I’ve been eyeing this print forever, and finally went ahead and ordered it. The perfect tribute to the two owls whose territory our house happens to sit next to 🦉

Fun fact: cobweb comes from the Middle English coppeweb, which comes from the Old English name for spider, atorcoppe. Ator means poison, coppe means round thing. They looked at spiders and went oh yeah, the little round poison things

I'm forever grateful to Daniël for tirelessly writing, rewriting and editing (and rewriting) my clunky first drafts, and forever jealous of his way with words.

I wrote a book. Or rather, I wrote for one 📚 In the @nogood.studio book, my contribution forms a gentle introduction to Thomas’s moniker through a foreword, a few chapters, and lots of editing. The process was an exercise in restraint, and I enjoyed it very much. www.daniel.pizza/journal/nogo...

Writing the NoGood book · Daniël van der Winden

A gentle introduction to my friend Thomas’s moniker, NoGood—an exercise in restraint, written through hours of conversation. The book is out now.

I've recently discovered the writing of Anne Fadiman. This collection of essays I read in one sitting, and I immediately ordered another. “Is it strange to have a frog in your freezer? Yes. Does it make perfect sense within the confines of the piece? Also, yes.” www.trema.website/anne-fadiman...

Frog and Other Essays, by Anne Fadiman

A frog in the freezer, an immortal printer, and a new Yiddish word for Zoom fatigue: on Anne Fadiman’s latest collection.

I've been reading A Working Library since, I think, 2010. mandy's writing is always thoughtful, always probing. It's a luxury to have all of those years of writing, which is of such high quality, be available online—for free. Thank you, mandy!

This month marks *18 years* of A Working Library. I will have more to say about what it means to blog for this long, and what I'm building towards, but for now I just want to thank everyone for reading. aworkinglibrary.com/writing/umyazu

Today marks one year since I launched my current personal website. I’ve really enjoyed keeping up with it since. Much more than I have keeping up with social media. Might write a little post on that. Next project is going to be a revamp of its homepage. www.daniel.pizza

Really enjoying “Greyhound” by @joannapocock.bsky.social, an especially great companion while traveling in the US. Pretty sure it’ll make an appearance in one of my upcoming newsletters.

A book held in hand. The title says GREYHOUND, the author, listed in the middle, is JOANNA POCOCK
