hi hello I have been reminded of Sarah Rees Brennan's In Other Lands, which I am about to start rereading, which makes today the perfect day to tell YOU to also read In Other Lands. I shall now enumerate the reasons that In Other Lands is a perfect human book.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Worked normal day shift + the bar at an event, got home just before midnight aching all over, had a cup of tea in bed - get up briefly to go to the loo before I put the lights out and hopefully collapse into blissful unconsciousness, and this is what I come back to 😂

A black cat sits semi-upright reclining against a pillow in the centre position of a bed, having clearly occupied the space his human has briefly left vacant. He appears unrepentant.

Every time I see one of these headlines, I’m torn between two reactions - one is deep suspicion that I’m falling for a trap by reacting at all, and the other incredulity at a sentence that essentially reads ‘Arsonist warns fires are deadly, continues to fling gasoline everywhere!’

A small grey cat sits on the arm of a sofa with her tail tucked neatly around her rear legs. Her front paws and upper body are in the classic loaf position, but on the knee of the person taking to picture, forming a disgruntled cat bridge from sofa arm to lap

"The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it.
