Goodnight, from a windswept and slightly drunk friend.
👀
Walked to the pub along the coast.
Life is a horizontal fall.
Jean Cocteau, Opium (1930)
Ah, street wires. I just snapped what was overhead (it was too dark to notice the wires).
It’s last night’s sky from the front garden. All those funny little light dots are stars.
Booked!
I can’t come to the Internet right now because The Sea exists.
Zoom in, it’s incredible.
Ah, I hope you meet my lovely & brilliant friend Freya who is keynoting!
Goodnight from Chesil.
TO THE SEA ! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I just need to get paid for being dreamy-eyed and over-imaginative.
We’ll be further South but i’ll make It a stop off point on a future trip! Thanks for the recommend!
Thanks Kate, you Too!
😂 Dorset has bookshops 🤭
I’m going to fill my eyes with the sky and the sea instead (though i must tell you that autocorrect badly wanted « séance » for sea 😂)
*face of denial*
In a move which will horrify and terrify my literary friends (and isn’t that all of you?) I am packing for four days away with no books.
The wind howled so furious and uninhibited through the trees tonight that I was afraid, and clung to Merle, and we ran home.
So wesh I could havé been there 😍
Went out to buy biscuits, came back with an apricot tree.
I’ll definitely be adding this example to my list lecture bibliography.
One for the listophiles and the categorizers. As you may know, the list form is closer to my heart than almost everything, and I love a willing grapple with its meaning.
Sounds like a Pokémon
À greedy mirage.
A few of my favorites from Mary Walling Blackburn’s "Accidental Pornographies: Lesson Plans 1-9" (2010).
Etchings with charcoal, graphite, blood, and ink on paper.
After 36 years of waiting I won't believe it until I hold the damn thing in my own hands.
(I think this is either a mistake or Eldritch wryly trolling)
If you're free on Friday at noon, I'm sharing "Pointing at Clouds: Indexing, Searching, and Citing in an Age of AI Smog" at the CUNY Grad Center's spring Friends of the Library lecture 👉🏽☁️
