This is a collection of the monthly frog drawing requests from stream. There is a frog with cat ears and a huge mouth, a frog holding a blanket and a teddy as if they just had a nightmare, a small frog lying face down on the ground, a plate of spaghetti with frogs instead of meatballs, and a very round opossum with little frogs riding on their back.

My little hummingbird is coming along really well! (This is a kit, not my own design.)

This is so good! Many horror stories involve death and grief (and so does this one) but what really pulled me in was the focus on the senses and art. To me, it made a much more interesting read.

As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

THREAD.

3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

World Book Day? I have books, though I don't talk about them as much as I should which means nobody buys them, but if you're into classic mysteries or dark fantasy or hopeful horror or fractured folk tales and enjoy illustrated books, I got 'em!

I truly believe one of the most poisonous ideas of our time is the thought that because someone received something good, *we* are being deprived of something. It’s anti-human, it’s antithetical to a functioning society, it’s selfish and we need to crush it out of our culture.

β€’ Reverse the $1.1 trillion in Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which are estimated to cause more than 50,000 unnecessary deaths;

"Mutation March, day 4: axolotl." Watercolor illustration of an angelic being inspired by axolotls. A pink-ish humanoid figure with hands extended, body tapering to a tail, mostly concealed behind three pairs of semi-transparent tails styled like wings wrapping around. Instead of a head, the neck branches out like the six frilly gills of an axolotl, with five blue eyes arching at the top of the gills. It softly glows against a dark watery background.

Day 4 of finding new ways to give myself more work with this project despite my efforts to also scale back.

All these tiny, precarious beings creating a cacophony that boils down to 'f me or keep the f away from that hen or I'll peck your eyes out.'
One of the moments of horror I like the most in my novella is when the MC realises his app can't identify *any* of the birds in his locsl wood.

A very cool look at the first successful expedition in Antarctica, this book provides a trove of Lowe's original black and white photographs as well as writings from explorers that contextualize the journey.

Usually it's a whopping $40, today only, this book is $5!
