Daily bunny no.3462 arrives on the island
A bunny with a small suitcase walks off of a ferry to the pier in a summery island. A nearby bunny is busking with an accordion, and seagulls are all around.

Goodnight from The Bloody Empress pub, where Mel Ridge is shouting requests to the band – The Sorrow Maidens, The Naming Jig, The Stoat’s Coat. Goodnight from Jenny Lovelock, sleeping in the stables to keep the Soul-knacker from taking her favourite mare. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight from the women of Weychester, marching the night with torches and placards reading: WEREWOLVES LIVE AMONG US. Goodnight from the Lightfoot Travelling Curiosity Show, its punters journeying home sure they’ve seen spirits trapped in bell jars. Goodnight from Hookland.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who listens intently.
Green: I haven't been spending enough time with you.

Green sits down opposite of Blue.
Green: How about we take the afternoon to do things together? You choose.

Blue looks visibly excited, and Green leans in towards him.
Blue: Anything?
Green: Anything you like.

Blue rushes off in delight, while Green remains sitting, watching him go with an unreadable expression on his face.
Blue: Let's set up your controller, we're going to play that game you promised to try.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Today's word is TREAT. Today's #BookQW is from Direct Descendant (DAW Books 2025) a contemporary fantasy taking place just west of Timmins, ON, where small town values are subject to variable definitions but all the dogs are still good dogs. Available in pb, audio, & digital. Shop indie if you can.
Lower left the cover of Direct Descendant, yellow and green and black with a bakery, a woman eating a cup cake, framing silver birch, and tentacles. Because it's always better with tentacles.

      They tolerated the bloodlines and Daffodil had a somewhat- threatening version of begging for treats. Dexter had come embarrassingly close to eating a train engineer who'd strayed a little too far from the station. Oh, and they were terrified of Alyx's corgis, and it was hysterically funny watching the corgis lording it over a pair of hellhounds. Well, it was funny as long as Uncle Stu didn't catch you calling them hellhounds. Having hand-raised them, he was a bit over-protective.
