They are literal worldbuilders weaving the most incredible narratives out of the sparsest physical evidence.” p. 107

I'm loving @confusionmi.bsky.social videos! It's like catching a panel in the comfort of my own home, and it's really taking the edge off of the post Con sadness!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Thanks to @confusionmi.bsky.social for this interview and for the opportunity to talk about @calendaroffools.bsky.social current project, the “Missed-Fits” anthology! Link to the project in the comments :)

Missed-Fits: A Calendar of Fools Anthology An anthology featuring stories of awkward lengths about things that are missing or out of place.
