Happy international cat day from the Toms of Atuan! (Ursula drew this on a postcard; you can also find the drawing in the Book of Cats).
A line drawing of four cats, captioned beneath, "The Toms of Atuan (who live on the Fartherest Shore)."

The first cat is curled up, croissant style, and looks disgruntled as he thinks "This is ridiculous." The second sits upright, and his speech bubble says, "Oh Marie! Marie! My own Marie!" The third cat is crouched as if to jump; his speech bubble reads, "Oomeoomeoo-meoomeoo." A fourth cat faces the viewer, standing, and says, "Err, Err, Err, myaaooww, Marie!"

This week in Winnipeg and across the country, we are once again experiencing extreme heat and severe weather events that are posing increasing risks to community health and public safety. In Winnipeg, temperatures rose to 47 degrees with the humidex earlier this week.
Black background with film photos of the climate crisis, including: forest fires, flooding, people walking with umbrellas, smokey skies. Text reads: WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO LOSE.
