It's been overcast the last couple of days, but I did get a good look at a Wood Duck on Central Park's Pool. It was busy chasing Mallards away from his Wood Duck girlfriend! He gave me a quizzical look, too! ❤️💚💙 #Ducks #CentralPark #birding

ICYMI, Space Unicorns! Behold, the Uncanny Magazine Issue 67 Table of Contents and Paul Lewin cover! buff.ly/D7a2nXG
Cover: Mushroom Mother of Us All by Paul Lewin. In the center, an elderly Black woman has her eyes serenely closed, a brown-orange nose piercing on her right nostril and an orange line/mark on her chin. Her hair are the green leaves of trees, trunks growing out of the side of her face, and mushrooms growing through the leaves. She wears large earrings of orange, sienna, with aqua and white lines and dots. Her hands hold a bowl lined with Black faces and mushrooms growing out of the bowl. In the center of the bowl and thus the front of her chest is an orange sun surrounded by a dark pink halo like a globe. The text "Uncanny," "November/December 2025," "Issue Sixty-Seven," and the credits are in white.

This morning I came across the bench donated in memory of Janet Reid. What a perfect spot, looking over the Harlem Meer, and you can see the Discovery Center. I know we were on Twitter at the time, but if anyone is here who isn’t local:

As a used bookseller, this is maddening because every damn day I see appetite for strange books, old books, indie books, forgotten books. Readers are there. They love to explore the store & buy things they've never heard of.

Publishing's biggest problem is that they've forgotten how to sell books.

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

I’ve been having trouble getting myself to face the outside world, but this morning I got to the park.

I'm sorry to howl into the void but this grief is fucking awful. I've heard others say that when their spouse/partner died they felt like they lost their arm. I feel like I've lost my insides. We were in each other's lives for almost 45 years--and I'm not 80, or 70, or even 60.
