Kirk, Laban and Spock. They have so much fun together!
Three dogs running towards the camera. In the middle is Laban, a mostly white Bichon Havanaise with his hair in a little ponytail on top of his head. To the right of him is Spock, a black German Spitz, and to the left is Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel. They're running over grass and moss, surrounded by bare birch trees, with the sea and an island visible in the background.

Same colour as Laban's harness!
A white Bichon Havanaise sitting down, looking into the camera, serious close-up. He's mostly white with ribbons holding the fur up from his eyes. Maroon harness on.

Translation: "Eight-year-old Edda Svanlund Sekander dresses up as a hefty electric bill for Halloween, something she believes will scare the grown-ups as she goes trick-or-treating."
A child using a vastly oversized envelope, with the logo for an electricity company, as a costume. You can only see her face which is painted white to match the colour of the envelope.

We ended up on a 16-17 km hike. It was a little longer than intended bc I don’t have a sense of direction and misremebered some of the forest roads. The boys don’t complain, though, they love going for really long walks.
Three dogs standing on a small dirt road through the forest. Closest to the camera is Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel. Next is Laban a whiteish, a little apricot-coloured, Bichon Havanaise, with his fur cut relatively short. Furthest away is Spock, a black German Spitz.

Good morning! Later today - 19:00 UK time, 20:00 here in Sweden - I’m giving a talk titled ”philosophy of Madness, fiction of Madness” for the West of Scotland Speculative Psychiatry Group. If you want the Zoom link, just send me a message. It’s also gonna be accessible on YouTube later. #philsky 🪐🐉
Selfie of me, a middle-aged white woman with pale skin and short, medium blond hair. I wear sooty eye make-up and red lipstick, a read-and-grey knitted scarf and grey coat. I'm standing on campus, outdoors, with some grass, a pond and a university building visible behind me.

Beach dogs - Laban, Kirk and Spock.
Three dogs playing on the beach. Spock, a black German Spitz, is running towards the camera, while Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel, and Laban, a mostly white Bichon Havanese, are running towards each other. Behind them you can see the sea bay, calm and sunlit, and further back, a shore with some houses and trees with yellow leaves.

My boys. Kirk, Laban and Spock.
Autumn day by the sea. Three dogs are standing fairly close to the camera, looking at me as I take the picture. Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel, Laban, a mostly white Bichon Havanaise, and Spock, a black German Spitz. They're standing on rocky, mossy ground. The sun is shining. Next to the sea bay, there are trees with yellow leaves.

Serie av Liv Strömquist: Jo, för vi håller på och utvecklar en annan, minst lika effektiv idé - nämligen en ETISK KOD för vårdbolagen. Jag har själv precis varit på Panduro Hobby och köpt ett stort papper och glitterpennor, sen har jag klistrat fast paljetter ... låt mig visa ... Så här! Och det här pappret ska vi TVINGA alla vårdbolag att ha upphängda på sina kontor på Cayman Islands! Och jag menar, här ska vi vara MYCKET hårda och tydliga! Har man inte pappret uppsatt, då blir det bakläxa! Och om inte det här funkar, då är vi villiga att gå ett steg längre, och MARKERA texten med en sådan här neonfärgad överstrykningspenna! För att visa att nu är det fan allvar. Det här är SKATTEPENGAR vi talar om! Och i riktigt allvarliga fall som Carema - då är vi beredda att rita dit en sådan här sur smiley! Vi kommer INTE att tycka om att vidta den här åtgärden, det ska dom ha jävligt klart för sig!

Alexander and Laban.
A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a black sweatshirt, holding a mostly white Bichon Havanaise in his arms; a small, fluffy dog with long ears and the hair on the top of his head pulled up in a high "pony-tail".

This Wednesday, Spock managed to give himself a hernia in the small of his back while chasing a ball.
He's feeling much better now. CanNOT understand that he's supposed to take it easy for a MONTH.

Hernias mostly happen to LONG dogs, not Spitzes. But this is how Spock catches balls mid-air ...
Pencil sketches of a Spitz jumping, flying through the air, twisting in various ways, and catching a ball.

Fantastiska gothkonstnären Malin Fredrika gjorde den här planschen inspirerad av min bok. Man kan köpa en för det facila priset av 150 kr inklusive frakt. DMa om ni vill ha. (Hela planschen till vänster, inzoomad bild till höger)
En svartvit målning med svart ram. Bilden föreställer skelettvarelser som växer fram ur marken på var sin sida om vatten. Bakom vattnet står en varelse som klätt sig i tyg och hud och satt dit ögon. Bredvid varelsen sitter en liten vit kanin. I bakgrunden syns ett stort kugghjul, som också speglar sig i vattnet. Texten säger: Kugghjulssjälar. Sofia Jeppsson. Hjärnan är inte du. Hjärnan är bara kött, bara kuggjul och fjädrar. Allt kan ersättas. Samma som förra bilden men bara själva målningen, ingen text.

These mushrooms. Just saying. They could star in a horror flick.
A picture of tall, pale mushrooms in a forest. Some look like they're melting into black ink.

Kirk feels embarrassed about his name. I assure him that he's named after a brave Star Fleet captain.
Picture of a grey/yellow Tibetan Spaniel standing on a rock in the forest, looking into the camera with a grumpy expression.

Fantastiska konstnären Malin Fredrika har gjort en plansch åt mig, som jag ska trycka upp och sälja och ha med till bokmässan bl. a.
Hostilerna växer fram ur helvetesmyllan som skelett innan de klär på sig köttet, stoppar in ögonen i kraniet och sätter dit skinnet.
A black-and-white painting depicting bare trees coming up from the ground and turning to skeletons at each side. In the middle, there's a character with round dead eyes and a mask, wrapped in cloth. Next to it is a small white rabbit. There's a huge cogwheel in the sky which is reflected in a pool of water in front of the character.

Text: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly. The picture seems to show a pregnant woman from the side, with the visible foetus. Looking more closely, there seems to be a small empty uterus below the occupied one, the vagina leads into a penis which is labelled "rectum", and a random oval next to the two wombs is labelled "cervix".

Writers online: Of course I don't let ChatGPT write the book for me, but it's great for research! Hey, I'm writing about a fisherman catching and gutting a big shark ...
ChatGPT:
A ChatGPT-generated image that is supposed to show a shark's anatomy. It has "anal" in three places, says the eyes are inside the head, and features many made-up terms like Cartilageal Jaus and First Corcamered Hertene.

Picture of a broken-up old war ship, only half-submerged in water. The original comment reads: Europe water levels are so low that sunk Nazi warships are popping up in the Danube. New comment: I am simply asking for less-direct metaphors at this point.

Infinite money glitch discovered!
Pictured: An "AI overview". It says: "To have twice as much money, you need to transfer all the money from your account into that same account. This will effectively double the total amount in that account. There's no need for a separate account for this purpose."

Laban loves his new dad very much and follows him around everywhere.
Alexander, a middle-aged man in glasses, sits in an armchair reading a magazine. Laban, a white bichon dog with his fur cut short, sits in his lap. Laban is looking into the camera. He's got slightly longer hair on top of his head, and some strands have fallen down over his right eye.

New dog Laban gets along better and better with Spock and Kirk.
Our three dogs in the yard, in the morning light. In the back is Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel. Then black German Spitz Spock, and at the front, our new dog Laban, a white-and-yellow Bichon Havanaise with his fur cut short.

New Jeppsson dog just dropped. Laban will move in with us next weekend.
Laban is a small, white-and-wheat-coloured dog. The breed is Bichon Havanaise. He's long-haired, including a bit of a moustache and beard, and has a small hairband keeping the hair up from his eyes. I sit next to Laban with an arm around him. I'm a skinny, pale, middle-aged person with short, light-brown hair, glasses, dressed in black.

Way too many people think this is the way it works ... including many scholars. "The reaction to what I wrote shows that I made an important point blablabla" and variations thereof.
A cartoon in two panels, with a fairly generic guy studying and thinking to himself. The first panel says: True thing: If I tell the truth about everything, I will offend people. The second panel says: False thing: Therefore, if I offend people, I must be telling the truth! Underneath both panels, a text says: Among scholars, this is known as the Youtube Commentator's Fallacy.
