Just asked Linus, who is half way through authority (I’m reading it aloud to them), what L’s Southern Reach musical would look like and Linus suggested that it would be just Annihilation and maybe an opera. So I’m staying tuned for that. The kids are alright?

Table with material ephemera, syllabus, books with scalpels on top for book anatomy experiments, examples of experiments in organic books, and examples of weird books to explore at our panel

Had so much fun talking “book history on a budget” w/ @ldicuirci.bsky.social at the Bibliographical Society of America this weekend (also featuring MARCH makerspace researcher Sophia Westfall and her experiments with ink and paper!) Am so grateful for the great conversations all day long

The hottest social media app is called Loomings. it gathers people who have little or no money in their purse and those who have nothing particular to interest them on shore and sends them to sail about a little and see the watery parts of the world.

I’ve been limiting myself to Bookwyrm and Instagram for a while now so please forgive me if I default to posting pictures of rocks I’ve met and quotes from books I’m reading for non-work purposes.
