an absolutely stunning quilt (hand-dyed! curved piecing!) that I'm really annoyed isn't previewing properly:

today's batch of pictures I took at the Fuller Craft Museum, this time all from the exhibition on quilts and baskets (I don't know why the images aren't previewing, sorry).

a soothing quilt:

thank you, putting it on my list!

I'm interested in the question here about post-Broken Earth books. Opening suggestion: The Siege of Burning Grass by Premee Mohamed. Science fantasy, distinctive voice and strong sense of argument/viewpoint, narrative marries personal and (world/society-scale) political.

anyway I found METAL FROM HEAVEN so frustrating that I had to dust off the booklog to get it off my chest: steelypips.org/weblog/2025/...

still looking for post-Broken Earth suggestions!

and then I might as well mention THE GREAT GATSBY while I was at it: steelypips.org/weblog/2025/...

(I have spent too much time doing this today, but if you're interested in hearing about the GATSBY ballet I saw, let me know.)

(I posted the CINDER HOUSE review last to end on a good note, though.)

I wrote up some other books because I felt bad about dusting off the booklog to frustration-post. The goal was to get to Freya Marske's latest, CINDER HOUSE: steelypips.org/weblog/2025/...

I don't think it was marketed as about union organizing specifically as opposed to class generally

but it's something that after the opening massacre there is extremely little focus on either workers or unions

in August I went to the Fuller Craft Museum outside of Boston and took a ton of pictures, which I've finally finished queuing at Tumblr.

last museum trip, I posted the pictures here directly; but adapting the text to the character limits took forever. so this time, it's just Tumblr links, sorry!
