If anyone knows any big cat-friendly charities or philanthropists, we could desperately use some help right now. After taking in the ferals for rehab, we're stretched very thin. And then this huge bill for our older girl...

We're very much at a breaking point.

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. ARE YOU HUNGRY?

80 percent. That spoiler bears fruit 80 percent into the book. I imagine it's a more impactful moment, more beautifully grief laden than my spoiled encounter with it.

Please be more thoughtful DAW.

Silly me. I went looking for posts about or by the author because I'm enjoying this book a great deal. Now here's a tidy little spoiler. I'm 75 percent in. I knew a shoe was yet to drop but had suspended that concern. 😞

Have you listened to any audiobooks lately? I would love to hear your thoughts on audiobook narration via the link above.

Hi everyone,

As part of my dissertation, I am researching audiobook narration.

If you have listened to an audiobook within the last two years, or have previously been a frequent audiobook user, I would really appreciate your thoughts!

You can find the survey here:

Early happy birthday 🎂 🥳 !

The world is very bad, but I found a squirrel that looks like Napoleon

if anyone needs to ask questions re: making a self-hosted website for their games/art/comics/etc, i have a resource list on my site and also my mentions are always open because personal websites are my passion

This whole thread. I wonder what to do when another writer posts something that is clearly, to me at least, AI art. Point out politely that it's not cool to do that? It's a fraught space.

Here's @samkbloch.bsky.social's essay, which remains an essential work on an increasingly critical (and often overlooked) natural resource: placesjournal.org/article/shad...

And here's his brand-new book, which we encourage you to read and share! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/672379...

tired of finding out this kind of news via a solemn jpeg

Same. You do! This is a great list! Excited to dip in and Learn Some Things!

"Each new book is entirely another realm, in which one must try to find its form & its sensations, & the difficulties are the same as at the start. I see no progression. There is no technical experience gathered for me."

Science fiction is vast and the nature of imagined future worlds is diverse, thank goodness.

Clark watches as a vault on wheels goes into the cave on rails.

Kenneth Clark, Director of the National Gallery, safely stows a Rembrandt in a North Wales cave, 1942.

Forgot to post this on Lord Clark’s birthday the other day. Today it’s Rembrandt’s turn.

Animal Architecture: In Conversation An animal studies scholar talks with an architect and an architecture writer about designing for, and with, nonhuman species.

Architects don’t just design for humans. They design, intentionally or not, for all of the nonhuman species affected by human-built structures. Western architecture has long been a driver of ecological destruction: How can we build to accommodate other species as cohabitants of a shared environment?
