very small slugs and their beautiful/freaky trail art (first photo is in the morning fog, captured quickly on my way out for work; closeups are from the evening when i was trying to confirm that it had in fact been slugs—but actually you can see six or so in the original photo if you zoom wayyyy in)

truly no worries!!

almost didn’t ask @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social to sign my lil dogeared copy of Annihilation tonight out of fear of seeming like an unhinged crazy person, but since i always sit in the front row at movies (bc i ~am~ an unhinged crazy person) he was only a few feet away, so i did. really grateful.

that’s my lil hand! thanks for being receptive to my creeping over to you, and for signing my (already very treasured) book

still figuring out how i want to activate this space. started a class tonight (w/Cal Angus) called ‘exoliterature: insects in fiction’ and my heart and mind are already buzzing (pun intended, sry). we were instructed to keep a writing companion so here’s a cicada shed that will be living on my desk.
