Good morning from the pond!

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”

This is great. Over halfway to goal in just a few days. Every bit counts. @tananarivedue.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/help-prisc...

I wrote a reverse dungeon crawl called CANDLE. You go up instead of down. Things are still trying to kill you. https://loottheroom.itch.io/candle

I found one washed up on the beach once. (Dec 1, 2024) It was both hard & slightly squishy. It could have been plastic or rubber but it wasn't. Very "did this fall from space" feel.

Wee moth on the kitchen window.

Lightning is a kind of fabric, as evidenced by how it is measured in bolts. Ethereal and glowing gold, crackling every moment—kings used to wear it into battle, draped with shining murder

I was actually born with only one wolf inside me so have spent my life waiting for an emergency wolf transplant. We have a donor wolf. What we lack is a surgeon who isn't a coward.

Just finished reading FIYAH #38, a really strong issue of the magazine, and T.T. Gibran's story "Minority Museum" broke my heart. fiyahlitmag.com/shop/issues/...

book mail!

The broken plastic frog unearthed in the garden has been our household god for two years now. She is benevolent.

Today's stamp #art.

I saw my first fledgling blackbird of the year today. It's always such a lovely moment. In honour of that brave little soul, I did a drawing. #UKwildlife #drawing #art

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

book mail arrived #poetry

Today's #StampArt

Conspiratorial thinking does the state's own work by affirming some all powerful scope of influence it doesn't actually have. Really unhelpful in every way

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

The story is a legit 700 word flash piece btw. SF/fantasy vibes, furry but accessible, suitable for all ages, and illustrated throughout.

Erythronium 'pagoda', yellow dog-tooth violets for #SundayYellow 🌱 #Bloomscrolling #Flowers

This absolutely cheered me up this morning, if you like bees and flowers, it might cheer you up too 🐝🌼 One of my favourite critters on one of my favourite flowers. #IrishWildlife

Between Ave T & U on the promenade in Seaside Oregon there is an ongoing community knit project full of knit & crotchet versions of the creatures that live in our tide pools. #InverteFest

'sup, sickos — who likes FOUND FOOTAGE???? good, because SO DO I and I am going to spend my tax monies on BRINGING MORE FICTION INTO THE WORLD and editing an anthology this summer. because we need more weird art and I want YOU to help make it. 👀⬇️ mercfennwolfmoor.carrd.co#recordedantho

heyo my scifi linguist book came out this week! Languages, spies, and lots of nerdery us.macmillan.com/books/978125... (I'm serious about the nerdery)

Ran into my neighbours today who asked me when I’m replanting my balcony. Apparently several neighbours enjoy the bright flowers I usually plant. Just goes to show, you might be making other people smile and not know it.

Today's library haul.

I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing, In my veins, in my bones I feel it,-- The small water seeping upward, The tight grains parting at last. When sprouts break out, Slippery as fish, I quail, lean to beginnings, sheath-wet. --Theodore Roethke, from Cuttings

Do art. Childhood you remembers. Trust your inner child. Do art.

One thinks of all the hands That are raising dingy shades In a thousand furnished rooms. --T.S. Eliot, from Preludes #poetry

'If Polari was a kind of Birdsong' by Kym Deyn "Each footstep of mine is queer. My eyelash mites have only sucked lesbians – oh God!"

Also, a stranger liked my pants so much they gave me a zine and it’s super cool. Sometimes I Iove people so much.

Finished May's postcard and ordered both April and May since Moo is having their spring sale!

A bit of excitement on my morning walk...I think I'm going to see baby red-shouldered hawks! 😍 #photography #birds

Since we're not sure what's wrong with him and if it's easily treatable or will require xrays etc., they estimated on the high side and I paid $300 down to get him examined. If anyone wants to pitch a few bucks in to help, or if you want to order an enamel pin, I have a kofi! ko-fi.com/tigerbattails

Today is Tax Day here in the U.S., which means it’s also OUTLAWS’s birthday. Two years ago today, Robert Hood and his Merry Men arrived in the world. Happy Bookiversary, boys! #BookSky 💙📚 📚💙 www.ilenegoldman.com/books

I’m not sure why I’m getting such a kick out of this, but on my walk this morning, my foot slid on something laying on the sidewalk. Looking down, angry and expecting to see a pile of dog crap, I found, much to my delight, that for the first time in my life, I’d actually slipped on a banana peel.

Me: Okay, here's everything I need to do today. My Body: You may do one thing. Me: WTF? You see this list, right? My Body: One thing. Me: Screw you! I'm going to be productive today! My Body: You may now do half a thing.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

So what I'm guessing here is the treasure could be under any of the four, but the homeowner will come out and yell at you if you try to dig more than one hole. If only someone was here to give you a hint, you could at least make it a Monty Hall problem.

It's National Poetry Month. I started my whole Patreon journey by sending out original poems on postcards. There are over 150 #poetry posts--some in audio--available to my patrons. This was a Found Poem I made in 2018. I still agree with it.

I was an e-arc reader for this, and it's the only one I've ever read twice because I loved it so much. <3 #books

I read a wild and entertaining book last week called The Loudest Place on Earth by Ken Ziegler. #books It's a weird mishmash of genres: a little horror (rats), a little literary, a lot of humor, and a bunch of urban fantasy. I'm always on the hunt for strange and original work--and this is it!

Meet My Books: Greeks Bearing Gifts—a “Twilight Zone” meets Stephen King horror novella (spooky, not scary) Outlaws—a contemporary retelling of the Robin Hood legend with Robin and his Merry Men as homeless veterans 📚💙 #Booksky www.ilenegoldman.com/books
