Yeah I love a lot of these books.

Authorities that ban books aren't protecting anyone from harm, they are just insulating ignorance.

Picture of a stencil on the sidewalk which reads “a gay bar was here” In the frame are brown boots, grey socks & camo shorts.

"I need to move around a bit. To shuffle my surroundings. To wake up in cities I don't know my way around and have conversations in languages I cannot entirely comprehend. There is always this tremendous longing in my heart to be lost, to be someplace else, to be far far away from all of this."

Yeah, I'm going to get a double shot of espresso in hot chocolate on my way in to work. I have to travel across London for a job today so I think it's justified

Two faves of mine, Kadrey and Pynchon, to each drop a new novel, the morning after the rise of the harvest moon…

THE FLESH KING will be out this Tuesday! It continues Ford, Neuland, and Tilda's story back home in New York, where they are blackmailed into hunting down an immortal killer. Also, my cat says please buy it because we're out of chicken and chicken is life. 😿
