One of the many fun things about my marriage is coming home when my spouse is asleep and trying to figure out the meaning of the latest note to herself that she's stuck to the door of the refrigerator. Tonight's note just says, "Yes, good plan."

Agent Sojac has bad dreams, especially about one past mission. Smiley's dreams blend his present life with past missions and his youth in theater. Mariel's life is so weird she can rarely tell whether she's dreaming. You don't want to know what Bianca dreams about. #ocsky #dreams weirdluck.net

Best 4-album run from a band: Dark Side of the Moon Wish You Were Here Animals The Wall If I absolutely had to shave one off the end in order to name the best 3-album run, I'd reluctantly jettison Dark Side, because, well, The Wall is The Wall.

Autonomous Press@autonomouspress.bsky.social · 4d agoWe are sad to share the news that Mark A. Nobles, contributor to several Spoon Knife Volumes and co-editor of Spoon Knife 11 (Remnants) has passed.

We are grieving the loss of my co-editor for Spoon Knife 11. A frequent contributor to the anthology, Mark wanted to try his hand as an editor. One of his last fiction pieces will appear in the upcoming book.
