King Sorrow destroyed me and built me back up, oftentimes on the same page. Thank you, @joe-hill.bsky.social, for this fantastic novel.

You gotta check the "history" book being sold back here... Here's the cover. It's fucking insane book sellers are carrying this. Zoom in and revel in the insanity.

I'm all for congratulating @wired.com on their great reporting this year, but also...

Pay artists instead of using junk AI generated images. Or maybe DON'T any images at all if you can't pay them. This looks like shit and it signals that the article is not worth a read.

Messy.

Hat's off to the @play.date team. Season 2 is well worth it. Completed Dig! Dig! Dino! and loved the bonkers ending. Fulcrum is great! Blippo+ is bananas! About to try out the next two...

Sí, los sonidos de la ciudad pueden molestarte. Pero de eso a saltar a su propuesta… (igual aquí no te alquilan en un montón de lugares si tienes mascotas).

This made me chuckle. From back when I finally caved in and purchased "Go to Heaven" – I did it for "Althea", and at the perfect price.

La serie concluye con la postal para diciembre, cuya cita fue tomada de “Before” por Khaled Mattawa. Originalmente planeaba hacer un homenaje a “Love In Us All” de Pharoah Sanders pero mi perrito Kamal (QEPD) pidió salir a pasear, convirtiendo la postal en otro tipo de homenaje. #NationalPoetryMonth

La penúltima postal, para noviembre, incluye una cita de “Gown Sonnet” por Tacey Atsitty. Aunque probablemente el diseño más distante a mi trabajo usual, me disfruté tanto el proceso de empujarme a hacer algo menos “flat” que terminó entre mis postales favoritas de esta serie #nationalpoetrymonth

La postal del mes de octubre incluye una cita tomada del poema “Adjacent, Against, Upon” por Rick Barot. This, I feel, is the keystone to the project. And I think I’ll leave it at that here 🙂 #NationalPoetryMonth.

La postal de septiembre incluye una cita del poema “The City” por Nathalie Handal. Me dispuse a recrear una vista desde la colina de Gianicolo que sirvió de inspiración a la autora al escribir su contestación al poema “The City” del poeta griego Constantine P. Cavafy. #NationalPoetryMonth

I just read your post a minute ago. Checked my email. Saw I had 1 email in my Spam folder and... I got my forty bucks too!

La postal del mes de agosto incluye una cita tomada del poema “The Lion’s Mouth” por Randall Mann. Amo los patrones geométricos –ésta fue la primera que diseñé para esta colección, aunque de las últimas en terminar por lo mucho que jugué con los colores.

La postal del mes de julio incluye una cita tomada del poema “Undoing” por Khadijah Queen. A veces no hace falta más que unas líneas para llegar a donde queremos ir –en este caso una carretera paralela a la de Lynch y los Magnetic Fields.

The postcard for June features an excerpt from "Pier 52" by Omotara James. As is the poem, the image was inspired by one of Alvin Baltrop's "Pier Photographs", which documented clandestine gay culture in NYC during the 70s and 80s.

If you've ever visited El Morro in Old San Juan during the windiest months, you know the inspiration for this one :-)
