PSA: Greek Anthology “When I’m dead, the earth can be f***ed by fire. It means nothing to me since I’ll be totally fine.” Ἐμοῦ θανόντος γαῖα μιχθήτω πυρί· οὐδὲν μέλει μοι· τἀμὰ γὰρ καλῶς ἔχει.

“Just we two” Postcard from my collection, mailed 1909. This is by C.E. Bullard, my favorite of the Victorian/Edwardian cat photographers. He seemed to genuinely love cats and didn't restrain them or cram them into tiny costumes.
Black and white photo of two white cats on a cushion or folded blanket. A shorthaired adult cat is on the right while a fluffy long haired white kitten is snuggled into her on the left. They appear to be a cozy mother and kitten, cuddled and relaxed.

“Frog,” said Toad, “if I wash my dishes right now, then I will not have to wash them tomorrow, will I?” “No,” said Frog. “You will not have to.” Toad washed and dried his dishes. He put them in the cupboard.
Toad washes his dirty dishes and puts them away. What a clean Toad!

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

For #InternationalCatDay this year (8 August) a cat springs up on its hind-legs to attempt to get the pigeon held by a seated woman more than two millennia ago. Campanian lebes gamikos, attrib. to The Danaid Painter, c.340-20 BCE British Museum 1867,0508.1284 www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
(a) A female figure seated to left on a rock, with hair in a knot, wreath, earrings, necklace, bracelets, strings of beads over right shoulder and round left thigh, drapery under her; she holds out a pigeon by the wings in right hand, at which a cat springs up on its hind-legs. Before her is a female figure with hair gathered up under a beaded ampyx, earrings, necklace, bracelets, long chiton with beaded girdle, mirror in right hand; in left she holds out an apple. Above her are a taenia and a wreath; behind the first, a window.

Social media post by Sam Shopp captioned about their “most prized possession” — a used copy of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë defaced so that every mention of “Jane” is crossed out and replaced with “Spiderman” or “Spidey.” The left image shows the book’s cover, a Barnes & Noble Classics edition, with the title altered to read “SPIDER-MAN” and a Spider-Man sticker placed over the original cover artwork. The right image shows an interior page (the deathbed scene with Helen) where “Jane” has been handwritten over with “Spidey” throughout

The all-you-can-eat restaurant was introduced in Las Vegas by Herbert "Herb" Cobb McDonald in 1946.[10][11] The buffet was advertised in flyers for only one dollar, and a patron could eat "every possible variety of hot and cold entrees to appease the howling coyote in your innards".

A yellow giant swallowtail flies in for a landing on a bright pink zinnia.  Its wings are completely open and you can see every detail of the underside.  Background is blurry greens.
