Brittany Howard, lead singer of the Alabama Shakes.
Enjoying live music with a friend is a balm for the soul. Brittany Howard was transportive last night. Just beautiful

Our mini golden doodle looking peaceful while wearing his doggy life jacket on a boat. The sun is shining on him as he gazes at the camera.
I have a free day & I’d planned to immerse myself in my writing project. Instead, I’m at the veterinary hospital with my epileptic dog who is exhibiting new symptoms. This waiting room is always depressing. Feeling sad for all the stressed out pet lovers here.
Hoping my sweet buddy will be ok.
As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview.

Twin blooms of white hibiscus flowers.
Leaf suspended in spiderweb between two thin branches.
Squirrel peeking out of a hollow spot in tree trunk.
Beautiful things seen on recent walks. #TinyJoys

We've sold HALF of our physical subscriptions to THE END TIMES by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social. A post-apocalyptic yarn delivered in a year's worth of newspapers. We're only ever going to print 500 copies of each issue. Get in on it. Coming this November.

Current summer read is MURDER TAKES A VACATION and hot damn @lauralippman.bsky.social is not letting me down! This is going to be read in one satisfactory gulp, I suspect.
