a man in a vest and tie is making a surprised face Alt: Fourteenth Doctor played by David Tennant wearing a navy waistcoast over a white, collared shirt and a lighter-blue tie. He is dancing from foot to foot with ecstatic glee in the TARDIS.

Excited to say that I am making progress on a writing project I've been dreaming of publishing since I was 10 years old. The third draft of my science-fiction novel is underway and I can't wait to release it into the world the end of next year.

Cover of a novel. It's a bright, teal colour with a compass symbol wrapped around the title "Earthea" which is underlined by a magic staff, "The First Four Books" underneath and "Ursula K. Le Guin" written in the shape of a smile. Above the compass is a silhouetted drawing of a young boy, with foliage, mountains, a craggy sea and a night sky full of stars above it all. Below the compass, is the silhouette of a woman flanked by two dragons facing inward. There are two quoted opinions of the novel; one at the top reading: "One of the major works of fantasy in this century" (by Observer); and one at the bottom reading: "Majestic" (by Telegraph).

I finally completed Earthsea, from one of my favourite authors, Ursula K. Le Guin. Surprised myself that I've not read this, considering how much I adored The Left Hand of Darkness, but it is truly epic, emotional and prescient.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

Colorful clouds of gas and dust crowd the image. Deep red and orange clouds surround the image's edges, with some violet in the upper left portion. Near the left middle, a region of teal and yellow shines.

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.

A colorful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. This translucent cloud of gas holds wispy and thin filaments with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red, and yellow colors mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Scattered across the colorful nebula are bright and point-like foreground and background stars. The background is black.

the universe wishes you a very happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈🌌
