Pen drawing of a yard leading off a city street. On the right is a former industrial building with a taking in door on the upper floor which has a wall mounted crane by the side. Franklin's Yard, Fossgate, York.

Pen and watercolour of two grotesques built into a stone wall. St Martin-le-Grand Church, Coney Street, York.

Colour pencil drawing of the goddess Minerva serving as a shop sign from 1801.

It is so goddamn perfect out in Cambridge today. Here's your plan: 1. Wander to your local bookstore 2. Buy a book on a whim. (Don't overthink it, don't make it hard) 3. Get a tasty beverage 4. Set up somewhere outside & read for a bunch 5. Remember you deserve joy

"What are the peasants' demands?" the king asked. "Fair taxes, stronger rights, fewer privileges for nobles." "Bollocks! Send knights out to disperse them." "They have dragons, sire." "What?" "The dragons claim a more equal society is more stable and prosperous." "They hoard countries now?"

Everything is terrible but books are good. Especially books written by real people. Talk about your books. Show us your art. Let us see the cool stuff you make. You need it but we need it too. Art helps maker and receiver get their heads above the rough, churning waters of reality. No shame in it.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

New idea just dropped: a cat library. Like a cat cafe, but with books. Read your library book with a cat in your lap.

No amount of hard work will ever earn you sleep that good. 🐾

A cozy illustration of a tiny black cat sleeping upside down on a large, fluffy bed piled high with colorful pillows. The cat is completely relaxed, with its paws in the air and a peaceful smile. A window beside the bed reveals a dark blue evening sky. Above the scene, the text reads: “No matter how hard you worked or how tired you got, you’ll never sleep as well as a cat who just did absolutely nothing all day.” The soft purple and pastel tones create a warm, calm, and comforting atmosphere.

spotted some curly kale in between the calendula (I thought the snails had gotten it all) and harvested my first tomatoes of the season in the backyard. and something’s been gnawing on my aubergine plant…
