Rose endgame.

Give me stone bestiaries. Give me lithic libraries of strangeness. Let me look up and see impossible animals, a telling of folklore above me. May carvings roar their stories as part of the transmission of the living lore. – #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

proud to report that the years have been unable to quench the little voice inside me that says “going on a three-day trip where you’ll be working the whole time? you’d better bring a print copy of the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant in case you have time for a little light reading!!”

Interesting juxtaposition of first and last headlines in @seattletimes.com.

A screenshot of the Seattle Times with the top headline "Bezos dismisses AI job-loss fears, predicts shorter workweeks" and the bottom headline "Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs."

Warty pumpkin has a stellar stem. 11/10 full diva

Orange pumpkin with green bumps. It has a twisty dark stem. We’re talking Jim Henson creature creation levels of awesome.

Close-up of the pumpkin stem. Stunning! It’s dark green and tan twisted together. It’s curving up as if you twisted it around your finger. Decorative gourd season in full effect!

Had a wonderful event at #AnnieBlooms Books in conversation with @michelleruizkeil.bsky.social, as kind as she is talented, and met @gigilittle.bsky.social for the first time (seen here with @forestavenuepress.bsky.social in debut selkie merch)!
