Ryan Vine's new book, "The Cave," is marvelous...

...including this little gem that parses the line between solitude & merely being alone ❤️ @ryanvine.bsky.social

Good Company

Walking through the snowy field
the day after
I walked through the snowy field,

I step next to my first set of prints
so anyone who cares to can see
I was never alone.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm.

Hey, Sam! Good to hear from you, man. Hope all's well where you are (I mean, as well as can be).

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
