I'm yours in the day and the dead of night
My poem "ἀγκυλοθάλασσος" has been accepted by Strange Horizons. I am indebted to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
radiantfracture for his Twine prompt generator designed to produce scientific-sounding compound adjectives and nouns, in this case the irresistible "ankylothalassic" from ἀγκύλος "crooked, bent" and θάλασσα "the sea." I rendered it back into classical Greek and José Esteban Muñoz and Twelfth Night got in there along the way. It was written on New Year's Eve.
While I was out of ambit of the internet for almost all of yesterday, Reckoning: It Was Paradise hit the digital shelves. It is the special issue of the journal of environmental justice on war and conflict and contains a poem of mine which will go live on the internet in a month, or you could pick it up now with the rest of the shatteringly topical e-book if you don't feel like preordering it in print. I wrote it last summer after the—first—U.S. strikes on Iran. I taught myself a small amount of Elamite cuneiform for it. It should not have come around to such relevance again.
The designer of the Paleontological Research Institute's long-running pre-saurian Paleozoic Pals has just branched out into Pleistocene mammals with a Kickstarter for Cenozoic Snuggles. I have put in for a Glyptodon.
I may have slept nine hours. I just heard Rabbitology's "The Bog Bodies" (2026).

And ~ thank you ~ for "The Bog Bodies." I love absolutely everything about it.

Thank you! The issue is phenomenal. I'm so glad there will be a print edition as opposed to the ephemera of pixels.

You are very welcome! I had never heard any of their music before and I have been playing it non-stop. I love that songs about bog bodies are just an entire genre now.

Thank you! Last night's snow which stuck to the roofs and the cars has melted.

Thank you! It would be even better if it were consecutive, but sleeping a standard amount more than once in the same week feels huge.
