Amazing night at Twilight Sad this week. My first ever gig at the Barrowlands!

Platonic Peepshow? (Gauffered edges on a 1546 Plato owned by 1890s collector Henry Probasco! (Case folio Y 642 .P525)) @newberrylibrary.bsky.social

I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.

@jeanielaub.bsky.social @alysdragon.bsky.social I hope you don’t mind me tagging. You’ve both been so supportive to me and I wanted to share something I’ve done that I think turned out quite nice. 🫀

Here is a poem I’ve wrote. It feels quite heavy goth. I hope you like it. grevilleandthetombstones.blogspot.com/2026/05/prot...
