#InverteFest announcement: The December art book will be our 8th and last edition. We've been doing this since 2024 but my real life responsibilities have changed. We might revive the idea in the future in one form or another, but no promises. If you want in, this is your last chance.

It's friday! Time for the weekly good news thread! What's made you smile this week? What's brought some light into your life? ME? Someone sent me a video of their kid reading Loki and talking about their favourite bits! Makes all the deadline madness feel worth it. What's YOUR news?

Randomly selected illustration from Loki book five, which wasn't the book the kid was reading but I happened to have it handy. It shows Vinir the elf (in vaguely mortal form but with elf ears) blasting Loki into the air with his magic wand. Loki looks shocked. Vinir is yelling, "I TOLD YOU TO TAKE MY FATHER'S NAME OUT OF YOUR FILTHY MOUTH"

Only one day left until October! 🍁🧡🍂 Last year was the first year I finished the #Inktober challenge—31 ink drawings in 31 days! This year, I’ll go fully avian and use the #Birdtober prompt list by Andrea Holmes. Who wants to join? Let’s connect and do this together! #sciart #birdart #drawing

Ink drawing of a village weaver hanging upside down under his nest, working on the construction with his beak.

The Birdtober prompt list, with 31 bird names listed in three columns. Title of the list: Birdtober Official 2026 prompt list. The background of the image is light green, and there are three bird illustrations in both upper corners and the lower left corner.

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Umbrella crab! Cryptolithodes sitchensis.

A small flat, smooth, red, crab testing on a hand its eyes are visible but no legs.

The underside of the same crab, all legs and now you can see that the shell, which is white on this side, extends well beyond the legs.

The same crab in a tidepool, no real features are visible and it looks more orange underwater.

BEATRICE by Joris Mertens. No English edition of this has been published but it's a wordless story so that's not an issue. Apart from being beautifully illustrated this is a very clever story of time and paradoxes. Really recommend checking this out.
