Very important content for those who love libraries.
It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and earlier today, we shared an article by Cat Rector @catrector.com about getting books into libraries.
Now, we have an article with Cat herself, to give her a chance to talk about her own books.

I have books to write and people to take care of. I don’t have time to get Covid or a cold!

These were all a lot of fun, playing around with crazy colours and very dramatic compositions.

ok but let's say we want to go *down* the stairs and disappear into the earth for a while to commune with old gods and let the above-world pass me by?
Want to walk into and through an actual Iron Age house…and UP THE STAIRS?
Of course you bloody do.
Come with me.

Far too excited to wait for #HillfortsWednesday

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

If it's a true animal, nah. Animals can't be evil. They can be mean or aggressive, but imo evil requires enough intelligence to know the extreme impact of something evil and then decide they don't give a sh!t.
But when you get into supernatural animals, sure.
