I have circumvented the obligation part of this by accidentally making (a specific subset of) ships my new special interest while researching for the next book.

I don’t know how old K1 is, but we had a brief spate of “relationship” news from school last year in Group 7 (age ~10-11) that my kids reported on with bafflement and which evaporated completely after about four months - maybe you’ll get a little reprieve over there too?

🌟 Shortlisted for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction 🌟

As it follows two young people through a surreal and vividly imagined landscape, Jared Pechaček’s debut considers power, tradition, and the possibility of rejecting expectations in search of a better future.

A copy of The West Passage rests on a black shelf against a white wall, next to a small bouquet of brightly colored flowers.

A quote from The West Passage reads, "A songbird flitted overhead, and the vast silence of the Passage swallowed it up. This place was too somber for song. There were bones in the walls and blood in the floor. Kew swallowed. No ink, no tempera, no gesso or gold leaf had prepared him for this."

'Wij zijn de doornenhaag waar fascisme zich doorheen moeten klauwen. Het is niet één doorn die ze fataal gaat zijn, maar al onze doornen tezamen vormen een ondoordringbare barrière. En wij kunnen allemaal zo’n doorn zijn, in alles wat we dagelijks doen.'

Angst is hun wapen, maar angst is ook hun enige wapen. Ze zijn ervan afhankelijk dat hun tegenstanders capituleren en niet terugvechten. Het was weinig in het nieuws, maar Elsfest heeft met meer dan 2 maanden volop mobiliseren in rechtse kringen niet meer dan 2.000 mensen op de been gekregen.

you may remember we were collaborating with @hyhband.bsky.social to release a soundtrack to @aimeeogdenwrites.com's novella STARSTRUCK

long story short, the music project took on a life of its own for HYH, and we gave them the rights back so they could bring it to life as a bigger project
