Happy New Year to all
New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy.
(And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate…and to those who don’t I hope you’re enjoying a day off!

Found the perfect holiday gift for a young artist who loves dinosaurs. EXTINCT is a surprisingly thick yet compact "coffee table" book. Tons of art and almost no words. Came overseas well-packaged. Thanks @dragonsofwales.bsky.social !

'I actually got quite angry with Spielberg, who was and is a good friend, and told him just to film Zaillian's script. But Steven, like a lot of other people in movies, tends to think one more opinion can't hurt,' he said.

I just had my mind blown by SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN by @wiswell.bsky.social. It's about a monster in a fantasy setting, but really it's a psychological thriller...I mean a romance...a mystery...horror elements....
