Black-and-white photograph of Ursula K. Le Guin in her later years, seated comfortably in a wicker chair in front of a bookshelf filled with books. The acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author has short white hair, warm eyes, and a gentle smile as she gazes directly at the camera. She wears a dark long-sleeved shirt, her arms crossed and resting on her lap, with a bracelet on one wrist and a ring on her finger. To the right of the portrait is the vibrant cover of the 50th Anniversary Edition of her novel The Left Hand of Darkness, featuring a bold blue starry gradient background with the title in white text and her name prominently displayed.

Hice pepparkakor!
Ya recordé por qué no hago casi nunca. Lo que cuesta estirar la masa!
Y estrés que me da hornearlas. Solo conocen dos estados: aún les falta un poco más y quemadas.
Deje la mitad de la masa para mañana porque por hoy ya tuve bastante.

The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?"
Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy."
Santa responds "Very nice!"
Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?"
Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

A simple four panel comic with a round character. Top caption reads Before you leave the house, check you have. Panel 1 shows keys with a banana keychain, labeled Keys. Panel 2 shows a green wallet, labeled Wallet. Panel 3 shows a blue phone, labeled Phone. Panel 4 shows the character holding a colorful tangled scribble, labeled The vague sense that you have forgotten something. A playful take on the keys wallet phone routine.
