Went looking for a Qiu Jin stamp in a local international stamp store, and not only found her and her contemporaries, but also all of these 😂 i love the ones featuring historic buildings along the Yangtze River, the Shaolin Temple, and especially the Chinese mythology ones

Anthropic settlement authors--I'd like to hear from any children's authors who are seeing 25% claims from the WFH illustrators who did interior illustrations for their books. beware@sfwa.org Probably another error to add to the cavalcade, but I'm trying to determine how widespread this is. Thanks!

I will never get the point of talking to Trump and not making him face reality: "You've gotten the country into disastrous military and trade wars and you're obsessing over a ballroom most people hate?" And at the very least: "Do you have any idea how tacky all this gold stuff looks to most people?"

Researchers found “striking biological similarities” between 5 illnesses once viewed as separate: ME/CFS, Long COVID, PTSD, Rheumatoid arthritis and MS. Despite different triggers—viral infection, trauma or autoimmune responses—they share fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep and autonomic dysfunction.

An image showing a press release or article headline from the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, dated Thursday 3 September 2026.
The main headline reads: "Scientists uncover shared biology behind profound fatigue in five major illnesses."
Below the headline is a photograph of a middle-aged man with a grey beard wearing a green sweater, looking exhausted and resting his head on his hand at a desk with a laptop, a glass of water, and medication packets.
A caption at the bottom states: "The findings suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as ME), long Covid, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS) may be driven by common underlying mechanisms."

Hello, @mapquest.com! “Google has also previously carried out the Trump administration’s bidding in other ways, including eliminating DEI hiring goals [and] donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund last year. So maybe we all go back to using MapQuest again?”

Coyote vs Acme is a gem of a movie. It’s funny, surprisingly touching and treats the Looney Tunes characters with love and respect. The story of corporate greed willing to put profits over harm to individuals seems to resonate more now than in 2022 when it was made. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️out of ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

the pose reminds me of our sweet saffy, who entered the peaceful void in 2020.

Medium-size orange cat is sitting on a rail made of two vertical pieces of wood. His butt is on top while his front half is between the wood pieces.

Same cat a moment later: He has pushed his front half up; his little paws can be seen below the wood pieces. He has a look of concern on his face.

Thank you, Kirkus Reviews, for the absolutely bewitching review of #NiceToEatYou! “Coroa’s artwork magnifies both the silliness and the suspense of Yin’s clever text, making for a book that’s both hilarious and (just a bit) scary.” 🧙‍♀️🖤🧁 Read more: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Featured on a brownish black background is a review from Kirkus Reviews in bright green: "Hilarious and (just a bit) scary." Below it is the cover of Nice to Eat You, which shows a pink-faced cat-eye-glasses-wearing old lady holding a platter of cupcakes, the other hand raised in welcome. The word "Eat" is written next to the word "Meet," which has been X-ed out. Behind her, leafless trees with haunted faces scream silently under a crescent moon. A sky-blue burst with "Out now" is tacked to the upper right corner of the book.
