so uhm I think I found Old Jim’s piano and a bunch of other weird stuff on a boat in Hokkaido @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social
white high speed catamaran with wild paintings of sealife and piano with eyes and maybe something else I cannot comprehend unhinged painting of a piano in the form of a whale (?) with eyes and singing sealife, on the side of a large boat

what a paragraph. I’ve been thinking about the idea of non-linear experience of time just recenty and this is a really precise definition of a similar concept from J G Ballard. www.jgballard.ca/non_fiction/...
All my own fiction could be regarded as an attempt to escape from time -- or, more exactly, from linear time, as it seems to me that time is quantifiable and non-linear in far more aspects, and that the most significant relationships and experiences of our lives are intelligible only in non-linear terms. (If this seems doubtful, pause for a moment and examine the goulash of ideas, images, activities, relationships and dreams that make up your own life -- how many of them make sense in linear terms, how adequately would a framework such as Pride and Prejudice or The Magic Mountain, to take two examples at random, represent the texture of your own consciousness and behaviour? Far less adequately, I would guess, than a framework such as that of "You and Me and the Continuum" or "The Atrocity Exhibition." This is no comparison of literary merit, I hasten to add.)

so apparently they found this monster 35 years ago on the beach in my town where I regularly swim… or at least used to swim…

fuck me, I knew this book would be intense and so I waited long for a right moment to read it, and now with a mild fever and rain pouring down outside I feel like I entered the swamp made of hot nauseating dreams and I fucking love every page of it

new #onsenpunk post: the hot spring visit today allowed us to experience changes in the water drawn directly from the source and I spent some time mediating on it

The inside bath was also an experience of its own.
Water flowing in a tiny stream into blueish pool of hot spring. The greens are conquering back the room. Blue-green water in a tiled bath.

I am fascinated by this weird mushroom structure that I discovered in a hotel that looked long dead, but was still operational. You lose any sense of time and place here. True onsenpunk experience.
Giant concrete mushroom-looking structure in an outdoor hot spring bath. Everything is surrounded with deep green. Top of the “mushroom” is home to an ecosystem of moss, grass and lichen. Mushroom-looking structure looms over hot spring water while the trees and grass are capturing back the concrete building of the hotel. Silver water of the hot spring contrasts with the polished column of the mushroom structure.

Big part of onsenpunk is the exploration of connections between a subject and a place. Getting initial hints from @mjohnharrison.bsky.social I am starting my journey on this path and invite you to join me.

And this one goes to @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social because, again, I only learned of this amazing band (Three Mile Pilot) when he mentioned them in one of his posts, and I was blown away

and now finally the second Steampunk anthology arrives! I read the first one 3-4 years ago and there are stories there that I think about at least once a week. These anthologies are a treasure.
Two anthologies of steampunk fiction, the second one on top, its bronze colored jacket glowing like polished brass of a gun catching the sun

Somehow I have always thought this song was ahead of its time in anticipating the return of the Cold War, not the climate change, and the line “no one has computers anymore” hits differently now as well
