If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

In 2016 we also did another anthology - Thirty Years of Rain - which is still available, marking 30 years of the @gsfwc.bsky.social - wow, nearly 10 years ago! My story is about the end of the world, and witches looking for hope. I do like a theme!

through it all, one of the best things about social media is seeing the barriers dissolve, the random people you follow becoming more, the conversations that you don't know how those connections were made, but you are delighted to see those bridges built, we are more than one.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

I had been thinking I would slip in an hour or so of writing group reading before dinner. Which I've done other nights this week; trying to crit a novel. But after a day of doc reading I think a nap is much more likely. Ho hum.

It's a contract/specification reading day, which is always exhausting. Everything is so generic and excessive and they want work for free. I've had as much as I can in one day, to of course open appendices and find another 18 generic/must comply packages.

Just heating some cock-a-leekie soup for lunch, wishing I'd got some nice bread. Got a mug of Assam. About half way through Nnedi's Death of the Author. And listening to Jesca Hoop; I've just got tickets for her Glasgow gig in Hug & Pint in December.

Thus begins the story of the Shepherdess, one of the protagonists of my new comic, Ekphrasis.

Comic page with two panels, showing an antenna on top of a dome. The texts say: "I am a Shepherdess, and my herd is celestial and metallic. The satellites are up above me. Far, far away up in the atmosphere... And here I am, down below. In this island, in this building, in this dome. Far, far away from anything and anyone else."
