Family tradition states that whenever you reach a peak, you must perform a headstand. Think I might find a flatter, less precarious spot next time. (Not too shabby for 42 though!)

Did I mention that you can grab the first book in my Aggregate series “Metanoeia” in this awesome bundle along with twenty other boredom busters? itch.io/b/3969/space... 📚🚀 📚💙 #booksky

A lot of fantastic indie voices in this bundle! Fantastic deal too

Just watched the first episode of Below. Hooked. Love the commitment to cultural accuracy.

At any rate a kinda crappy day has been made so much better by finding some absolutely gorgeous #BookMail courtesy of @conradaltmann.com on the mat! Have a look at this business. And, ahem, the book has some quality blurbs, too 👀 💙📚🪐

People sell the shitiest shit imaginable and have thousands of customers (unless they lie but why would they). I can't wait for the app I've been working on for the past three years to have zero sales despite solving real problems and having no competition.

Age yourself with a childhood crush More of a late childhood crush…

Late night in Kyiv. Another drone threat has just ended. I cannot sleep. Ordered some books. The publisher whose warehouse was hit the other day suggested buying the books that survived. They have traces of fire or water damage. They called the initiative ‘The Fire Didn’t Finish Reading’.

It’s mosquitoes-in-the-bedroom-at-night season. Our headboard looks like a crime scene.

Book birthday! “All That We Can See From Here” has arrived and is beautiful!

If you love cats, vacation in Antalya. Hundreds of strays haunt the parks and coastline, eager for scritches.

Picking up the first print run of #allthatwecanseefromhere from the printer this morning. A bit stressed regarding their track record for trimming accuracy…

@thepoisongarden.bsky.social the flowering phase is past here in Antalya, but the coast and old walls are covered with opportunistic yellow henbane (H. aureus) and Castor (Ricinus communis).

Only two more hours to grab this awesome bundle for an amazing price. You might just find your new favorite author.

Thinking about digital inheritance today and how that might look if the deceased /is/ the digital inheritance. #digitalpersonhood

She was his only tie to this world, as shackles; and now he was free of her influence. Let the dead lie, she certainly did when she was alive.

The dawn showers were a cleansing balm to the city, washing the filth from the air and wafting the sweet smell of urea-laced petrichor through the urban center. In the suburbs, that aroma was replaced by floundering sod and dying earthworms.

Someday I will live in a city that doesn't smell of piss, exhaust and cigarettes. And if not me, I hope my daughters do.

Yes

Scrambling madly for every discarded morsel and wayward crumb, they disperse frantically under the advance of every maniacally gesticulating toddler.

Is it worth trying to reclaim the word “prompt” as a non-ai cue for writing, or should we just start using “cue”?

I only want to read @beckyferreira.bsky.social about the fly brain www.404media.co/a-digital-fl...

Even though the scream of power tools had yet to accost the valley, the cool morning breeze carried the unmistakable odors of embedded sweat and stale tobacco. Work was about to commence.

Bad business idea: Donner Kebab at an alpine ski resort.

"The sad matter of the fact is that this is the end of our relationship, for me, but the beginning of our relationship for you. Now I only have the memories of our future conversations to look back on." From “Tempus Contra”. One of the short stories included in my upcoming collection. #atwcsfh 📚💙 📚🤏🏼

Not to mention botanizing and rock hounding
