If you adopted a feral cat to the inside and he keeps meowing maybe he just really wants to smoke real cigarettes. You don’t know what he was up to before

I “got stuck” behind the drawers today. Everyone had to come help me so I felt awkward telling them I wasn’t stuck, I was just being a little shit
an orange cat is being snuggled on a halloween blankie with one paw extended toward the camera. you can tell by his facial expression that he has recently been a little shit causing trouble

Author Simulator. My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Author Simulator 

Level 1: Get to desk and begin! (Platform video game-style image of an author jumping from a block onto  a cloud with desk and computer) Result: success!

Level 2: Press on despite distractions! (Author typing as the desk/clod moves past a ghost and a spider) ) Result: success!

Level 3: Deliver manuscript to editor! (Author jumping over fire pit onto platform where editor waits) Result: success!

Level 4: Accept minor criticism! (Author lying ded in fronto of editors desk) Result: better luck next time!

Along the bottom are controls for:

I love when they come w/ a sense of what communication and practices work best for them. Not to make demands but to see if you're the right fit as professional partners and not just creatively. Many do, but I think some feel too intimidated to express what they need in a partnership. #AskDV

How does one predict trends in literature? Not to follow one, since following a trend is nigh difficult, but identifying signs so you can choose which story to pitch. Do you have educated guesses about how publishing looks two years in the future? #AskDV

"Who goes there?" It's pretty hard to approach a Garter Snake unnoticed. They are finely attuned to any ground vibration, and my clumsy approach was no exception. Maybe it was amused at seeing this human lying on the ground with a camera? #Snakes #Reptiles #Wildlife #GardenFriends #SciArt #PhotoHour
Photo showing a smallish snake (Garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis) on a gravel path. The snake's head is raised and it seems to be looking at the photographer. Its body is coiled, with the middle part visible behind the head. The snake has black stripes on a yellowish body, with some darker patches in the black hinting at a checkerboard pattern. Watermark identifying photographer as Geneviève Laurin.
