While the below is true, the fastest tell is actually that no publisher is going to reach out to you to ask about your work. Ever. They just aren't.

Day 12 of ‘Tober Art Prompt List No Pressure Roulette takes us to Bramble for Peachtober! I mentioned on day 1 that the Gnome Ghusbands were gathering berries in the bramble hedgerows, and now they’re going to have months’ worth of delicious jam. #peachtober26 #cuteart #gnomes
Watercolour illustration of two gnomes making blackberry jam in their cottage kitchen. The gnome with the red hat and grey beard is stirring the berries into jam, while the blue hat gnome with the bog blonde moustache holds one berry, which is very large because gnomes are just little creatures. Behind them the hearth is warming, ready to cook the berries.

I know the popular Book Birds are often owls and corvids, and I love owls and corvids, but I thought it would be nice to give another, lesser known bird, its own bookplate. I see coal tits flitting around the trees in my neighbourhood, and they make me so happy. ko-fi.com/samikelsh/shop #cuteart
Watercolour bookplate illustration of a coal tit perched atop a stack of three pocket hardcover books. Beneath this art the words “ex libris” and a line for the book owner to write in their name.

My month of ‘Tober Art Prompt List No Pressure Roulette returns to #badtober2026 and today’s prompt is an animal :3 OwO XD and I hope this goldcrest (scientific name Regulus regulus) captures that energy. They are the smallest bird in the UK at 8 centimetres long and weigh around 6g! #cuteart #birb
Watercolour illustration of a golrcrest perched on a pine branch in the woods. It is a small bird with mostly greyish beige plumage, with darker brown wings and tail, and a vibrant yellow streak of plumage on top of their head.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

A digital portrait of Kim Taehyung from BTS. His black hair is messy and falls into his eyes, his lips are slightly parted, and his outfit is white and blue with ruffles. He is wearing rings and earrings, and the background is a messy purple. A digital portrait of three plushies. The biggest is a fluffy looking black and white panda but there is also a small pink rabbit and an even smaller yellow and black bee. They sit atop a golden brown cushion, on a background of purple. A digital portrait of Park Jimin from BTS. His black hair is parted in the middle showing his forehead and falling into his dark eyes. His chin is in his hand and his fingers are against his full mouth. His black shirt is falling off one shoulder to reveal a black tank top underneath. He wears a necklace, various rings, and unmatched earrings. The background is a sort of ruddy brown.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Numerous people have already been pointing out for days that western reporting on this is an embarrassingly inaccurate game of telephone, so I'll instead reiterate that it doesn't cost that much to just have a real translator on standby to vet such reports. I know budgets are tight, but come on.

A collection of frogs for you in these trying times.
Five digital drawings of "frogs". One is inspired by an Ouroboros, another seems to have a carved turnip for a head, one is a somewhat scrungly witch, another wears a flowery shirt while drinking from a coconut, and finally one of them is "Bimble". Bimble looks like if a rock tried very hard to be a frog and almost succeeded.
