When I got in the car last night I got a face full of spider web. It was quite distracting having this beauty sitting above my head. I’ll be serving an eviction notice later today. Partly because there is no suitable food in the car and because we disagree on what music to play.

Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days.

We have cover reveal!!! Coming soon: THE BEST OF ALL-STORY LOVE: 1929, an anthology of romance pulp fiction from that magazine's first year. #romancelandia #booksky 📚💙

For more info, along with the finalized story line-up, check out this blog post: lucynka.wordpress.com/2025/09/26/t...
The front cover of the upcoming book. The base illustration is by Paul Stahr and shows a dark-haired white man in a rowboat, rescuing a blonde white woman from a river. (She's still half in the water, looking up at him, and their arms are around each other in a nice, classic clinch.) At the top is the title "The Best of ALL-STORY Love," with "ALL-STORY" in the magazine's classic red font. At the bottom is the year "1929," and then below that, in much smaller type, is "Edited and with an introduction by Lucynka Staron."

I’m reading a Vaseem Khan book and he mentions this place, the Towers of Silence, where the Parsis of India place their dead to be devoured by vultures. Sky burial, a centuries-old tradition, was interrupted by painkilling drugs humans used, which decimated the vultures. Amazing. #BookSky 💙📚
