I adore old bookplates, but this Victorian speciman in a newly-acquired volume is especially intriguing for combining mediaeval iconography of knights & heraldic lion with ancient egyptian elements - hieroglyphs, behdety (winged sun), and twin images of the jackal deity Duamutef

I can rarely resist Anubian jackals and so was delighted to claim Wepwawet and Anubis from the #FurCon2025 art show, both by @gaze.bsky.social

every child should have their own tree to tend and plant, and this pine was mine - planted twenty years since at my mother’s house, after having been started in a pot circa 1999 from seeds found on a hike in California

I spent all day today at an antiquarian book fair, had a splendid time & came home with four novels, an original photograph of an Alaskan gold-rush steamship circa 1900, and an 1780s engraving of John Duke of Bedford, brother of Henry V of Shakespearien fame

once or twice a year I allow myself to indulge in some especially fine addition to my library, today’s latest example of which is this divinely pretty 1927 edition of the Morte D’Arthur - beautifully bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe

inspired by @tofte.bsky.social’s furry history panel at AC, I have started collecting old furry zines and such
