White cat curled up on a mustard coloured velvet cushion. She looks very peaceful and cosy

Loving this despite the illegible 6pt font and horrible cover. Beautifully written & Southern gothic vibes all over
Front cover of The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. It’s a weird anniversary edition type cover that shows a smaller image of the actual original book cover, at an angle, against a white background. Why?!!! But the book is brilliant so all is forgiven.

Rereading Frankenstein and enjoying past-me’s sarcastic abuse of the protagonist…
Page from Frankenstein in which he declines to save someone wrongly accused of murder, saying no one would believe him if he told the truth. A note in the margin reads ‘how convenient.’

Seasonal socks:
Pair of black socks with cat faces on them. They have white fur on them from an actual cat. The faces are at the end of the feet, meaning a person can wear them without immediately revealing what a mad cat person they are.

“Helping” with some dressmaking
A calico cat is sitting on a piece of fabric that has been laid out on the floor. She has been kneading it with her paws and hunting it, because attention is being paid to the sewing machine and not her.

Turned the page of my (second hand) book and found this. Hopefully not an omen of any kind.

“The difficult and the incomplete should be positive events in our understanding; they should stimulate us as simulation and facile manipulation of complete objects cannot”

Reading Richard Sennett’s The Craftsman and thinking about AI
Front cover of The Craftsmen by Richard Sennett Page from Richard Sennett’s The CRAFTSMEN: 44 CRAFTSMEN “The tactile, the relational, and the incomplete are physical experiences that occur in the act of drawing. Drawing stands for a larger range of experiences, such as the way of writing that embraces editing and rewriting, or of playing music to explore again and again the puzzling qualities of a particular chord. The difficult and the incomplete should be positive events in our understanding; they should stimulate us as simulation and facile manipulation of complete objects cannot.”
