I love the 10th anniversary Southern Reach covers so much, god damn. And with Absolution now in paperback, they all match. :)
(I picked it up last week but then forgot to pull it out of my bag until today because lolADHD)
Four Jeff VanderMeer paperback books with covers facing up: Annihilation, 10th anniversary edition with a mutating boar; Authority, 10th anniversary edition with a mutating rabbit; Acceptance, 10th anniversary edition with a mutating owl; and Absolution, with a mutating alligator.

ohhh my mystery box from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social arrived and it's full of pretties :3

.... I can't remember if I mentioned being ace in my comments. I'm choosing to believe I didn't because it makes the cic-ace-da necklace EVEN BETTER if it was just luck.
A string of purple, black, white, and gray beads with an iridescent cicada charm on a silver chain; a pair of earrings with bees and monstera leaves; a second pair of earrings made of a golden stem with a golden flower on the end; a necklace with green and blue beads and a focal with floral shapes in it on a gold chain.

(seriously though look at how pretty this cover is!!)
Front cover of The Situation, which features a lot of bugs mostly. Back cover of The Situation, which has bears and guts and bats and fish and more bugs, and some ruins.

Little heartbroken for no Book of Lost Places BUT a standalone copy of The Situation is a pretty good consolation. And absolutely delighted to finally get my hands on the SubPress Hummingbird Salamander, which I missed when it was available. Thank you so much, @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social!
The movie tie-in cover edition of Annihilation, the Subterranean Press printing of Hummingbird Salamander, and The Situation, all by Jeff VanderMeer. Above the books is the top portion of an included note explaining that, due to the nature of books and time, some copies of The Book of Lost Places were too damaged, and so The Situation and Annihilation have been included in their place.

A lot of USPS options went way WAY up over the weekend. :((
USPS announced new rates for domestic services starting July 13th. If you ship with Priority Mail you're headed for choppy waters, with rates increasing by up to 51%! What's changing? Both Commercial Pricing and Connect eCommerce rates are changing everywhere you can buy USPS postage-there's no escaping it Here's a quick breakdown for each service: Priority Mail rates are increasing in almost all cases, with prices for most shipments seeing double digit increases-some by as much as 51% cases, with prices for most shipments seeing double digit increases-some by as much as 51% Priority Mail Flat Rate services are increasing by up to 11%, except for Flat Rate Envelopes which are staying the same price. Ground Advantage rates are largely staying the same with increases mostly under 4%, but there are increases up to 14% for some rural shipments. Media Mail rates are decreasing by 2% Priority Mail Express rates aren't changing International rates aren't changing either The maximum discount USPS offers compared to retail pricing is decreasing from 89% to 87% (that's a 20 lb package with dimensions measuring less than 0.1 cubic feet shipping with Priority Mail to zone 8, if you're curious

actually, you know what you should do. I'm on FAILED ATTEMPT NUMBER 4 to get this figure, so the ball would need to start in your court because I'm getting beyond annoyed. You should obtain and then repaint the fluffy cat in the minifigure series 27 "cat lover" to look like Sazy.

I know that this is a bot phishing for bites but.... my ancient work on ff-dot-net is uh. Frustration haiku written about Ecco the Dolphin, lmaoooo. Next time you try to bark up a tree, make sure it's not just an old signpost first, little bot.
Screen shot of an email from Fanfiction.com reading: you have received a message from Roma Michale. The message subject is "Artist and Reader" and the contents are: Howdy, Your creations inspire me a lot; the way you defined the scene is amazingly done, and I would be thrilled to feature your stories through my art skills in highly affordable prices. If you're up for it, let's join together.

TFW the mail gets through but maybe it shouldn't have.
A padded mailer with tread marks and holes ripped into it, with a label left by USPS advising that the package was damaged and unsealed. An absolutely flattened pair of LEGO Minifigure legs and the decimated remains of the cardboard box it was in.
