The Night Land is really amazing. Not the easiest read, though.

Saw this caption on a Reddit photo: "The James Webb telescope took this wide view photo of Uranus featuring six of its 27 moons" and decided not to read the comments. I stand by my choice.

This freaking "winter" weather. It has been like 50F on Long Island with constant overcast and the humidity equivalent of walking through someone else's cold sweat for the last week. Finally, today, sunshine! But I'd still like it a little cooler too. LOL!😜

Just opened my favorite kind of Word doc--a blank page. New story imminent. πŸ˜ƒ

My tree decorated itself for Halloween. Candy corn, anyone? This is about three feet long, and it wasn't there yesterday. Cue spooky music! #halloween #fungus

Thanks to @alpbeck.bsky.social for this series of vintage reads posts for @hwany.bsky.social! THE OTHER by Thomas Tryon is a masterpiece of dark lit. Beautiful prose, psychological twists, some of the darkest scenes I've ever read. Belongs in the top 10 of 20th century horror classics.

Writer's life Upside: Reading a friend's great novel before it's published. :) Downside: Years passing before a terrific publisher buys it. :( Upside: Excitement and happiness that the rest of the world will now read your friend's awesome novel! :) Can't tag the author just yet...

Caught MULHOLLAND DRIVE at a local arts cinema this week. 35mm projection of a scratchy print probably 20 years old. 45 minutes in the film broke, and the projectionist screened the last reel out of focus. Somehow this only made it all the more "Lynchian" and enjoyable.
