This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it.
Spread this one far and wide.
Books & Bewitchment, a mystical dream in mauve and salmon, is surrounded by stickers. Jolly, candylike stickers. You want them. You crave them. You can have them. See the next slide.
This flower graphic says: The BOOKS & BEWITCHMENT tour starts TUESDAY, which is launch day! If you're not near Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Knoxville, Lexington, Greenville, or Asheville, you can still get a signed bookplate and stickers. Here's how: 📚 1. Buy the book in any form from any vendor. 2. Email delilahbookplates at gmail dot com with your receipt. 3. Also let me know how you'd like your bookplate signed and make sure to give me a mailing address. 4. Each envelope will get 2-3 stickers, so if you want a particular one, let me know! 5. US only due to international mail issues. But there's a signed edition at @forbiddenplanet in the UK!

A dump of photos from this evening's sunset at Big Beach in Ucluelet. Lately I've been trying to limit my photo posts to 1 or 2 shots but I just couldn't cull that many... There was light, waves, birds and I brought out my "good" gear. Hope you like some of them.
