A Tumblr screenshot of a post made on 14th June by chainmail-butch. Full text as follows: Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you.

A tweet from @InternetHippo: 'New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"'

Older homeowners, or those who have owned their property for a long time and watched its value soar over the years, are expected to be hardest hit by the changes. This is the case for Nick Miller and his wife, Carolyn, who have lived in their detached home in East Sheen for three decades. After putting the house on the market in summer 2024, a sale fell through this spring and they have subsequently reduced the price several times to the current £2m asking price, meaning it remains within the surcharge bracket. "It won't help our case - it's just more burden for buyers," said Miller, a retired corporate financier. "We may have a better chance if interest rates come down again in December."

A ring-tailed coati sits in a tree where the branch splits into a Y shape, but you can't see much of its tail. It looks almost like a European badger with brown/auburn fur, but without the stripey markings, and a longer snout, which is mostly all black. He looks friend-shaped with small round ears, but also like he wants to steal your food if you turn away for a second.

The painting "Man and Horse" by Botello. A comically swole horse with wide-set legs like an over-in-bred XL Bully dog is being mounted by a fat man in a suit with eyes set unnaturally widely apart, who looks surprised to be caught in the act. A Colombian flag is in the background, so I assume it's some sort of political commentary but I'm just posting it for the meme value because Botello is great.
