Accidentally wore my Taco Bell shirt today but serendipitous solidarity is still solidarity.
I’m about to start reading Jack Vance’s “The Green Pearl.” This is a thread in which I will post all of Vance’s descriptions of the hats the people in the story are wearing.
Spending my day reading mediocre science fiction, doing laundry, and listening to Fumio Miyashita.
You’d think my favorite part would be the word balloon originating from three sources, one of which is someone’s finger, but it’s actually this abomination
Can’t stop thinking about the graphic design of this Argentinian “Best of the Housemartins” cassette
Anyway I’m attempting to organize the shelves at home and found evidence of my wife’s previous life as a middle school Language Arts teacher when she taught Beowulf (online! during Covid!) and went above and beyond. Five versions! Those kids didn’t know how good they had it.
I love this bookstore shelf sign. I think it’s the use of “something called…”
We have (an earlier version of) this print on our wall and it has brought nothing but good fortune to our home. You should buy one for *your* home.
Like most people, my record collection has been in a constant state of churn. Things come in and go out pretty regularly. But as I clean my house today I started thing about which record I currently have that I’ve had the longest. I think it’s this one.
My Dearest Cecilia - I fear that the Online Air Conditioning Discourse in which we find ourselves embroiled may never end...

Today's acquisitions (not as much Keith Laumer as I originally thought)
I finished Lyonesse last night and am ready to move onto the sequels, which I have never read before.
Bought this off-register print of the cover of the cassette version of “Master of Reality” today.
I had a good time yelling the lyrics to every song during the Subhumans set last night but the star of the evening was this GIGANTIC plate of Ethiopian food I ate before the show.
Luckily, I have a good needle {Three Stooges voice} assoitment to help me bind these ‘zines
In a frankly hilarious development, I have started hand-binding copies of my ‘zine “Low Effort” rather than just stapling them.
The people at the Birmingham Pen Company stamp a serial number on all of their pens that tells you when they were made, which is how I know that today is my pen’s 4th birthday.
This Father’s Day, let’s all spend a moment thinking about the time in the 1980s when my mom and dad got matching perms
I made a few of these at FedEx Office (RIP Kinko’s) and they are darker than I’d like but also I don’t care.
