Rainbow-y background. "I love people who are intellectually omnivorous. The kind who can discuss folklore, black holes, bird migration, poetry, and grocery store pricing in a single conversation without getting lost."

It's national badger day today. If you've been lucky enough to see one (alive), you'll know how amazing they are. I have a few times, including a cub this year. Treasure them 🦡❤️

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (30s?) is snoozing on his back on some grass in a park. A fast asleep tiny human (1?) sprawled across his tummy. Both soaking up the spring sunshine as a tūī calls from a tree branch overhead.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (3?) is skipping along next to Dad while holding a threadbare plushie bunny. With utmost solemnity he says: "Dad I REALLY think you should carry me." Dad says: "Why'd ya think that mate?" "Cos Rabbit's got VERY TIRED legs."

Merriam Webster ‘Phonetic’ is not. ‘Abbreviation’ has twelve letters. ‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym. ‘Monosyllabic’ has five syllables. Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humour.

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs.

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.”

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.”

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with.

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

🧵Spotted on a Rainy Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (3?) is clutching a wheel of camembert cheese to her chest and wearing a big watery frown. Dad asks what's wrong and she bellows with utmost distress: "MY CHEESE IS SAD!" Dad trying to commiserate in between belly chuckles.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A tiny new human is being snuggled in Mum's arms as Mum sits in a park, gazing out over a gently rushing river. Tiny Human does not care for the view, however. Tiny Human's fast asleep. Blowing little milk-drunk bubbles. A picture of total serenity.
