A four-panel comic with three panels across the top half and one bigger one as the bottom half. 1. A woman stands in front of a dark window exclaiming "it's pitch black out!" 2. She turns halfway toward the viewer with a freaked-out look on her face and says "what TIME is it?" 3. Turning to look over her shoulder, she asks "IS IT MIDNIGHT?" 4. She has both hands on her head and her face is now all a wide-open mouth as she wails, "IT FEELS LIKE MIDNIGHT!" A man has joined her in the panel and stands with his arms crossed, saying, "it's 5:27 pm"

tw pet death

We had to let go of our little warrior princess who fought a brain tumor, lymphoma, and being sixteen with everything she had until she couldn't anymore. We're going to miss her a lot.

This is the last picture I took of her.

Peter: the conflict of interest statement is almost as long as the abstract
My brain:
A still of Michael from The Good Place with the caption "It's a human insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now" but "human" has been replaced by "academic"

Happy 16th birthday-ish to this scrungly little warrior princess who refuses to let two kinds of cancer be the boss of her.
A brown tabby lies under a blue blanket decorated with elephants. Another elephant blanket, this one pink, is folded up and being used as a pillow. She looks cozy.

@alexandrarowland.bsky.social spitting straight truths in Running Close to the Wind (which I just finished and LOVED).
"Having no money brings a whole host of problems," Julian said. Avra could just see thar he was stroking Teveri's knuckles with his thumbs as he squeezed their hands. "But having *too much* money does too. It sucks your soul dry, eventually. Even a sweet-natured and well-intentioned person starts making decisions based on protecting the money rather than helping other people. It becomes a burden--a god you're shackled to, one that's even more difficult to abandon than the others you've already turned away from."

A brown tabby cat asleep on with her head on a folded pink blanket. She's covered with a brown shawl so all that shows is her head A different brown tabby flopped on her side on a carpeted floor with a look on her face that indicates she has Seen Some Shit (or she wants to be fed)

Taking a brief break from my insanely long tbr of new (to me) books to check off the "reread a childhood favorite" box on the 2025 book bingo I'm doing
A white hand holds a copy of Anne McCaffrey's DRAGONSONG against a white wall. The book is a paperback and shows a girl with red hair in a green dress standing on a beach surrounded by small dragons

Two enamel pins propped up against the lid of a jewelry box. One pin is of a medieval marginalia showing a nun picking penises off a tree. The second is a medieval illustration of a wyvern curled up with the tip of his tail shoved in one ear.

A screenshot from the Libby app. Text reads "about 7 weeks wait. 2 copies in use. 6 people waiting in total. 3 people waiting per copy." A large pink button says PLACE HOLD.

Had an idea for a fluffy, banter-heavy romantasy so I bought a new notebook to get started on planning. Like you do. #writing
A spiral notebook with a cover that ombres from glittery pink at the bottom to pale lavender at the top. Written across it in silver are the words "grace & grit"

Everybody meet Tabby. A couple years ago, someone dumped her in our neighborhood and she immediately tried to move in with us. We weren't in a position to take her then, but we fed her and watched out for her. Today, she got a clean bill of health and now lives with us. #cats
