Perfect. No notes. Total clarity of vision. @scumbelievable.bsky.social truly, your best yet.
A white hand with black nail polish, wearing a silver ring shaped like two snakes entwined, reaches towards a copy of Gretchen Felker-Martin's Black Flame across a rumpled expanse of gray fabric. The hand's middle and pointer finger frame the tagline on the cover, which reads, "Do you want it?"

Shout out to whoever put this on both sides of this marquee. We love an omen!
A Wendy's sign, at the corner of an office building with a parking area on the ground floor where a number of Uhaul vehicles are parked. The sign rises from a small grassy area, a few overgrown bushes just behind the supporting pole. The marquee reads: MISFORTUNE AWAITS LUCKY U

If you see this I implore you to post a picture from your device without comment.
A computer mouse and a pot of basil on an off-white desk top, with a desktop computer and a desk phone with a touch screen behind them. Despite the obvious fluorescent light, the basil leaves are a rich, dark green and obviously fresh, rising in a mound from the translucent plastic pot.

A screencap of a Letterboxd review dated 26 June 2025 of "The Company of Wolves" (1984), written by user radiosaturday, which reads: "Weird and beautiful. I love the Angela Carter story, and have wanted to see this for some time. Very much in the fever-dream/fairytale mode of horror -- if, indeed, it is a horror movie -- with practical effects that loop back around to being upsetting. I think it's good? I certainly enjoyed it." Two people liked that review.

LOOK AT THIS INCREDIBLY COOL PICTURE @nyxieneon.art TOOK OF ME

I love this photo so much holy shit
A white person wearing black clothes and a black tricorn hat stands in front of a chain link fence, their hands in their pockets. They are smiling, and the tricorn is adorned with a large cockade in the colors of the trans pride flag.

I finally made the trans pride cockade I've had planned for a while! I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt.
A white person's hand holds a black tricorn hat, attached to which is a cockade in the colors of the trans pride flag. #transpride #craftsky

Passed by this sculpture, which I have loved for many years, today. I love that it's in what used to be a destination shopping district; I was this guy many times in the years I worked there.
A bronze sculpture of a seated young man wearing chukka boots, corduroy trousers, and a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, his knees splayed thoughtlessly. He holds a hamburger with a bite missing from it in one hand, a rather draggled book in the other, and seems to be reading intently as he eats. The sculpture is seated on a low wall with grassy bushes behind it. In the lower right corner of the photograph, a plate reading "Out to Lunch / J. Seward Johnson Jr. / Sculptor / 1977" can be seen, set atop a flat stone.

Really pleased with this shawlette I made recently, and finally wore for the first time yesterday.
A white person with blonde hair that is buzzed at the sides but long and pulled back on top, dressed in black with exposed forearms, who is wearing glasses, takes a mirror-selfie. They wear a knitted wrap that tapers to a blunt point where it hangs down in front; it has variegated stripes of beige, tan, blues, greens, and browns. The wrap is secured at their left shoulder with a long, silver pin. As evidenced by the dark jackets on hangers, a red-framed walker, and other items in the background, the photo was clearly taken in a workplace bathroom. #knitting #craftsky

I got a big Etsy gift card for the holidays, and I'm currently seeking out trans yarn dyers with Etsy stores to buy from. Any suggestions? Current project for tax.
A piece of knitting in progress, mostly in pale gray but with a few rows of blue, pink, and gray variegated yarn near the needles, sits in a pile. The needles are circulars with silvery metal tips and a red cord, visible through the active stitches. #craftsky

Finally repaired this beloved sweater after several weeks of elbow hole problems. I wear this thing all the time.
A black and gray waffle-knit sweater folded on a bright green yoga mat. It's folded to display a black knitted heart-shaped patch on the sleeve. #craftsky

Would you like to have fun with American political corruption and also there's rats? This is the game for you! It's also good if you just want a good back-stabby game to play with friends.
The outer packaging of Pillbox Games' card-based board game Mud, which features an illustration of a rat surrounded by designs pulled from US currency and political posters. The name of the game is emblazoned on the box's fore-edge in gold. The box sits on a white tablecloth.

Vibes I'm bringing today
Top caption reads: "me: 'I'm not going to let it consume me' / also me:" Below the caption is a medieval illustration of a green monster labeled "it"; from the monster's mouth project a pair of human feet, labeled "me."

I finished reading Gravity's Rainbow just now and it is, in fact, All That and More.
A white hand holds a copy of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, from which an ecru bookmark with a red ribbon projects; the cover is spattered black and white, with the shape of a rocket stenciled in white. The book is held up against the beige plastic back of an airplane seat, with a pocket at the top labeled "Literature Only."

8. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. Carter's prose, with its French-Decadent overtones and deep engagement with fairytales of various kinds, is totally beguiling to me.

7. Model Home by Rivers Solomon. I burned through this one over the course of about 24 hours. Beautifully observed family dynamics, hallucinatory visions of suburbia, efficient yet luscious prose. I know it's recent, but I feel confident in this one staying high on my list for a long time.

6. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. (Picked this image for the cover; I'm not familiar with the Carlisle translation.) Probably Dostoevsky's best novel, highlighting both his nuanced psychological observation and his ability to write The Worst Birthday Party.
A probably '70s copy of Dostoevsky's The Idiot, looking a little rough around its green-ochre edges.

5. Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link. One of my favorite short story collections, introduced to me when I read the title story in Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Link turns the storytelling approach O'Connor pioneered to the bizarrerie of contemporary life, to great success.

4. There Is No Year by Blake Butler. An absolute masterclass in pacing -- one of the most unsettling, nigh-incoherent novels I've ever read. It rips.

Quite a bit of blue here!
A photograph of a street dotted with traffic confess, facing along a sidewalk. On the sidewalk there is a white a-frame with signage for Pizza Hut parking, a red advertising banner, and a pair of brown shoes.

3. Dreamers of Decadence by Philippe Jullian, translated by Robert Baldick. Really delicious analysis of the Symbolist and Decadent artists of the late 19th century. Unselfconsciously all-in on its topic. Marked some kind of turning point for me that I'm still not sure how to describe.

2. Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi. An extraordinary semi-autobiographical debut novel by one of the best writers currently working. Emezi put themself on the map with this one. Gorgeous and upsetting (complimentary).

1 (which is actually a three-fer but all three put together barely top 600 pages). Lloyd Alexander's Westmark trilogy. Smart, humane, really influenced my thinking about history in a positive way. I reread them recently and they hold up well.
