“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

On a high-rise patio, a man hugs Rebus from the Doom Patrol tightly. Rebus returns the hug but says, “Don’t get blood on the coat.“

Really not loving the Under New Management approach MRM has taken. From contracts to communication, and on. But this misunderstands how both newsstand/bookstore sales and archiving work. Like, before we even hit the "And the preceding 74 years of pub were...?", how do you not put month/year on here?

Today's exciting post, the latest and the last kickstarter rewards/books from @quindriepress.com
Three books, a print and sticker from Quindrie Press. Estrela d'Oeste shows a church building, in front of a hill, a bird flies over. I Let Love Destroy Me shows a long haired person, wearing a blindfold, an apple on their head, they have been shot through with arrows, including one through the eye. Ways to Kill My Mother's Lover shows children playing cricket, but on the ground the visible shadow of mother & lover embracing. The print shows a dinosaur skeleton.

It's believed we've lost the true name for bear in Germanic languages - "bear" roughly means "brown one," a euphemism used instead of the true name because it was believed that saying their true name would summon the bear.

Google removes a variety of longstanding GMail features if you try to withdraw your default consent (!) to having all your content read and used by Google Gemini via "Smart Features." That's an obvious attempt to coerce consent for privacy violations. Legislatures must act to make this illegal.

Iced-over Union Canal this morning. Just a thin layer of ice, sufficient to let the sparrows hold a Frost Fair, perhaps.

Good night at Waterstones tonight for the launch of @shonak.bsky.social Daughters of Nicniven and @samkhorton.bsky.social Ragwort, interviewed by @megintransition.bsky.social
Good to see a crowd out, despite hiw cold it was and train issues. (was - 5°C by time I got home from the pub after!)
Argyle St Waterstones events space. Meg McDonald, a white woman with long dark hair on left, hosting event. On right, authors Shona Kinsella (white woman with dark hair) and Sam K. Horton (white man with red hair). Standing to the side, D (non-binary person), introduces the event and runs through safety guidance. Shona reads from her book Daughters of Nicniven. Sam reads from his book Ragwort. Meg asks a question while Shona and Sam listen intently.

Today's exciting post? Mileships, the highly anticipated art book by @ianmcque.bsky.social with accompanying texts by @rossignol.bsky.social - supported the kickstarter for this, a no brainer, been loving Ian's weird ships (and everything else) for years.
Front cover of book. Shows a cobbled together boat, but it is flying. Town below, with similar cobbled together feel, clouds drift in background. Text: MILESHIPS, IAN McQUE Back of book, another flying boat, though less built up, more functional. Page inside book, working man sat on girder, wearing overalls and harness. Boat in background. Sketches from the book. One shows a flying boat like a multistory house. Other shows shape like hollowed out whale, with lighthouse tower in stern.

Postman grumbling because porch wasn't open and we were expecting parcels. Except, only one of the 4 items arriving today that I had a date for was expected tomorrow! Everything else arriving and tomorrow's being early is pure coincidence.
