Oh, I dunno. Fredric Brown gave it a whirl too.

Life is about to get very very busy through the end of the year, so this might be my last typewriter find for while…but ain’t she a beauty? (I hate repairing the carriages on these models but I’m also a total sucker for their portability and design)

Nobody took author photos like Con Sellers took author photos

Behold! The best dang frog photo I took all summer 🐸

Cultivate menefreghista (unless you’ve already cultivated it; in that case, cut back a little).

Time to wind down this Sunday and gear up for a busy week ahead. Did I pick this bottle solely for the label? Absolutely. 📚

Midway Nympho, Imperial Publishing, 1963

A Lady Named Lou, Avon Books, 1941

Occasionally IG likes to bombard me with ads for Saks. They’re hilarious to me…whaddya’ mean I can buy a thin piece of velvet ribbon on a barrette for $158?!

But-- I would never dream of-- what kind of monster do you take me for??

Proofs have arrived and we're getting so close to the finish line 🥊 Excited to share a sneak peek of the cover for A Violent Life by Erin Alexander and Tosh Berman

From the LA River’s concrete banks to the lush winding landscape of Michigan. These sights robs me of my breath, and I hope that sense awe never leaves me.

Predawn road trip with a side of Saturn 🪐

Sweet Boo loves her evening baths in her sunny little bed that rests on my desk 🥹❤️

“…her body straightened, her breasts pushed up and out, putting on dazzling display a shelf of rare design and beauty. In a moment the brassiere was floating forward. At last she was naked before him.” The Devils Lash, Newsstand Library Books, 1959

Resistance is futile, puny humans. Surrender the churu tubes and we will spare you the probing! 👽

A rather interesting repair I saw this weekend in a country cemetery 🪦

Where my heart feels full ❤️ Autumn colors breaking through, reading Jim Harrison, and enjoying the natural beauty around me. (Of course, great company and delicious coffee only enhance it all ten fold)

The rear cover of Midway Nympho, 1963 📚 I wish I could share more of my vintage sleaze on here but it doesn’t matter how tame a cover is, it always get labeled like it’s hardcore.

My budget should be happy it’s a calico design and not an orange or gray tabby - I wouldn’t be able to resist!

Nobody told me my 40s would activate a built-in weather app. Like…what do you mean my old joint injuries can now predict rainstorms? ⛈️

Genuinely can’t remember if I shared this one before but that’s what I get for waiting this long to catalog photos from five separate cemeteries 🪦

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

Is it sweater weather yet? My vintage outerwear’s just itching to leave the closet! 🍂🍃🍁

Breaking out the only guitar that’s not currently still in storage. Will feel good getting some practice in again. It’s been all work no play for months, time to change that!

Famously, between the first and the second act of Waiting for Godot, the only difference in the stage set is that a previously bare tree ‘has four or five leaves’. So what’s the main note to self I found in this copy which seems to have belonged to a stage manager called Nigel...?

Mirror mirror on the wall, who kicks all the liter on the floor?

My foreign language typewriter collection grew again today with the delivery of this UNIS tbm de Luxe from Croatia. Dig that Zagreb sticker!

Michigan mornings really are something else 😍

Ukraine’s Mykola Bazhan (1904-83) had the Midas touch; all his verse turned to gold. This let him survive, barely, Stalin’s slaughter; he could make even Socialist Realism sound good. Yet his portrait of Poland’s Adam Mickiewicz in Odesa shows that he knew what drove true poetry.

Another image from my ever-growing found skeleton photo collection 💀

Had such a blast this summer exploring my new state and visiting so many rural cemeteries. I can hardly wait to photograph more this fall! 🪦🍁🍂

After a long week, my office mate Archie and I are ready to enjoy some well deserved Friday night cocktails 🍸

Amazing detective work! bsky.app/profile/carb...

Demonic entity caught on film. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Leonora Carrington, Spiderweb (for Edward James) (tapestry, 1948)

I’ve managed resist the TASCHEN warehouse sales for the past few years, but their recent one forced me to break my spree.

Goodnight.

Super excited to see my latest zine coming together. The publisher is hustling to get this one out soon - more details forthcoming!

Just saw a $99 storage bin for your $250 12-foot skeleton and I feel we are nearing the end of Halloween Is My Personality consumption core. They’ve probably already started designing ginormous Easter tat.

It’s only been 18 years since the short stories of Breece D’J Pancake were first recommended to me - better late than never, I guess! 🫣📚

Birthday remnants: the cake has been eaten but my favorite flowers are still looking bright and cheerful🌻

Look, it’s not my fault, this little Junior just followed me home 😬
