Geology Murder

Comic. [two people in labcoats look at body pierced with blade draped over bench] PERSON 1: We found him lying uncomformably on the lab bench. I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.

Who would win, Agent 47 or Agent 007?

I'm sure it's been debated before but I'm lazy and am two cocktails in.

Got my limited edition of The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera @vajra.me ! It is an absolutely gorgeous book; the gold and purple are beautiful.

Read this book if you haven't already.
The Saint of Bright Doors slipcover and hardbound book. The book is golden yellow with intricate purple design. The purple pattern has a metallic luster in the light, see the upper right corner. The edges (not shown) are the same lovely purple shade. The paper feels amazing. Kudos to Inkstone for the stellar interior packaging and protection. The exterior box was in terrible shape, overseas shipping can be harsh. Looking forward to my re-read with this edition. Signed edition #76

Black cat with big yellow eyes in a blanket cave. Her paws are curled under her. Y'all. This cat is insisting she wants to be on my lap, under the blanket, because she is the coldest cat in the world. She has never ever been warm in her entire life, there are icicles hanging off her whiskers, and she has frostbitten toes.

Sleeping black cat. She is on a red blanket. There are toe beans, curled feetsies, and whiskers going on here. She is curled up with her chin facing up, with her back foot completely past her head on the left. The sun is shining in the off-sceeen window, so her fur is also shiny. A fang tip is just barely visible.
