I am trying something in November. National novel-reading month, basically. It is the PERFECT month for reading (at least in the Western hemisphere).

November is for reading

or: a month of sheer luxurious intellectual pleasure

If a villain did this in a book, it would be derided as too on-the-nose.

Parent: Love the pumpkin, he's mad about Pokémon!
Dad, who carved this on request from his 33-year-old daughter: oh really, I wonder what that's like.

Nothing terrifies me more that the idea of driving home at 6pm on Halloween. Like, it gives me anxiety every year.

The only thing that would have made this better if there was animation for him to go physically running after every ball if it is thrown in his vicinity.

I only recognised the shiny sound because of your Shiny Fletchling video!

*heard noise in-game I had never heard before but could only be a shiny*
*shiny is not in my immediate vicinity*
*find it but how do I get off this damn roof*
What happens next will surprise you!

You could almost see this, without my name on it, and be like 'yep, that's Apple.'

I will try and use it to angle for a pay rise at my next performance review, but to be fair, the part I was most interested in was getting the children involved in nature.

Just means that I can go around the nursery suggesting things like 'hey, should we turn off the lights when we're not using a room?' And everyone will nod their heads and never do it.

This might be the most Millennial thing ever, but I've just received a new job role at work without an increase in pay. Anyway, I am the nursery's sustainability leader now.

"What is a sustainability lead?
Think of this person as your setting's eco-champion! A sustainability lead doesn't need to be an expert in
climate science or environmental policy. They just need a passion for making a difference an eye for
opportunities, and the support of their team. Their role is to coordinate your sustainability efforts.
from small wins like reducina waste and saving energy to bigger plans that help children engage with and
understand the world around them.
What is a climate action plan?
A climate action plan is your roadmap for creating a more sustainable setting. It's not about reinventing the wheel or stretching limited budgets; it's about identifying what you can do and planning how to do it.
This could include:

Reducing single-use plastics

• Improving recycling efforts

Saving energy and water

Adding more outdoor learning or nature-based play
Teaching children about caring for
the planet in simple, age-appropriate ways.

So, Legends Arceus had us exploring a whole region, ZA focuses on a large but compact city... I know where this is going.

Galar/Kalos double bill, anyone?

Okay I just thought you guys should see exactly what the UK got as a Legends Z-A preorder bonus. Mug, baseball cap, three figurines, enamel pins and an umbrella.

Forgive the three years of bad luck but you also have to see the inside of the umbrella

A baseball cap with the mega evolution symbol, a mug, enamel pins and a diorama with Tepig, Totodile and Chikorita, an umbrella with blue Pokéballs around it and figurines of Mega Charizard X and Y

Opened up umbrella, showing Mega Lucario, Gardevoir, Ampharos and both of Charizard's Mega Forms.

Why don't airports provide bookshelves where people can swap books for free as standard? Surely it's the ideal situation where some people will have books they don't want to bring home, meanwhile some people there might be desperate for reading material.

Who wants to invest with me on a chain of airport lounges called the Four Hour Early Club?

It'll have a free library!

Late Night Study 🦇🔮 #illustration

Three girls gather around in the center of the painting as the witch (middle) casts a magical spell in Scarlett’s room (vampire.) The character to her right is Frankenstein’s daughter. The character sitting by the window is a vampire. We see books, pages, drinks, spread across the floor.
