Today could be a really good day to buy a copy of Birding from an independent bookshop, or perhaps even its poor neglected older sibling This Is Yesterday
Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌

udo kier appeared in many of my favourite films but i most recently saw him in werner herzog's sensational MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE where he performs alongside a cast of eccentrics (willem dafoe, michael shannon, chloe sevigny, &c) and gets his glasses stolen from his pocket by an ostrich

Everything became cooler if Udo Kier showed up and by God, he might show up anywhere. His journey ends but he'll still be surprising me years from now. RIP.
