Goodnight from the twitching lace curtain radar network of Maiden Lane, on high alert after yesterday’s Wishblood vandalism. Goodnight from Gabriel Withall, burying his father’s clasp knife in Ruddle Wood in hopes of summoning Hal the Cutter to his aid. Goodnight from Hookland.

Sometimes I wonder if our culture's fascination with apocalyptic and post apocalyptic novels and movies, is a product of our collective unconscious trying to tell us to prepare for something.

I could have done this a lot more easily by walking around from hatch to hatch and using the comm to contact each transport directly, but it would have been ridiculously obvious that I was doing something, even if the humans couldn’t tell what it was.

#JoCoCruise! Spent last week on the ever-magical @jococruise.bsky.social. Always the most creative, chaotic, fun "work" week of my year. Fun fact: I'm HORRIBLE about taking pics. I never remember to. Thank goodness there are insanely talented folks like John Scalzi watching, snapping and posting.

From #AHAPerspectives in 2021: Vaccine hesitancy is "a 21st-century problem," wrote Gareth Millward on the modern goal of infectious disease eradication. "Vaccine refusal is a bigger problem for public health professionals today than it was just 30 years ago." 🗃️

Personally I'm fine being identified as a science fiction author. It's what I generally write. Also science fiction is a hugely capacious in terms of what you can write inside of it. I've never felt limited in subject or time or place.

Goodnight from the Coreham police canteen, where DS Nokes is grounding himself with a bacon bap after this evening’s star rot cult unpleasantness. Goodnight from Annabel Hubbard, listening at the door as her parents argue about dealing with a generational curse. Goodnight from Hookland.

Imagine a world where nations help instead of trying to occupy each other. We would all be residents of our tiny Earth in this endless universe. There would be no foreigners anymore. Think of the joy and belonging that would spread everywhere. 🌟 (Share stories that help people find commonality)

A lovely little profile page for one J. G. Ballard of Shepperton, Middx, from May 1962’s “New Worlds Science Fiction” magazine. In it, Ballard’s then-radical belief that SciFi should turn from rocket ships to “inner space” is respectfully referenced. A revolution on that principle was on its way.

I don't mind a little grain in photos (particularly concert photos, where they add to the atmosphere) and in any event I shoot RAW format so there are lots of ways to massage the picture in post. I unapologetically tweak levels and occasionally paint out an errant microphone.

We have got to that point in the greening of the year where you can no longer rely upon Stay Belows being at their winter mud. The deep pools and ponds of the county wake with a hunger, wake with a glimpsing of faces floating in the neath. Parental scarelore blossoms. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982

I knew Kevin from the early days of the blogosphere. He was smart and thoughtful (the first does not always imply the second) and a great read. He will be missed.

I am at the Victoria & Albert Museum today & delighted to find “Tippoo’s Tiger,” a wooden statue of a tiger eating a British soldier, which makes the sound of the soldier’s wails when cranked. It was owned by Tipu Sultan of Seringapatam prior to his death at the hands of British soldiers.

I know the hills of England are hollow for I have put my ear to them an hear the century-slow breathing of dragons and sleeping kings. Put my ear to them and heard the distant bells of St. Martin's Land, a swinging of hammers in the Devil's own forges. – #CLNolan #Folklore
