Currently reading @jenstjude.bsky.social’s affirming af WHERE YOU’LL FIND US and 100% sat upright with the mention of Cory McCarthy’s MAN O WAR on p79. 🫡 Anyway, read this book right now.

The cover for Jen St Jude’s WHERE YOU’LL FIND US featuring two people walking toward a two story house set in a field and woods all doused in starry darkness, swirling ribbons of reds and greens seem to guide them there.

Every day I thank @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for feeding my @stephengrahamjones.com addiction.

This is what my cat looks like on my legs. Ari is quite partial to leg time. 🥹

The catio crew 😏

Ari the white and grey lynx point Siamese and Kaz the black Bombay cat explore the catio, squinting at the sun. The concrete floor is in shade with a shaft of sunlight cutting across Ari’s back.

Good day, here are my cats.

My two cats, Ari (the white and grey lynx point Siamese in front) and Kaz (the black Bombay with gold eyes sitting behind) staring at me in the office in front of their cat tree and the screened-in door where they are quietly and determinedly demanding grass party, a celebrated event where I pull too-long grass from the sliver of soil at the fence and they dance around like adorable bears nipping at the foliage with their teeth. They don’t know that there is no more grass.

My friend Reem’s son Adam turns 13 today! He’s already lived through so much for one of such young age. If you can, send a little gift to: gofund.me/1452759ba

A smiling teenage Adam stands in front of his tent in Gaza dressed in a grey jacket, plaid shirt, turtleneck and dark blue jeans. His sneakers are white and black and he stands on sand. He’s giving a jaunty pose, thumbs up.

Hey all! It’s been a while since I shared my dear friend’s Musa’s campaign. His middle child Saeb just turned 8 and if you have a few $€£ to send their way now is the perfect time. chuffed.org/project/mosa...

Went across town today for the first time in aaaages and popped by the fab North Figueroa Bookshop. Nabbed a signed copy of @thomasha.bsky.social’s UNCERTAIN SONS!

A shot of the frontage of the North Figueroa Bookshop on Figueroa in Highland Park, taken from across the street. The shop is quite large, and the building painted black with white above where the name of the bookshop is painted.

If anything should be required reading right now, it’s this: EMPIRE OF AI by Karen Hao is excellent. #BookSky

A screenshot of the audiobook cover of Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in San Altman’s OpenAI by Karen Hao. It is a gradient of pink to orange and looks like an LP cover with the text all in the middle circle.

Anyway… Ari will make things better.
