Thank you Jeff VanderMeer though you will likely never see this review, all of your Ghostbirds remain in my soul forever.

This book reads like a long slow death, yet it ends gently without the violent impact we often associate with death. Nothingness, or ghostness, or air as a source of freedom & a type of being are themes in this story that melt into ideas of camoflauge or having malleable borders or edges. (fin)

I include this quote because after concluding this book I felt suddenly very connected to this epic poem and the Simorgh .. that mystical bird of all birds (literally made of all birds). I often feel this way when I read Jeff Vandermeer, finding connections to humanities oldest symbols and lessons.+

my review of the strange bird by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

“The Beginning is lost;
the End stretches into eternity.
Don't bother with them, they're all irrelevant.
And since all is really nothing,
then nothing is truly everything.“- Attar of Nishapur, The Conference Of the Birds +(cont)

Cultural exchange, for my dear friend @doldrum.bsky.social.

That little cat monster eating spaghetti is called a Crinjolinha and... oh... oouugh aah NNGH my head HURTS

Indica escapes the rain .. in my sketchbook also <3

Too few people realize that widespread knowledge of Nazi death camps came very late. Many who escaped Nazi death camps took on great risk to warn others, and were not always believed.

as always your work is baffling and overflowing with millions of micro universes 👏👏

ornate scenes for the ornate scene fans #PornfolioDay

thats awesome fantastic work !

These are cool the background on the cover for Baffling looks like Cynthia Consentino’s “The Women’s Room” (2005)

Orc city, fickle and multifaceted, some she loves kindly, others she spits out and leaves to die.

fpr my 26th birthday I think I should get to name somebody or give them a secret name. For our birthdays we should get to give a very special present to someone else we love.

i have had a log of names i collect since I was around 8-10 years old and that has been very nice as a trans person who also writes stories with characters. My dream is to gift someone the perfect name, but I’m not going to have children so if u really loved me u would let me name you i think

originally asked to be called Milo when i was 15 then i switched to arlo but rveryone named their puppy dogs that and it didn’t suit my needs anymore, then i took finch because ima bird <3, but then i realized im part of a system and we have a couple other names that stay sort of private

actually, this is so sad .. whatever happened to orc city found family

thats really sad actually :(

It would be some kind of ironic if the NYT attempted ratfuck turned into a lot of people having a new understanding of refugee and diaspora complexity and a new feeling about What Even Is Citizenship Anyway

my snailsona, mallow <3

i’m about to come into an SSD and a sturdy thumb drive to store all my files on which means I can start writing again 😇🤧😭 im so excited!! I have a 9 story collection of post humanist horror to finish, a clifi short I’d like to release with a future comic, and a MASSIVE comic script to finish

Happy Birthday Jeff VanderMeer thank you for all the great reads! I have been reading your books since I was 14 and i am now 25 so it has been just over a decade and has brought me so much joy!
