‘Our Town’s Libraries’
which I drew for the @nytimes recently… Speaking of libraries, I have a new book out titled REVENGE OF THE LIBRARIANS and I am visiting Brooklyn NY, Philadelphia PA, and Columbus OH with it in the next week. Visit tomgauld.com for details…

spotify wrapped day is the day i get on my soapbox and annoy everyone about last.fm — a website i’ve used to track my listening habits since 2009. a WEBSITE. a fun place on the internet that doesn’t feel silicon valley’d to fuck. let’s keep the good ones alive!

I have been putting off eating this yam because it is my friend now
ALT Yam that looks vaguely person-like and has hands and a face drawn onto it in Sharpie.
I have always meowed back at cats, barked back at dogs, cawed back at crows, etc. but now I sort of wonder if that's extremely offensive to them. like, the equivalent of middle-aged white people trying to say hello to me in chinese, in their atrocious accents 😝
I do not recommend that you put an entire ripe peach inside your backpack (without a container, or any kind of forethought).
