I am interested in working with an artist on a graphic novel on soil and/ or global environmental change. The lab would have money to fund this.

Do you know of any graphic artists that would be interested?

Things that are bringing me joy this year number 18. The fact that there's a wonderful new lit mag in town specifically for Disabled, Chronically Ill, and Neurodivergent Writers. @nervetowrite.bsky.social is run by the brilliant @sfmontgomery.bsky.social. Excited to appear in the first issue.

Okay I know this is a very late entry but: I *loved* the mechanical elephant at Nantes. I shrieked out loud. It was such a moment of like... awe, wonder, delight, and I felt... a very different effect than seeing it on a screen? If that makes any sense?
the mechanical elephant at nantes -- a large steampunk elephant made out of (i think?) wood, with many articulations for its joints. it has a little glass compartment in the front for the driver, and a kind of structure in its midsection for people to ride in. several people are at the railing, looking down.

queers who never wanted
justice, an eye for an eye,
justice is blind

I adore @annapele.eu's brilliant narration. She does an amazing job bringing this little #solarpunk story to life!

As I was re-listening, I realized this story of necropoliticians has only become more relevant since it came out in 2024.

And it's the spot of hope even I needed this morning💚

My second adventure as a narrator is out. It was nerxciting again.
Thank you @susankayequinn.bsky.social for giving me this beautiful story to read!
And thank you @reckoningmag.bsky.social for adding me to your cast of narrators!

Reckoning's occasional podcast has been running like a well-oiled machine thanks to editor Aaron and new narrators including Anna, and I sure hope everybody appreciates the significant increase in quality from the days of my gravelly, rambly, sibillant amateurishness :P
