Jean Valentine, wow

Outside the Frame

It is enough, now, anywhere,
with everyone you love there to talk to.

And to listen.
Slowly we can tell each other some things about our lives:
runs, rests, brief resolutions; falls, and lulls;
hard joyful runs, in certainty; dull, sweet
durances, human silences;
look back in at the children,
the regular, neutral flicker of their blood; pale, solemn,
long-legged animal-gods in their sleep,
growing into their lives, in their sleep.

This is a great book project and Bonnie's art is absolutely gorgeous. Please help to get it funded if you can.

Your feed now contains one Red Deer and several complimentary ferns. Enjoy.

A Red Deer looks through a curtain of green ferns with its antlers tangled in leafy fronds, giving the impression it's accidentally wearing a woodland hat. The softly blurred background creates a peaceful forest scene.

This one goes immediately onto my Reading List. The book has a great theme (stories in honour of Ursula Le Guin), a great editor, and an sterling list of contributors.

Out of curiosity I ran one of my texts (which is already available online) in Pangram, the AI detector thing. It thinks it's 75% likely to be AI. I obv didn't use any AI whatsoever in writing it. So yeah, miss me with "we are SO reliable in detecting AI".

"I was someone who didn’t know how to find the path he was on, the one under his feet." I've been that kid too. This is a wonderful essay.

We lost this beautiful girl four years ago today. She lived a long, good life, for which I'm grateful, but I still miss her every single day. Losing our animal family members is hard.

The fall book fair in Kyiv, due to happen this weekend, has been cancelled due to danger from Russian attacks — too many people gathered in one place. I had recorded a video at the request of my Ukrainian publishers, Apriori, as TIGANA is (still) being published there this week, bless them all.

He didn’t think we’d live to be 59, couldn’t imagine gay marriage or that we’d have a husband, and was often told he couldn’t be an out gay writer. He‘d be a little sad about our hair. But I live the life he fought for.

RIP 847 years ago Hildegarde von Bingen, abbess, mystic, theologian, musical composer, astronomer, pharmacist and doctor, and among many other things inventor/discoverer of the sacred language “Lingua ignota”, who died #onthisday in 1179 CE. (Pictured, her conception of the world as a "cosmic egg")

"This is not a collection of occasional pieces, such as a writer brings out to supplement his real work; instead this is my real work, such as it is" I learned so much from Annie Dillard.

A work in progress linocut reduction print on the theme of ‘Unusual Mammals’ for a PRINT SOCIAL project. I’ve drawn on Irish folklore/cryptozoology for this one. Without wishing to make clumsy assumptions I’m confident the brilliant illustrator @ciaraioch.bsky.social will know the story.
