Cool, my current bookmark is a ticket from the Magritte Museuem in Brussels.
An audio guide ticket poking out of a book (Emily Wilson, Crossing The Wine Dark Sea). The ticket has a picture of the Magritte painting Black Magic on it, which is far too naked to be fully shown on Bluesky.

Two things, firstly, our cat, called Loki, stopped pretending to be dead and came home after being missing for 3 days. Even better we are on holiday and our apartment has air con. 19 degrees
Loki: A little fucker of a tabby cat who pretended to be dead and gone before sauntering home and going to sleep. In this picture he is reposed on a note book with a paw wrapped around a pencil. He doesn't care that I walked across fields checking hedgerows looking for him, even though he's not my cat and I don't have a cat.

The tragedy of pet ownership is that our beloved companions can never speak to us, so we cannot truly understand what they want.

My cat sat on a speaker. Why is this good news, you might ask? Well it means that I can present you with a floofer on a sub-woofer.

Today's Oxfam haul, largely for my 8 year old who I'll have to bribe to read any of it.
A pile of books comprising of Mortal Engines, the Wizards of once and the Series of Unfortunate Events books 5 to 11. You're right. No human being would stack books like this.
