The boy is taking shape. Hoping all the clay takes paint happily after sanding. I worked on the body today, giving him high, hunched shoulders and the beginnings of heavy boots. I don't think we really see Orlok's feet, but right now he's got Monster High stiletto feet and that just won't do.

Thinking of Edward, Fred, and Bill Urry, my cousins who died together at the battle of Gallipoli along with their brother-in-law Arthur William Richardson. It’s thought they are the only set of three brothers who died on the same
day in World War One. I dedicated The Others of Edenwell to them.

Who doesn't want to sip hot gin punch in a Georgian hospital chapel while Dr Rory MacLellan tells you all about enchanted jumping bread? Me and @rlsummerling.bsky.social got to go down into the crypt and see the graves of eminent surgeons. Obsessed with this jolly little skelly lad and his mad hat.

If AI 'levels the playing field' by turning everything into insipid beige paste, only nepo babies and their parents will be trustworthy: a familiar brand in a confusing landscape. It's about letting wealth access talent while keeping talent from wealth. This is a class issue.

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

You have to be in it for the love of the game. You have to be obsessed. If you let a bot do your research for you, your bloodline is weak, your ancestors are ashamed, and you will not survive the winter.
