well it was a very fine birthday dinner with friends. very different than last year. and one of my presents was getting paperback reading copies of my favorite books The Complete Rynosseros so now I can do annotations in the book and not worry about damaging my expensive copies.
In relation to this, yes I do own original rare printings of the four book cycle, the high quality hardcover signed edition and now thanks to a birthday present, reading copies that I do not have to worry about. Also the I think rare anth collecting The Library novella story
Todd Sanders@lackriver.bsky.social · 2w agothe months pass and it will soon be time again to reread The Complete Rynosseros by Terry Dowling and to again dream of convincing at least one person I know to read all the stories as well so I will finally have someone to talk to about them. A dream dreamt for decades at this point.
It still fascinates me that when Nick Cave sings The Weeping Song, he does each side of the father/son conversation in different tonal voices.

Just doing a little 2028 cover dreaming (And yes the cover layouts do wrap and the edges do align)

good work team. another 12 pieces in place. only been 5 weeks.
Did you know The Librarian has an arch nemesis (in reality actually an X-Men villain) named The Vanisher? I usually post this comic book panel when talking about him but it is part of a full page comic spread and could be mini Librarian story in of itself.
A peek at Alban Viard’s Age of Steam maps for 2026, layouts by me.
birthday in a little over a week. a lot of sadness and loneliness. would like to feel cared about.
So many I follow on YT are reconsidering what they are doing. They seem exhausted and tired of slaving to the algorithm. Tired of having only a public life and nothing left for themselves. Seems like YT has finally gone too far and a real movement is growing.
a slight mess when flipping but pretty good. nectarine tarte tatin
Wow PS Publishing, kinda fell down on the quality control on this one
