@bookstodon Of all the great Tom Gauld cartoons, and there are many (BAKING WITH KAFKA being my favorite collection) this one still cracks me up every time I see it!

Three authors are on a panel, each with a large poster of their respective new book covers behind them. The first author introduces their book, HORSEBACK DOCTOR, by saying "This book was inspired by my previous career as a surgeon and my time riding with cowboys in Wyoming." The second author introduces their book, LOVE AT THE PATISSERIE, by saying "To prepare for my book I spent a year apprenticed to a baker in Avignon and edited a lonely-hearts column for the local paper." The third author is noticeably silent. We look behind them to see that the title of their book is THE LITERARY FESTIVAL MURDERS.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon aw, the murder author could have said something here, like, "Hello, all you lovely people! It's you! You inspire me." :)

Note that Isaac Asimov did actually publish a murder-mystery novel called "Murder at the A.B.A", which is (or was) the American Bookseller's Association convention.

Good novel, too!

#Caturday I miss my Charley. He loved being on the front porch.

Charley, a striped tabby with a snow white chest and paws, lounging on an elevated pet bed, with his head turned toward the view of nature in the front yard (birds squirrels, and chipmunks). It's that time of the morning when sunlight is very strong, and streams through the slats of the porch railing. The effect makes it seem like a laser.

Normalize not building your entire identity on whom you hate.

@kimlockhartga Oof I need this reminder. I am way better than I used to be, but I still let people live rent free.

ALSO when you do fight, fighting from LOVE is so much more powerful.

When you fight from HATE you open yourself up to getting manipulated and used.

@kimlockhartga I don't even understand why all the people NEED to hate!?

Like in that clip from "Into The Wild" - "Control! Judgement! The Whole Spectrum!"

Why must people be DEVIOUS!!?? Why can't people just let go, to just live alone, void of hate, nothing gained nothing lost - just BE KIND, why not?

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world, WHERE EVERYTHING'S EXACTLY LIKE IT SEEMS - but people need to come along TO PISS ON YOUR DREAMS-- why can't they just STICK TO THEIR OWN PERSONAL DREAMS?
