a light blond golden retriever puppy wearing an olive green beanie sits on a picnic table in a park. the trees in the background are green and orange with fall foliage. his floppy green beanie is pulled down on his noggin, pressing a line of his fluffy forehead fur forward, and gluing his ears to the sides of his face. he looks ever so slightly downcast that no one understands him. photo credit wat.ki on instagram

Reading an advance copy of The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens and it's just like the rest of her books. It's so entertaining that I'm having trouble putting it down. Just like with her other books, it's not for the faint of heart (violence). And I'm not that far in. It comes out on the 7th, I think.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

What you think your brain is supposed to do

A person is having a conversation with their brain floating in space. The person says “hello friend your job is to keep me happy“ the brain replies “nah. my job is to keep you safe from real and imagined threats“ in the final panel. The person is in bed saying to themselves “I’m home it’s bedtime. I am totally safe”. The brain replies “OK, but what if… “

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
