Finally got Mr. Tchaikovsky’s newest book, and absolutely love the art on the hardback. @aptshadow.bsky.social your books now take up nearly a quarter of my shelf space. Unrelated, do you know if the paperback of Bee Speaker will match my copies of the previous books?

Plan for the day: write a paragraph. At the very least, a coherent sentence. I'd be happy with a coherent sentence.
After an insanely busy weekend, wasn’t feeling up to doing any proper work this morning. So cleaned my space. Yes I consider this being productive and yes this is an improvement.
