Aaah! Congratulations, dude. Very well done!

Had a dream that I was a cat photographer but someone booked me to do a wedding so I had the bride and groom putting their faces through holes a cardboard box, waved a feather on a stick at them, the whole shtick. Groom ate all the Dreamies I had in the first five minutes.

Tfw someone says "Im fiscally conservative but socially liberal" and you know exactly who they vote for

A corner of The Lightrooms shows an image of an Apollo astronaut standing on the Moon. The image is on every surface and a man in dark trousers and a light t-shirt looks on, awestruck,

An orange background with a red circle. Two thirds of it are red, with a vertical yellow stripe defining the third section and orange beyond that. The paint is acrylic

Against a twilight forest background speckled with stars, a female violinist in a black and white dress plays. She has the head of a rabbit. The cover reads ADVENTITIOUS ISSUE 1-FEATURING NEW FICTION FROM PA CORNELL AND OTHERS

A high definition image of an Apollo astronaut on the moon on the edge of a crater. It's projected across all four visible surfaces of an enormous room with people standing and sitting looking up at the photo from the floor. The title THE MOONWALKERS and BY ANNE NIKITIN is written across the centre of the image.

#TheFullLid - 27th March - Happy Friday! We're going to the Moon and back with Tom Hanks and The Moonwalkers, celebrating the space art of Alma Thomas, loving the first issue of @adventitiouswords.bsky.social and playing into the weekend with Anne Nikitin

School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship A school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

A New York subway train hurtles past a deserted platform, motion blurring as it goes. At the top of the image is the quote 'An absolute delight to read a thriller this damn good.' by Mark Greaney. Below that is the title THE SURVIVOR. Below that are the words A NOVEL and below that is the name ANDREW REID

A green background with an image of an ink well in black and the words 'invisible ink' written in white lower case text

Pink flowers and curved dark green leaves in mosaic form on a white background in a New York subway station

A kneeling woman in a dress snarls on a concrete floor. Above her the words SONIC YOUTH are written in the air. Below her in the bottom left corner is the word EVOL.
