Our friend Tarra @wellntruly joins us in uncovering the most unexpected development yet in the
Varney case. Charles Holland has two gay uncles. And they’ve arrived to
answer the all-important question: “Who the devil is Josiah Crinkles?”
SUCH an exquisite joy that it seemed to have sent me halfway into a casket of my own, based on my recording quality! Ha ha haaaah
Anyway if you need a distraction today or any day from [spins current events wheel], may I recommend VARNEY THE VAMPIRE. Come for the vampires, stay for the vampire mermaids.
No suelo compartir mi trabajo creativo como encuadernadora porque me da pudor. Supongo que tiene que ver con los siempre miles de errores que uno ve en su propio trabajo siempre perfectible. De todos modos comparto con ustedes este ejercicio que llevé a cabo el año pasado sobre el libro El viaje de Pedro el afortunado de Augusto Strindberg—regalo de la escritora Andrea Maturana y antigua pieza de la biblioteca de su padre ♥️— El libro no tenía tapas, por lo que realicé sobre de él una variación de la encuadernación “sacred-binding” de @kathyabbotty con papel de algodón hecho a mano y troquel decorativo en las tapas. ¡Espero les guste!
[translation: “I don’t usually share my creative work as a bookbinder because it makes me shy. I guess it’s because you always see in your own work the thousands of errors you need to fix. Anyway, here’s an exercise I did last year on the book El viaje de Pedro el afortunado by Augusto Strindberg—a gift from the writer Andrea Maturana and an old piece from his father’s library. The book had no covers, so I used a variation of the “sacred binding” by @kathyabbotty with handmade cotton paper and decorative dye on the covers. I hope you like it!”]
¡Es tan hermoso, op! Usted debe ser muy orgullosa.
look at this hero practicing responsible social distancing during a typhus epidemic on a becalmed ship I have never respected a man more
Predictions are uttered by prophets (free of charge); by clairvoyants (who usually charge a fee, and are therefore more honored in their day than prophets); and by futurologists (salaried). Prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. It is not the business of novelists. A novelist’s business is lying.
Ursula K. Le Guin in the introduction to The Left Hand of Darkness
there’s nothing quite like reading a book and being like AHA I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, and feeling immensely clever when it’s just…….plot
