something that sounds a little otherwordly/unnatural. Maybe that's what appeals to you, @nnedi.bsky.social too?

It's called Nightcore. It's sped up about 35%, like playing a 33 rpm record at 45 rpm. I only know because my 9yo listens to it almost exclusively.

😂😂

I love their style! It looks amazing.

(This is part of another Derek Guy thread, so obvs worthwhile reading the whole thing)

By his own account, Dimitry is primarily interested in business, not clothes. So you end up getting the blind leading the blind. Peterson doesn't know much about clothes and is willing to wear anything; Dimitry doesn't know much about clothes and is willing to sell anything.

A painting of a little goblin dude with a jar with smoke coming out, done in reds and oranges.

Got in one of my extremely rare art moods and wound up with a little goblin monk dude with a jar.

Awed by this process and its results. 🤯

And this amazing book is currently on sale! 🤩

And when you read it, it will look exactly like this was something I planned from the start because it's so obvious it was an underlying theme.

Writing is *weird* sometimes.
