This story of the resilience and courage of a young pelican, who "asked" at a NOAA lab for help, and GOT it, is my feel-good story of the month 🥺

Scientists heard a knock at the door. It was a pelican in need of help.
“This is kind of just a once-in a-lifetime experience,” said marine researcher Annsli Hilton.

Hi friends, I am short $148 to keep my utilities on and pay my late mobile bill.

Utilities are urgent: Our temps are still in the 90s, and my illness and meds make me heat intolerant.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku pieces. No one’s buying right now, and I understand - art isn’t always the priority in difficult times.

But I’m still making, and sharing a little beauty feels worthwhile.

A like or share might help these pieces find their people.

🙏

The latest Jerry Falade article about losing his $2 million book deal over AI use allegations is stuck behind the Independent paywall 🙄 Read his essay in full on Kathleen Schmidt's Substack instead. A very important piece, that is well worth your time.

if you think ed sheeran is a spineless shitheel (as you should) and have been celebrating the bands who've quat his tour, you can join them in an act of equally principled and much more direct action right here and now, by signing up to support the Sameer Project
the rest of us can only do what we always do: make our own decisions on who to trust and how to best spend what money we can spare in this one lifetime we spend in this hell world. for instance, you could set up a recurring monthly donation to the Sameer Project today. chuffed.org/project/help...

Great article with a lot of familiar names. Godspell is one of my favorites.
Getting cast as Jesus in the 1972 Toronto production of Godspell, Victor Garber writes, ‘I recognized that my life was about to change.’

It was confirmed yesterday that the centre left coalition won the election in Sweden

As predicted, with the far right performing poorly, coverage has almost entirely vanished from international media
You may be relieved but spare a thought for so many editors in the mainstream media who were hoping to run hyping headlines about the far right winning in Sweden

As always when SD is hyped and ends up crashing, I expect Swedish politics will drop off the radar as it's no longer sexy enough
Sweden, Novus exit poll:

Seat projection national parliament

S-S&D: 101 (-6)
SD-ECR: 66 (-7)
M-EPP: 62 (-6)
C-RE: 32 (+8)
MP-G/EFA: 25 (+7)
V-LEFT: 24
KD-EPP: 21 (+2)
L-RE: 18 (+2)

+/- vs. Last election result

Consumers, please start your holiday shopping early. Don’t get too attached to any one title. Let booksellers help you find something in stock that will delight and surprise. We will have a ton of stock, just maybe not that one title no one can get. There will be one (probs more); what will it be?

The message booksellers are getting for Q4 is December is going to be (another) shitshow. Paper and ink shortages, printer back-ups, warehouse back-ups/staffing shortages, carrier delays. Order up now, we’re being told. Who knows what stock will be available later.
