A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

Let's talk about books and the public trust.

📚🧵

Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:

Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.
A bookcase near a doorway, through which you can see another bookcase. There are maybe 150 books visible, with very few duplicates; they are shelved fairly tightly, with only one face out. A book open to a page with text about William Caslon, a printer and font creator. The text is actually in Centaur, which was created by Bruce Rogers. This is from Rogers' book about creating Centaur, actually.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Gold and black art deco image, with white text and story excerpt, outlining Aurora Awards eligibility in the category of Best Short Story. Midnight Man versus The Long Night by Chadwick Ginther. Voting open at www.csffa.ca, closing April 5, 2025. Story excerpt: “The gallery’s main hall had been transformed into a funhouse of mirrors—no, not mirrors. Bones. Bones polished mirror-bright, distorting my reflection, twisting me into a broken thing. A vision of what I could be. A warning of what I mustn’t be. My reflections, broken across the many bones, led the song, while the Long Night’s victims rasped the chorus.”

"Midnight Man versus The Long Night" might just be my favourite story in my Midnight Man sequence (so far!). I hope you'll give it a read.

A bunch of my stories ripped off, and fed into the plagiarism machine. Wish I could set my characters on these thieving ghouls.

I hate this timeline.

Carpe Noctem and anthologies I’ve written for.

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Attention policy makers: As a business owner in Canada, I could take advantage of pretty good tax breaks if I had a car. But I don’t want a car and choose to live where I don’t need one. That’s better for everyone.

But there are no tax breaks connected to my public transit pass.

That’s bad policy.

“What you’re dealing with here is a carnival barker… the almost unanimous response of the Canadian people is heartening. I think we all know we’re going to suffer here. But the truth is that tariffs and trade wars are expensive, but not being American? That’s priceless.”— @stephenmarche.bsky.social
