I was tickled that the Swede kept ooohing and aaaahing over so many things he saw in Portland.

goooood morning it’s another cloudy gross one, cool but dry and gray - and we had a marvelously sociable loop, greeting several dogs we hadn’t seen in awhile and visiting a couple of neighbor ladies so yes, it’s true: Lucy Loved That Walk

Annihilation always makes Halloween lists, so I thought I'd do a thread of creepy reads. Starting today with a flat-out modern masterpiece, Max Lury's No Ghosts. Thoroughly contemporary and disturbing grounded in deep characterization, and, in part, outdoing Back Rooms while also its own thing. 1

Around Portland, showing Johannes Helden around, a really interesting Swedish multimedia environmental artist who now kinda loves the McMenamins vibe. Plus the urban walks and all the fruit trees and gardens. Etc et al.

Highly recommend the Australian indigenous art exhibit at the Portland Art Museum. portlandartmuseum.org/event/the-st...

three pieces in shape similar to skateboards Wingu Tinaima Pitjantjatjara, about 1917-2010 Minyma Tjuta (Seven Sisters), 2006 Irrunytju, Western Australia
Acrylic on canvas
Purchased with funds donated by Supporters and Patrons of Indigenous Art, 2006

Kunmanera (Patju) Presley Pitjantjatjara, 1945-2025
Markurapiti. 2015 Tjuntjuntjara, Western Australia

Markurapiti offers a bird's-eye view of a sacred underground water source on Kunmanara (Patju) Presley's Ancestral land in the Great Victoria Desert.

abstraction of red and white and orange squares with very minute detail almost like filigree, apologies did not get the artist name

Acrylic on canvas

white circles and other shapes with faded other colors ghosting through

this, thanks. also SF core readership thinks of itself as a community, is smaller than the general readershop, and thus reaching them through SF news outlets is easier to alert to a new book.

Voyager 1 is running on less memory than a single photo in your camera roll—69 KB. Its data is saved to an 8-track tape & software was developed when "the cloud" was in the sky. NASA sends commands and the old thing answers. And yet your brand new laptop freezes because you opened too many tabs.

Writer and multimedia artist Johannes Heldén, visiting Portland house guest, hits a great ball at the Rose City Golf Course, *watched by a coyote* (upper left). As the guy nice enough to let him take a shot said, "You're representing Sweden, so make it good."

Last week was prep and today is first day of shooting on Fog City. My bestie is in San Francisco for a couple of months on the grip crew. He told me some of the antique cars have been fitted with electric motors. Smart!

A foggy morning in San Francisco where a movie crew has set up. Orange cones, giant light diffusion, old timey cars. Its fun to watch from the outside, but its a grueling job to be on a movie crew. Long hours, very little rest. Takes a toll on your body. I always stay for the credits when I go to the movies. Everyone below the line who gets paid hourly deserves my attention and thanks.

Good news for readers who like my work / bad news otherwise: Ran the gamut of the yearly physical, tests, and maintenance/ preventative stuff and am rambunctuously, almost audaciously healthy.

I dunno, possibly. But we did 30 zoom events with in convo partners like David Duchovny and Lili Taylor. So maybe partly that but also at first some percentage of reader reviews indicated they wanted a more SF element and/or Jane to be a better parent lol. Honestly, I have no idea why, though.

Well, readers, you've done it: Even the one novel of mine that really tanked, Hummingbird Salamander, has now earned out its pretty large advance. Absolution earned out when it hit trade paperback, and the Ambergris reissues are selling very well. Thank you very much. Extremely grateful.

"I came to the ruins a seventeen-march after leaving the coast. I did not expect to find them—not so close, nor so easily. Many hundreds had searched before. Many had died. Or so I had been led to believe." - opening of the story

Someone elsewhere asked for harrowing "travel" nonfic.... No Mercy by Redmond O'Hanlon, published as Congo Journey in the UK, is one of the greatest such books I have ever encountered. Now have to read it again.

Rob, reassure me here. That you are a park ranger or something because I feel very strongly wildlife in places like that shouldn't have to worry about humans blundering around at night taking photos.
