A week ago I got a sudden idea for a book that I had to start writing immediately, even though I had another book under works. Now I already have 30k words in it. It's a rough draft with already 20 short chapters and much of it will change, but it's a good start. I've never written this fast before.

#Rewilding One of the cartoons in my new book 'Physics for Cats'. Available now in good bookshops an online nowwww.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2
A deep dark forest. A scientist leads a guest through the trees, saying: "The rewilding project has exceeded all of our expectations! Keep your eyes open for the species that have come back: Red deer, wild boar, Pine marten. Or perhaps even our proudest return: The great old one Yog-drath'll, eternal unsleeping evil of the primordial forest." (all these creatures are hidden in the image)

I came *this* close to spilling red wine on my keyboard. 😳

What? It's Friday and husband is at the office party, so naturally I'll write as late as I have energy for, BUT with red wine. Obviously.

I bet after a couple of glasses, the text will be brilliant. 😆

Rebel nuns who busted out of Austrian care home win reprieve – for now
Rebel nuns who busted out of Austrian care home win reprieve – for now
Trio given leave to stay in their abandoned convent near Salzburg until further notice, church officials say Three octogenarian nuns who gained a global following after breaking out of their care home and moving back to their abandoned convent near Salzburg have been given leave to stay in the nunnery “until further notice”, church officials have said. The rebel sisters – Bernadette, 88, Regina, 86, and Rita, 82, all former teachers at the school adjacent to their convent – broke back into their old home of Goldenstein Castle in Elsbethen in September in defiance of their spiritual elders.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are casually sitting around. Green is reading a book, while Blue is making a series of various noises. Blue: Hik... Hik.. Snif, snif, krhm, hmh, krhm, hmh, burp, sigh Both foxes are mildly startled as a bright "ping!" noise is heard, and blue lights up, glowing around the edges. Both foxes look at Blue, puzzled. Blue: I think I hit some secret combo code by accident.

Local grocery shop had a bucket of flower bouquets outside the tills with a note that they’re free to take and I got some lovely orange roses. They’re not even wilting yet, but maybe there’s a sell by date on them too.

Yuki onna is a fearful #yokai appearing on snowy winter nights. She glides across the snow with her blue lips and transparent skin. Her icy gaze can be deadly and she will suck the life force out of you and leave you to die in the snow.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Happy Friday from #Japan!

As we are approaching the peak of #autumn, I present 4 previously unpublished photos of a seasonal illumination event at Kodaiji Temple in eastern #Kyoto some years ago. Details in ALT.

#photography #naturephotography #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social
Arriving on the premises of Kodaiji. Many people flock to these "light-ups" (as they are called in Japanese) at the peak of the season. At the Dry Garden (karesansui) of Kodaiji, there was a vibrant illumination with a rotation of striking colors. The colorful reflections off the still surface of the pond were the highlight of the visit for me. There is a small bamboo forest on the temple premises, that was also illuminated to great effect.

✨😇A SLICE OF PARADISE🪷🎶

Byōdō-in's ( 平等院) Hōō-dō (鳳凰堂 'Phoenix Hall') was completed in 1053. Once completely surrounded by Aji-ga-ike pond, the stretch of water helped protect the building from fires in 1336 and 1483 that completely destroyed the rest of the temple.

#Byodoin #平等院 #Uji
The 'Phoenix Hall' of Byodo-in, framed by autumn leaves. Closer view of the 'Phoenix Hall'. Look closely and you can see the face of the statue of Amida peering out. The 'Phoenix Hall' and pond. Aji-no-ike stretches before the 'Phoenix Hall'...this is the view looking from the hall to the gardens and Uji River (hidden) beyond.
