Artist and illustrator friends: a friend's daughter is in her final year of a Fine Art degree at Loughborough and needs to find a work placement for 6-10 months, preferably drawing/painting related, preferably paid. Could be any location. Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received.

Still from Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) with caption 'I think I'm going to die.'
Had a moment of panic when my poorly ankle suddenly got really REALLY warm.
Then I realised it was next to the heater in the car
😂
Coffee after Toothpaste sounds like the title of a self help book.
Other titles in the series - Cake after Extraction, or Ice Tea after Root Canal

The Government this week sneaked out an announcement increasing the amount that political parties can spend on general elections by around 80%. This major change in election rules cannot be challenged by opposition parties. It is the governing party setting the rules to benefit themselves.
A text that says, 'Ce moment when you start penser en deux langues at the same temps' or a frenglish way to say 'That moment when you start thinking in two languages at the same time'

12 views of the same street taken at different times of the day, from 7.15 in the morning as the sun is rising until 4.15pm as the light is fading. It starts sunny with the sun moving up, goes misty, then clear and blue, then cloudy as the colour of the sky turns from bright blue to a bluish grey. In the last picture it looks already like evening - the lights on the facade of a pub have come on.
Sunrise to sundown on a November day

‘I could not go in: too resistless was the delight of staying with the wild hour, black and full of thunder, pealing out such an ode as language never delivered to man.’ ~ Charlotte Brontë, Villette.
This #BookWormSat we turn to bookish storms and rains in honour of November.
As always from @iandunt.bsky.social, this is SO good on our current government, which is behaving like a toddler howling when told it's time to go home.
"Usually, [The Lords] can be overridden. But not this time. The reasons for that are technical but also delicious..."
Does anyone (teachers on here?) have a handy list of manga that are suitable for upper KS2 (specifically for a 10 year old but a bit younger fine too). It's for a girl who loves anime but hasn't read any manga yet. My manga knowledge is in its infancy so any help would be great!

To anyone who needs it today:
Read anything you want to, in whatever medium you like. There are no guilty pleasures, no objectively worthless, improving or harmful books. No-one can judge your choice of book, because no-one knows why you’re reading it, or what you choose to take from it.

was listening to @stevedoherty.bsky.social's new series of asking @mariankeyes.bsky.social and Tara Stuff and Issues, aiming to drift to sleep. No chance. THE CHORTLING. And now sleeping flutes will haunt my dreams. Thank you.
Mars background, with a small colony and rovers. Eva Knight stands with a sword over her shoulder, in her spacesuit, her helmet on the ground. An insulin pump is highlighted on the exterior of her suit. The caption reads 'Meet Eva Knight, Type 1 Diabetic and Martian'. The cover of Ghosts of Mars sits top left, alongside the banner for World Diabetes Day.
As it's #WorldDiabetesDay (and inspired by
@afsteadman.bsky.social !), a reminder that Type 1 diabetics live with an all-consuming condition, but that we too can be superheroes and the main characters in our own stories!

Thursday 11/16 at 8pm eastern, on Gab ‘n’ Doodle, I’ll be joined by the super illustrator Dena Seiferling on insta.
Dena is an expert in softness and precision in her work. I am so impressed with her the skill and craft and have never been able to work so cleanly in my life.
Book 95: Rebecca Wragg Sykes, “Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death, and Art.” Really well done in terms of showcasing the humanity of these hominids. Also does a good job going into detail about HOW we know what we know and how that understanding has changed over the least 50 years.
Little Red Riding Hood is pulling up the hoot on her coat and glancing anxiously behind her. "Grrrrrrr" appears over her head and disappears off-page to the right. In the background, the shadow of a wolf and yellow eyes appear from the bushes.
