Okay just how amazing is Alex and their commission of Sam! They totally brought her to life and to this day I will sit and stare at this with the goofiest, happiest grin on my face!

Applies to novels, too, and it kinda hit a nerve as I'm prepping to go back into edits soon

I made a small ink drawing of a woman in a large, impossible dress festooned with bows. The dress is stippled, which took forever. So many tiny dots to indicate gradation in value.

When did the badger badger mushroom song come out? 1 September 2003 It consists of 12 animated cartoon badgers doing calisthenics, a mushroom in front of a tree, and a snake in the desert. The Flash cartoon is accompanied by a bass line, above which a voiceover sings the names of what is shown on screen. This Flash cartoon was published on 1 September 2003.

The Coming Enshittification of Public Libraries Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry

This rather sucks: apparently the company behind Libby/Overdrive (which is the dominant way to access ebooks etc. through your local library) is now in the hands of the vulture capitalists who took down Toys R’Us.

And signs of enshittification are already showing.

And then: slipping back in. There was the initial surface tension of unfamiliarity (who wrote this thing? they must have been going through it), and lines I didn’t remember sometimes hit me like buses. But in the slow shaping and re-shaping of sentences—in becoming, again, these characters I’d come to know—it was the same feeling as, toward the end of this pass, when I found myself rushing through some Manhattan subway station with two suitcases (which I would never recommend, especially in summer), sidestepping people on the platform and slotting myself in and shallowly breathing in the reek like some nasty madeleine and thinking: the body remembers. Because maybe your past selves don’t always leave you behind. Because sometimes if they’ve poured out enough of themselves for you, in words and phrases and shadings of sense-memory, you can slip in among them, breathe in time to their heartbeats. Because one day this version of you, too, will join their ghostly crowd.

I use Brevo, the free plan is limited to 300 emails a day (but you can store as many contacts as you want), which is enough for a small thing like mine. It's got a drag and drop editor so it can be as simple or as fancy as you like, and you really don't have to be that tech-savvy.

Hello! Grammarly just announced that they've been using your work to train their AI. If you still use their garbage service, stop now.
