Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it)

A wide landscape shot of a green field and lots of blue sky with clouds. A small tree is in the left foreground and there's a row of trees between the grass and the sky in the background.

Just visited my new favourite art space in London, the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. They’ve got a lovely selection of his amazing originals, plus excellent illustration shows from Sophy Hollington and Murugiah, and a fascinating comics exhibition curated by Paul Gravett. qbcentre.org.uk

Suicide prevention is not telling suicidal people to call a number for cops to take them to the psych ward. It’s being community for people. People suffer alone. You abandon your sad & mentally ill & lonely friends because they bum you out. We’re the ones with the duty of caring for each other.

The immense popularity of “Calvin and Hobbes,” often called “the last great newspaper comic,” can risk obscuring its many inspirations & antecedents. In both style & content, the strip is very well-versed in the rich history of comics and often pays tribute to its influences. 1/12 #CalvinAndHobbes

'February' from Eliot Hodgkin's 'The Months, 1951. Other than a succulent stalk of forced rhubarb, and a florist's tulip, garden flowers now predominate. There's early primula allionii, dainty snowdrops, iris reticulata, celandine, sprays of daphne and winter jasmine, and two gladiolus bulbs.

6 January is Epiphany, the Twelfth Day after Christmas, a feast of manifestation when the light is shown to the world. In some old lore twelve straw fires were lit on this day to drive out the spirit of death. Like the first buds & flowers we release the past and welcome the new.

A soft-toned collage of late-winter plants: dried seed heads, hazel catkins dangling from a branch, and several tightly furled buds covered in pale down. Hints of green and gold appear among the browns and greys, suggesting the first promise of new growth.

Yes. And translators, badly paid, have been trying to make people aware of this, but they have only a small platform. Need writers and readers to be aware and speak out. All my foreign language contracts going forward will stipulate that a real person translates.

And the results are in! After carefully reviewing the results of a national poll the Board of Directors of the Society for Canadian English (SCE) has determined that this year’s Canadian Word of the Year (CWOTY), the first of its kind, will be “maplewashing.”

"Canadian Word of the Year" on a red banner. Beneath the banner reads "maplewashing" and "the deceptive practice of making things look more Canadian than they actually are"
