a book cover, featuring a pretty and colourful display of fruits and leaves
very much enjoyed a great article by @maxcavitch.bsky.social in @tamarindlit.co.uk just now, in which he talks about his collection of rocks, and how they all .....taste different?!
You can read it online...but in print, its a very beautiful thing:
Thanks so much! Apologies for not seeing this sooner (I don't look at BSKY enough!). Thanks again for your very kind words!
--Max
Very happy to see my new book on display at Berggasse 19. Thanks to Moritz Hoffmann and all my friends at Vienna's Sigmund Freud Museum!

Before *or* after you watch the extraordinary film, "Speaking of Home," consider reading Naama Rotem's excellent review at "Psyche on Campus." (The link to the film itself--which is free to watch--can be found in the review.)

Vivian Jenna Wilson is a hero--and an implicit rebuke to the craven US Democratic Senators and Congresspeople who won't muster the courage to do much more than attack their own party leader, Chuck Schumer. Shame on them.

The good news is that DT and his puppet-masters are reinvigorating the EU, bolstering its sense of common cause. Ultimately, Agent Orange's isolationism, criminality, and enslavement to Moscow will make the US a pariah state--not just shunned by the world's democracies but actively opposed by them.
