“An animal looks at me. What should I think of this sentence?” - Derrida, ‘The Animal That Therefore I Am (More to Follow)’ Storm is helping me read Derrida for tomorrow’s class on animal encounters in literature.

Very large, fluffy, and unimpressed-looking silver Maine Coone, sitting majestically on a purple velvet pillow, as befits his majestic dumbassery.

Well, yes. There’s that. My Sachertorte deficiency is particularly bad this time of year. Not something to feel smug about.

Haha. Yes! And then the meeting moved on to working out the target buyer and they settled on Gomez and Morticia.

You have to admire a thumbnail choice in real estate marketing that just screams 'It's haunted AF. You should buy it!' www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Property listing for a sandstone villa with two thumbnails. The first is a pleasant colour photo; the second is a black and white historical image which makes the house look like the first home of Gomez and Morticia.

Illustration of Cleopatra's needle from The Graphic (1878) showing the obelisk hoisted in the air, horizontal, on an enormous timber frame.

Behold the majestic floof of this canary-shouldered thorn moth and let your Monday be that little bit more bearable. This majestic moth eats birches and alders; to help look after it please look after local trees & report any damage to your council. Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board ✨🦋✨

An absofuckinglutely majestic fluffy yellow moth standing facing the camera defiantly like the lepidopteran royalty that it is. If Monday tries to come for you, this moth will find it and crush that Monday like a very, very tiny grape. This moth has big round grey eyes, delightful comb-like antennas, a fluffy body, and wings that look like autumn leaves. A plus plus plus moth buddy.
A side view of the extremely stylish and fluffy and majestic yellow moth, with wings held aloft. Those wings are an autumnal shade of orange tan, with dark speckles and crenellated wing edges that make them look like autumn leaves. It's a very good moth friend, 14 out of 10 would recommend.
A close up on the majestic yellow moth so you can tell how fluffy its body is. Its very, very, very fluffy. Like an extremely plush plushie. From this alt you can also see it's legs are orange and brown speckled at the top and pale peach towards the feet, like it's wearing fancy shorts. Nice work little moth.
