This feeling never gets old. My handwritten novel is now typed and complete. Fresh edits are already underway. But for now, I typed “[THE END]” at the conclusion of this ms. #writing #sff

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Books alone can’t fix everything. But they can help us think critically and inspire our actions to build a better world.

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. i really want to make more comics like this

Thanks Gabino for #FridayReads! For readers of weird literature, ANTS WAKING is a fairy tale noir akin to Alix E. Harrow's The Ten Thousand Doors of January crossed with Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" with a touch of Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury. bookshop.org/p/books/ants...

Thanks, Gabino, as always. ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an examination of the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and my grief at her death. It’s experimental in the way it tries to reimagine both writing about comics and writing about grief. #FridayReads

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s share some books and boost all signals. Repost this & let us know what to repost for you. Angry? Here’s one about injustice, racism, and colonialism. You know, with monsters, magic, murder, grief, and ghosts. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope – now simulations suggest it could be a primordial black hole, something we have never seen before

120/ But back to LR 1.02.145: Gandalf says that in “that land” (Mordor, although presumably just the borders), Gollum learned much—“too much for his comfort” (which is interesting in itself. What would be uncomfortable for Gollum to learn?)

I really need to get back to the zoo, I haven't managed to go in ages and it is a lovely place for photography. Maybe as a treat when I finish the current draft of the #WIP. Also from the archives, on the same day as the previous photo: Tiger (blep).

I may regret this, but for every like, I'll give a fact about the "Hunt for Gollum" story from the text.

The political insight here reads as if it were written today.

Dave Filoni and Lywen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new co-presidents of Lucasfilm • Dave Filoni will oversee all creative development • Lywen Brennan will oversee executive duties • Announcement is expected to be made in a couple weeks (via Puck News)

Babs is brilliant!

I could do this for a few, but the first I saw as a kid forever changed me: Princess Mononoke. In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart.

Spirited Away

I should probably plug where to get the book :D books2read.com/thepikeboys But also, you can get paperback signed copies from me! I'll ship them anywhere!!

Though I was very struck by The Boy And The Heron. Probably the cleverest and most meaningful use of time travel I've seen in a film outside of maybe Interstellar. You can't change your fate, but what if you could reframe the way you relate to it? More heavy lifting than most Ghibli films but lovely
