CALMA

Box breathing Arsenal fan huddle. My Garmin is going mental at me 😅

Well said, Bat!

I love Mad Sisters of Esi! Hope you do too 😊

I've been guilty of forgetting this myself this past month. The position we find ourselves in, the situation, the opportunity, it is all a privilege. Thank you for an eloquent, timely reminder, Tom Hiddleston!

Yes, I saw and posted this yesterday. I think it put things into perspective for me too. I'm sure Mikel will show it to the players!

Oh absolutely. My mind's drifted dangerously in that direction for the past ten days but I've mostly been able to tamp down the sheer panic spiral 😅

And then there's me, trying to pretend it's not matchday until I absolutely have to, saving up that nervous energy like some squirrel in advance of winter.

Adib! Jenny! What a lovely conversation to open the app to this morning 😍

Yet to read it but it's been waiting on my shelves and I'm looking forward!

Intergalactic Mixtape #49 Hey! This week there’s big award news, lots of reviews of highly anticipated books, several Kickstarters for short fiction, and I caught up on the Tolkien...

The new issue of Intergalactic Mixtape is live and full of recs in a variety of formats: straight lists, author forward, monthly faves, and of course, award related. :D

"Let’s not forget about the now, and allow ourselves to be reminded that Arsenal have overcome bigger odds to go the distance before."

Beautiful tribute, and a sobering, but hopeful, reminder from @andrewmangan.bsky.social ❤️

Hear hear! I will also add the Oxford comma to this.

Just a reminder that we're doing all of this without Saka, Ødegaard, Timber, and Calafiori, with a clearly unfit Kai Havertz and with a squad that's absolutely knackered beyond belief.

It's so, so impressive, and I — for my own part — am so proud of this club.

We go again. COYG!!! 🔴⚪️

Please support them if you can! Any amount helps! <3

Just looked this up, it looks very interesting! I'll await your thoughts. I finished reading Ode to the Half-Broken by Suzanne Palmer yesterday and loved it. Not sure what I'm feeling like picking up next!

You've made my day 🥹🥰

30. "We are not alone." Project Hail Mary, April new releases, a podcast appearance, and what I'm reading

Among other things, today's issue has my thoughts on the three books I've read so far in April: one disappointment, one didn't-love-it-but-enjoyed-in-parts-and-glad-I-read-it, and one standout (Suzanne Palmer's upcoming Ode to the Half-Broken)

29. "There's me. That's enough." March reading, new writing (including Vogue India debut!), and a newsletter recommendation

Issue number 5 of the year.

A Middle Earth March throwback Middle Earth March 2023-25

Forgot to share issue number 5 of the year two weeks ago, as well as a bonus throwback post from before that, so today you get three links!

All my Middle Earth March posts over two years collected into one tidy issue. Includes a personal essay.

So I took all of 90 minutes or so to repost this, and it’s already smashed its goal. Which, y’know:
fully deserved. ARB is a spearhead of the spec-fic criticism (and therefore, criticism period) renaissance, and its readers obviously value that.

So. Let’s get them to their stretch goals, yes? Yes!

Intergalactic Mixtape #48 Hey! Now that award nomination season is over and convention season is starting, maybe we’re all shaking off the cobwebs from our reading hyperfocus. This...

Intergalactic Mixtape is up for the week, with tons of book reviews and cool fan projects!

Thank you for mentioning my review! :)

As ever, @renay.bsky.social has the receipts.

Yeap. I have nothing more to say.

Yay! Hope the lads do you and your boy proud ❤️🤍
