Much as I love Obama you are still replacing a centuries old name that existed before either of our nations with something US-an. No thanks.

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.

Have you considered Gander? It's Canadian, on Canadian server, terms of service based on our constitution. They just released it for web browser (I've been on it as a Beta tester but posted infrequently because I hate using my phone). And there are AI detectors in place.

I used to haunt Bakka books in its Queen St location back in the 80s. In a curious connection, it's currently housed in a building off Spadina where one of my best friends lived in an apartment on the second floor. And another good friend of mine now lives a couple of blocks away!

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

People are calling it a climate change book. I liked it for the aspect you highlight, more than for the (what I thought was) rather minimal world-building.

Xander was never one of my favourite characters, but Nicholas Brendan made him as 3D as possible. I feel sad that his life was such a struggle, and sad for the loss of something part of something great.

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

I saw it in 2009, can't remember the theatre, but in London. SUCH a beautiful play. The final scene with them dancing and the shadows on the wall has such an impact IRL, much more than just reading it.

A really fine discussion of one of my favourite authors. Without mentioning Blake, Saltzman-Cohen made me start considering that connection, which had not occurred to me before.

"I’d argue that, as well as expressing our frustrations with the disenchanted world, [fantasy is] also our best means for capturing the ways in which the world remains enchanted, for all our strenuous buffering." - Francis Spufford www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...
